¾ cup cold buttermilk ¼ cup brown sugar 1 egg 2 cups flour ½ tsp salt 3 Tbsp cold butter ¾ cup oats cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375°. Combine the first three ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk until the egg is beaten.

Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the oats. Add milk mixture, stirring just until moist.

Place dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly until the dough is all together. Place on a baking sheet that is either greased, or lined with parchment. Form dough into an approximately ¾” thick, 9” circle. Cut dough into 12 wedges all the way through. Sprinkle cinnamon on top.

Bake until golden, 18-20 minutes. Serve warm.

This is not a traditional Welsh laverbread recipe, but it is similar.

1 cup prepared laver, or nori sheets torn up and soaked in water until soft (drain off excess water) ¼ cup rolled oats ¼ cup corn meal or oat flour vegetable oil salt pepper malt vinegar

Stir together the laver/nori, oats, and corn meal. It should make a dough that holds together, and is not runny or extremely sticky.

Warm the oil in a pan for frying. Form the dough into thin patties about 2” across. Fry them for a few minutes on each side, until golden and crisp. Place on a wire rack over paper towels to drain off excess oil.

Serve sprinkled with salt, pepper, and vinegar.

Makes about 9 patties.

Where I live, it's a lot easier to find nori, seaweed that has been toasted and rolled flat in a sheet. It is the same species of the seaweed used in Wales, but it's been prepared differently. As stated in the recipe, you can just soak it in water to soften (only takes a minute or so) for good results.

3 cups milk 2/3 cup sugar ¼ cup cornstarch 3 egg yolks 3 Tbsp unsweetened dark cocoa 1/8 tsp salt ½ tsp vanilla extract ½ cup dark chocolate chips

Put 2 ½ cups milk, the cocoa, and the salt in a saucepan over med-high heat. Sprinkle sugar on the milk, without stirring.

In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the remaining milk. Add egg yolks and beat well.

Right when milk comes to a boil, remove from heat and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Keep stirring as the mixture begins to thicken. Return to heat and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly as it thickens. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips and vanilla. Serve warm.

3 ¾ cups milk ½ tsp salt ¾ cup sugar ¼ cup + 1 tsp cornstarch 3 egg yolks 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract 1 ½ Tbsp butter

Put 3 cups milk and the salt in a saucepan over med-high heat. Sprinkle sugar on the milk, without stirring.

In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the remaining milk. Add egg yolks and mix well.

When milk comes to steaming, right before a boil, remove from heat and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Keep stirring as the mixture begins to thicken. Return to heat and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. It will continue to thicken as it cools. Serve warm.

Makes 6 servings.

For variations, replace ½ tsp of vanilla extract with another extract, like orange or lemon.

Serve alone, or with fruit or cake.

kale oil salt pepper

Preheat the oven to 375° F.

Wash the kale. Cut off the stems and cut the ribs out of the leaves. Cut the leaves into wide strips.

Pour some oil onto a baking sheet (a few tablespoons should suffice, although it depends on how much kale you have). Put the kale strips on the baking sheet, spreading them around and coating them with the oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Try to have them spread out evenly and not overlapping a lot.

Bake for 3-8 minutes, until they are light and crispy. The time on this varies depending on how much you've made, so just check it after a few minutes.

4 cups flour 2 cups warm water 1 Tbsp salt 2 tsp yeast ¼ cup honey

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve 2 tsp honey in the water. Stir in the yeast. When it is starting to foam, add 3 cups of flour, one cup at a time, mixing completely after each addition. On the third cup, add in the salt as well. Dump the fourth cup of flour onto the clean counter, then dump the dough on the flour and knead it. You may not need to knead in all of the flour, just until the dough is no longer sticky clumps. Knead the dough until it is smooth and stretchy. Coat the inside of the bowl with oil, coat the outside of the dough with oil, put it in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for 30 minutes or until doubled.

Roll out the dough into a large rectangle between ½” and ¾” thick. Drop globs of honey randomly onto the dough. Don't spread it in an even layer. Roll up the dough into a log and form into a loaf. Grease the inside of the bread pan and put in the dough. Cut a slash along the top of the loaf. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Put the bread pan in the oven, then set the temperature for 350° F. Bake for 40-50 minutes until the top is a deep golden brown & the loaf sounds hollow when you tap the bottom.

2 cups flour 2 Tbsp sugar 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt ¼ cup butter 1 cup buttermilk 1 Tbsp melted butter

Preheat oven to 375° F. Lightly grease a small baking sheet or dust with coarse cornmeal.

In a large bowl, sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Add buttermilk. Mix with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn out on a lightly floured board and knead gently until smooth, about 1 minute.

Shape into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten into a 7” circle. Dough will be about 1 ½” thick. Press a large knife into the loaf, almost cutting through to the bottom, dividing it into quarters.

Bake 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove to wire rack to cool. Brush top with melted butter.

¾ cup sugar ½ tsp cinnamon ¼ tsp grated nutmeg ¼ tsp allspice 1/8 tsp salt 1 egg 4 egg whites 1 ½ cups milk 1 ½ cups half-and-half

Combine sugar with the spices in a large bowl. Add the egg and egg whites and beat on high speed for 5 minutes.

Heat 1 cup of milk, stirring constantly, until it is steaming (not boiling). Slowly mix half of that into the egg mixture. Stir the egg mixture back into the hot milk in the pan. On medium heat, cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring constantly, until it is steaming again and thickened enough to thinly coat the back of the spoon. Do not boil it.

Remove from heat and stir it frequently as it cools for 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining milk and half-and-half. Cover and chill.
