Haven’t tried it, but it is next on the list.
spiced Walnuts
¼ cup powered sugar
dash of cayenne pepper cinnimon clove etc.
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup walnuts
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix sugar,spices, and salt. In a saucepan bring water to a boil and blanch the walnuts for 3 min. Drain. Roll the walnuts in the sugar mixture (the sugar should disolve slightly). Transfer nuts to baking sheet and place in oven stir occasionally until brown (about 10 min.)
Girdle Scones
I do not know if my cook book misspelled this one, it is prepaired on a griddle.
This creates moist scones with little fat compared to most scone recipes that I have tried.
2C all purpose flour
1Tsp Baking soda
2tsp cream of tartar
½ tsp salt
2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
2 Tablespoons Sugar
½-3/4 C Milk
Heat griddle or skillet
mix all dry ingredients (Ido not use the salt).
Cut in 2 tablespoon . Butter.
Add milk to form a soft dough.
Form 2 flat rounds ¼-1/2 inch (I pat it down on a floured board) into six wedge shapes and cook on a greased skillet until brown on one side, flip, and brown other side.
I add frozen blueberries and make them twice as thick than this recipe and cook for a long time. You could use a cookie cutter and make small rounds. Serve with honey or jelly.
They make a great weekend breakfast
You may also be suprised with plain biscuit dough that has a tablespoon of jelly placed in the center before baking
Vegetable cobbler
Strange name, it is basically vegetable stew with biscuit dough on top.
Heat the oven to the temperature that you normally bake biscuits for.
I only cook on cast iron, so you may need to adjust the steps.
Saute with butter (or favorite oil) 3 medium red potatoes in butter with 1 cup chopped onion. When almost done add 2 stalks of chopped celery, 3 chopped carrots and about ½ pound sliced mushrooms and ¼ cup of flour( if you like spices like pepper you can add it now). Add water to keep moist and from sticking until carrots and mushrooms are cooked. If you like you can add peas or sun chokes to the recipe with the carrots. Hopefully you have about ½ -3/4 of an inch from the top of your skillet or what you have pored your stew into. Add milk until the vegetables are almost covered. Place biscuit batter over the top of the stew and bake as you normally bake your biscuits. Some people use the canned kind but any rolled biscuit recipe will work. I have never tried drop biscuit dough, and I do not think it would work. Remember, if you want it to look pretty, brush milk over the top to brown.
Make sure something is under your baking pan, the milk sometimes boils over.
This is not low cal, but it reheats well, and you can serve as much or as little as you want.
