2 ¾ cup flour 4 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 3 Tbsp Olive oil 3 Tbsp Coconut oil or butter 1 ½ cup milk

Preheat oven to 450° F.

Stir the flour, baking powder and salt together. Cut in the butter, or grate it & stir it in. Stir in the milk. For whole wheat flour, you might need 1 or 2 more Tbsp of milk. It should be a very soft, sticky dough. Drop by large spoonfuls onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes. Makes 12.

Variations:

Reduce the salt to ½ tsp. Add a bit of honey or sugar, and other things like nuts, oats, and dried fruit to make scones.

Use olive oil instead of butter. Add 1 tsp rosemary and 1 tsp black pepper and roll out into thin pizza crusts (recipe is enough for 2 medium-large pizzas). It makes a nice crackery crust.

Make vegan by using coconut oil instead of butter and water instead of milk. The biscuits still turn out soft and fluffy.

Add ¾ cup of grated cheese.

This is how my mom makes stuffing for Thanksgiving.

Ingredients: cornbread bread onions celery butter sage soup stock salt

Make a batch of cornbread. Cut into cubes after it's baked.

Gather different kinds of bread and rolls you have around. Stale bread is okay. Tear or cut the bread into cubes. Have an equal amount of cornbread and other bread.

Mix the cornbread and the other bread together in large bowl.

Saute chopped onions and chopped celery in butter.

Mix onions and celery into the breads.

Add a lot of ground sage to taste.

Add chicken/turkey broth or vegetable stock. Add enough to moisten the bread, especially if some is stale, but not so much that it turns into a gluey, soggy lump.

Add salt if the stock/broth you used was not salty.

At this point taste it and add more sage/salt/broth as necessary.

Spread it into a baking pan and warm it in the oven until it's warm all the way.

2 eggs 1 cup flour 1 cup water or milk 1 ½ Tbsp baking powder 2 Tbsp butter 2 Tbsp honey or sugar ½ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)

In a small bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In a medium bowl, combine flour, butter, baking powder, and nutmeg. Cut the butter in with a pastry cutter until it is small chunks. Add the eggs and the rest of the ingredients, stirring until there is no dry flour.

Use ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Cook on a lightly greased skillet over medium heat.

¾ cup buttermilk 1 ½ cup sugar ½ cup butter 2 Tbsp corn syrup 1 tsp baking soda

Choose a pot that is twice the size as you think you will need, as this recipe foams and triples in volume while cooking.

Mix ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium heat and stir for 8 minutes. Do not look away, just diligently stir as this can boil over easily or harden if neglected.

Enjoy pouring it over pancakes, waffles, fruit, cake, pie, anything and everything or even eat it with a spoon.

1 cup milk 2 Tbsp butter ½ tsp salt ½ cup sugar 1 egg, beaten 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 Tbsp yeast 1 tsp sugar ¼ cup lukewarm water (110 degrees) 4 to 4½ cups flour 3 Tbsp melted butter 1 Tbsp orange zest

Sauce: 1 cup orange juice ¼ cup sugar 1 Tbsp cornstarch

Heat milk with butter, salt and ¼ cup of the sugar. Heat until butter melts, but do not boil. Let cool to lukewarm. Whisk in egg and vanilla.

Dissolve yeast in water with 1 tsp sugar. Combine 3½ cups of flour with yeast mixture and milk mixture, stirring to form dough. Turn dough onto lightly floured board. Spread a thin layer of butter inside the bowl.

Knead dough about 8 minutes until smooth and resistant, adding flour if necessary.

Return to bowl. Cover and place in warm place to rise until double in size, 1 to 2 hours.

Punch down dough. Roll out on lightly floured board to a large rectangle about ½” thick. Brush with melted butter. Mix ¼ cup sugar with orange zest and sprinkle on.

Roll dough like jelly roll. Use a sharp knife to cut thick slices to make the rolls. Place in a greased cake pan.

Mix together the sauce ingredients and pour over the rolls. Cover and let rise in warm place until nearly doubled in size.

