Whole-Grain Berry Pancakes

DSC_0747-001

These were good, and as a food snob, I was hesitant to try a recipe from Good Housekeeping magazine. However, they were probably a 7.5 easily.  First, these are an oatmeal pancake. Secondly, they have no sugar in them, so this was a great way to get a low-sugar breakfast that feels more indulgent than it actually is. We had to triple the recipe and it was perfect to feed my family. We also served them with cream, which I think is a must. I put my changes below in bold.

 

  • 1/4 c. old-fashioned oats We used quick cooking
  • 3/4 c. buttermilk
  • 1/2 c. white whole wheat flour We used 100% whole wheat
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice I didn’t have this, so for the triple batch I just did 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. ginger, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg and 1/4 tsp. cloves
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp. canola oil
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • Walnuts, for serving We used pecans
  • Berries, for serving
  • Pureed raspberries, for serving We also put whipped cream on the side

Essentially, you soak the oats in the buttermilk for about 30 minutes and then add the other wet ingredients. You combine the dry ingredients and then stir them both together, making sure to stir only until the flour is combined.

    Use a bit more buttermilk, decrease vanilla or use Watkins so it isn't so strong. These are also good with bananas.

Sourdough, version 4, aka version Mel

By -
Image
This is my personal favorite.—it is a combination of the sourdough recipe from Nancy Beykirch with the Tartine method. It is sour but the texture is also great. Leaven: 1/2 cup sourdough starter 1/2 cup water 2/3 cups bread flour Combine ingredients and let sit 12 hours. Then, combine the leaven (mine was about 290 grams) 860 grams white flour 100 grams wheat flour 700 grams water 22 grams salt You mix this then let it sit for 40 minutes. Then, you put it in a big bowl and let it rise for 5 hours. For the first 2-3 hours, turn in every 30 minutes where you pull the dough to the opposite side, rotate the bowl by 4ths, do the same thing. Then, you put it on a floured surface. This dough is sticky, so you might need a good deal of flour. divide and shape into 2 loaves, then let sit 30 minutes. Then, kind of reshape them and put them in a pot. Let them rise for 3 hours. Then, score them. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes, then lid off the dutch oven for the final 20 minutes.

Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread

  So, my Grandma Goodsell is the one who instilled a love of bread making in me. I owe a lot to her guidance when I was a kid. We finally tracked down her recipe after we thought it was lost all those years ago, and I made it yesterday. I give it a 9, but that’s probably a lot of nostalgia. Either way, it is a very, very solid bread recipe. I put my changes below in bold. Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread Mix 2 ½ T yeast and 1 T sugar in 1 C water, and let set for 10 minutes. I used instant yeast, so I decreased this to 5 tsp. of yeast 3 C milk 2 C water ½ C honey ½ C shortening 2 T salt 2 T molasses 5 ½ C whole wheat flour 7 ½ C white flour I also added 2 heaping spoonfuls of wheat gluten Combine milk, honey, shortening, salt, and molasses in a saucepan and heat until shortening melts. Stir in 2 Cups cold water and combine with yeast mixture. Pour mixture into mixing bowl and add flours one cup at a time alternating between white and wheat (1 C white, 1 C wheat, 1 C white, ...

Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs

Oh, how I love me a pressure cooker that cuts down on dishes and produces the exact same results. This is good because it's pasta and meatballs. I would have to really be coerced to make it any other way again because this is just SO easy. My one complaint is that it was very rich in tomato flavor because it calls for twice as much sauce as when I make it the traditional way. I think I might increase the water and use less sauce next time. Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey I just did my own meatballs already premade 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, finely minced) I just did my own meatballs already premade Salt and pepper 16 ounces uncooked spaghetti noodles (see note) I think our spaghetti is almost 18 oz 1 teaspoon dried basil I used fresh 40 ounces jarred spaghetti/marinara sauce (see note) I did 2 Trader Joe's vodka sauces that are 25 oz. each 3 1/2 cups water Freshly grated Parmesan and ...
