Basic Recipes

These are pretty basic recipes, but it took me a while to find ones that were just right.

Cornbread

• 1 1/2 Cups Flour


• 1 Cup Sugar


• 3/4 Cup Cornmeal


• 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder


• 1/2 teaspoon Salt


• 2 Eggs


• 1/2 Cup Margarine (1 stick)


• 1 Cup Milk

Mix together flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Add eggs, margarine and 1/2 cup of milk. Beat on low speed until blended. Add remaining 1/2 cup milk. Beat on low speed until blended.
Spoon into foil baking cups. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.


Pancakes

• 1 Cup Flour


• 1 Tablespoon Sugar


• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder


• 1/4 teaspoon Salt


• 1 Egg


• 1 Cup Milk


• 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil

Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add egg, milk and oil. Mix on low speed until blended. Let batter rest for a few minutes before cooking pancakes. If your family is anything like mine, you will want to double this recipe!

Potato Pancakes

• 2 Cups Mashed Potatoes


• 1/2 Cup Flour


• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder


• 1/2 teaspoon Salt


• 1 Egg


• 2 Tablespoons Milk


• 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil

Just mix the ingredients together! If batter is too thick add more milk. If it is too thin add a little extra flour. Cook on a griddle just like pancakes. They taste so good with gravy. (I am still experimenting with this recipe, so let me know how it works for you).


Drop Biscuits

• 2 Cups Flour


• 3 teaspoons Baking Powder


• 1 teaspoon Salt


• 1 teaspoon Sugar


• 3/4 Cup Milk


• 1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil


• 1 Egg

Mix together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add milk, oil and egg. Hand mix until dough is formed. Drop onto greased pan. I use a Pampered Chef Large Round Stone from their stoneware collection. It helps biscuits and cookies cook evenly without burning on the bottom.
Bake at 450 degrees 12-15 minutes.