Heat oven to 325° F. Bake rolls 45 minutes, until light golden brown.

½ cup sugar ½ cup maple syrup or corn syrup ½ cup butter ½ Tbsp vinegar 1 egg 1 tsp ground black pepper ½ tsp ground allspice ½ tsp ground ginger ½ tsp ground nutmeg ½ tsp baking soda 2 ½ cups flour

Cook the sugar, maple/corn syrup, butter and vinegar in a pot over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and it boils. Pour into a bowl and chill down to room temperature. Beat in all the other ingredients. It will make a smooth paste.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and freeze for 20 minutes or chill longer. It rolls out much easier when it is hard/cold.

Preheat oven to 350° F, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

On a floured surface, roll the dough to about ¼” thick, then cut out shapes. Place them in the baking sheet with about 1” in between, because they do expand a little.

Bake for 7 minutes. (If they are thicker, or the pan is too crowded, they will require a few more minutes.) They should be slightly golden brown around the edges and look puffed up. Let them repose on the baking sheet until they are relaxed and more cool, then transfer cookies to a cooling rack. They should be thin and hard enough to snap, but slightly chewy when eating.

Makes about 36 cookies.

4 eggs ½ cup flour ½ cup milk or orange juice 2 Tbsp butter

Low-carb version: use almond flour instead of flour, use milk or unsweetened almond milk instead of orange juice.

Preheat oven to 425° F. Put the butter in a cake pan (8”×8” for a thick pancake, bigger for a thinner one) and put in the oven to melt.

Beat eggs until light. Add flour and milk and mix until smooth.

Pour the batter into the cake pan with the melted butter, and bake for 20-25 min. until brown.

Serve immediately. Top with what you prefer, such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, jelly/jam, warm applesauce with cinnamon, any kind of fruit topping, whipped cream, etc.

+ Pear & Rosemary

2 cups flour ½ tsp salt ¼ cup butter ¾ cup apple, grated or finely chopped 3 Tbsp honey 1 cup sour cream 1 egg 1 tsp baking powder cinnamon and sugar

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Stir together flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut in butter until crumbly and there's no more dry powder. Stir in apple, honey, sour cream and egg until combined.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or grease the sheet. Use a dough scoop to make round, small scones. Gently press down the tops of each scone to make them flat. Sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar.

Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes until the bottoms of the scones are light brown.

Remove from oven, cool slightly on the sheet pan and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Variation:

Use pears instead of apples, add ¼ tsp dried rosemary to dough, and exclude the cinnamon sugar.

2 tsp yeast 2 tsp sugar, brown sugar, honey, molasses, or maple syrup 1 cup warm water 1 cup warm milk or nut milk 4 Tbsp butter 1 ½ cups rolled oats ¾ cup chopped nuts (optional) 3 tsp salt 3 cups flour

In a large bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and warm water.

When the yeast becomes foamy, stir in the warm milk and butter. Stir in the oats, then the nuts if using, then the salt. Stir in the flour one cup at a time.

Knead the dough, using more flour as necessary, until the dough is relatively smooth, not sticky, and resistant. Coat the dough with oil, place in a large oiled bowl, and cover it with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes.

Knead the dough gently and form into a smooth loaf. Place in a bread pan. Coat the top of the dough with oil and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise for 30-40 minutes. Preheat oven to 350° F. Bake for 1 hour.

Old favorite from an Amish cooking book.

Snitz:

1 ham hock 1 ½ cups dried apples (or chopped fresh apples if you don't have the former) 2 Tbsp brown sugar

Place ham hock in heavy saucepan. Cover with 2 quarts water and boil 2 hours. Add apples and brown sugar. Add an additional 1.5 quarts water and cook until apples are soft. Add knepp.

Knepp:

2 cups flour 3 tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt 1 egg, beaten 2 Tbsp melted butter 1/3-½ cup milk

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add beaten egg, butter, and milk. Use only enough milk to make a sticky dough that will drop easily off a spoon. Drop by spoonfuls into boiling ham and apple mixture. Cover tightly and boil for 15 minutes.
