SCALLOPED RED POTATOES

I washed a bunch of very small red potatoes and tossed them in olive oil and minced garlic and some freshly ground pepper.  Put them in the oven at about 375 until they were almost tender.

Then took them out of the oven and cooled a bit, before slicing each potato into three pieces.  I crumbled up a small sleeve of saltines and tossed them in with the potatoes, and then poured some half and half over the whole thing, sprinkled some parmesan cheese on top, and put back into the oven for about 20 or 25 minutes.    About halfway through I realized that they would be too dry, so I poured some more half and half over the whole  thing, sprinkled more parm cheese and returned to oven.

Next time, I would add some pats of butter.  THEY ARE VERY TASTY!!!

Blueberry Coffee Cake (Bisquick)


For the cake:
2 ½ cups biscuit mix (like Bisquick)
½ cup sugar
1 cup blueberries
½ cup sour cream
2 eggs
3 tbsp. milk
½ tsp. vanilla extract

Crumb Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
4 tbsp. butter (cut into small cubes)

Preheat oven to 350F degrees (I actually used 340 degrees)

Spray 9x13 baking dish  with nonstick cooking spray (I like the kind that has flour in it)
I do not have a 9 by 13 pan so I used one loaf pan and an eight inch square pan

In a medium bowl combine biscuit mix and sugar.  Add sour cream (I used strawberry yogurt), eggs, milk and vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Batter will be very thick.  Gently stir in blueberries by hand. This will take a few minutes because batter is thick.

Scoop batter into prepared baking dish and make sure it is evenly spread.

I used all of the crumb topping on one pan and on the other I just put on a bunch
of brown sugar.  The Brown sugar batch was better.

Baked Custard


Easy baked custard with nutmeg.

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • nutmeg  (I substituted cinnamon)

Preparation:

Beat together milk, eggs, salt, and sugar. Pour into custard cups; place cups in a pan with hot water nearly to top of custard line. Sprinkle each with nutmeg and bake at 325° for about 40 to 55 minutes, until custard is set. This really depends on depth of the baking dish. A knife inserted in center should come out clean. Makes 4 to 6, depending on size.  I

I made this at work the other day. I really need to start bringing a camera.

This turns out sort of a cross between a buckle and a pie. Soooo Goooood

I called this coffee cake and served it for breakfast..........it was a too moist, but I am not sure that leaving it in the oven longer would be a good thing.  It was very good.......just kinda mushy.  If I make this again, I will put the struesel mixture on the top instead of the middle, but I doubt if I will make it again even though I LOVE bisquick!

    RHUBARB and DUMPLINGS..........YUMM-O



    Rhubarb and Dumplings





    SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 2012
    .


          2 Tbsp. butter
           1/2 cup sugar
            2 cups fresh rhubarb, diced
            Dash of salt
             1/2 tsp. cinnamon
              1 1/2 cups boiling water
    .
         Combine all the sauce ingredients in a saucepan or heavy skillet               with a lid. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for five    minutes.
          I DOUBLED the ingredients for the sauce, and just before the five     minutes of simmering, I stirred in about a half cup of strawberry/rhubarb preserves.  
    .
            I used Bisquick and followed the recipe on the box, but added a bit of sugar.  :I dropped the dumplings on top of the simmering sauce    and continued to simmer UNCOVERED for five minutes and then put the top on the pan and simmered for fifteen minutes.  Let cool a bit before serving.  
    .

    This turned out absolutely scrumptious!  Its all I had for supper (with a huge glass of milk).
