    How many here use a breadmaker?

    This is still my favorite bread maker recipe. It is just a basic Italian bread dough but it can be used for really great rolls or cinnamon rolls, or just good bread. I prefer to make a single long loaf instead of letting the bread maker bake it. Italian Bread Using a Bread Machine - Allrecipes

    The Pukka Pie I remember was served cold and the meat and stuff were suspended in a gelled stock. The recipe is more complicated than usual. I tried a similar recipe a few years back and it turned out okay. I would probably make a few changes Pukka Pie « Culinary Travels Of A Kitchen Goddess

    Pancakes for breakfast....or whatever

    Hi I.P. Pancakes themselves are not particularly fattening depending how many you eat:lol: but that changes if you really slather on the butter and syrup. When stawberries, blueberries, etc are in season you can probably do without the butter and syrup entirely.

    Pancakes for breakfast....or whatever

    "Drenched" in molasses would not likely be exactly my preference, but I do like molasses. My favorite thing on pancakes is lots of real, unsalted, butter and maple syrup. When I was a kid I could eat six or seven large pancakes. My girth is bigger now but I can't eat more than two pancakes...

    Pancakes for breakfast....or whatever

    Molasses....Of course,,, The pancake recipe above is very versatile. Without adding anything else, a large banana can be sliced into the batter, (keep the slices an eighth of an inch thick or less) or a cup of fresh blueberries works well also.

    Pancakes for breakfast....or whatever

    Pancakes have always been a favorite around our house. My daughter used to have three or four friends for a "sleepover", though I don't know when they actually slept. What I do know, is that I used to stand around making pancakes for an hour or more. I had a big cast iron frying pan that...

    Leftover Recipes

    Hi Karrie My favorite leftovers are beef stew, lamb stew, or lamb curry. All can be put in a pastry shell and baked to make a meat pie or a sort of Cornish Pasty. Vegetarian curry works well too.....

    Recipes

    Just a couple questions Gopher. How much water and what kind of chicken soup seasoning? The reason I'm asking is that I detest monosodium glutamate or MSG to the point where I will not use it. I use homemade stock for soups. Otherwise we might as well just open a can.

    Sorry Karrie. I missed your last post on baked beans. I prefer to have the beans in sauce rather than bean mush that I've inadvertently produced more than a few times. I've found that stirring very very gently and as seldom as possible during the baking works best to that end.

    Tortiere: Why Christmas

    To anyone who might be tempted to make Tortiere using a lot of ground pork, keep in mind that from two pounds of pork you will get close to a cup of fat so you have to cook the fat out of the pork before you combine it with the other ingredients. Cheers

    Tortiere: Why Christmas

    Just to upset all the vegetarians :lol: , Last night I made Tortiere. I used two pounds of lean ground pork and about a half pond of lean ground beef along with the potatoes, onions, celery, etc. It turned out great. The only problem is that with just the two of us, I had to freeze over half...

    Baking Powder Biscuits, Slightly Different

    Islandpacific I've made very good BP biscuits for years using the exact same ingredients. The vinegar, I started using 10 or 15 years ago. It reacts with the baking powder to make the biscuits higher.(lemon juice works as well) The difference here, I think, is that the butter is laid down in...

    Tortiere: Why Christmas

    The only place I've had Tortiere is in Quebec, in Winter. I never thought of it as a Christmas dish. I've just now read that it is traditionally a dish served after Christmas Eve mass. It is delicious when made mainly with pork.....Better than with beef. That just about exhausts my knowledge...
