  • 2 whole lemons, zested & squeezed
  • 2-1/4 cups milk
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/4 cup melted butter

  2. Mix dry ingredients in mixing bowl.
  3. Add soured milk and vanilla, stirring gently, until partly combined.

  5. All lemon zest.
  6. Adjust with milk or flour to desired consistency.

This originally was a Pioneer Woman recipe. What I particularly liked about it was combining buttermilk pancakes with lemon pancakes by using the common substitute of souring milk with lemon juice to replace butter milk.

Turkey Stock

Turkey stock is nice for making gravy. The turkey parts can partially come from a turkey purchased for a meal, especially if you are spatch-cocking the turkey, but around Thanksgiving it is also often possible to buy some of those scrap parts separately from a bird at grocery stores. I use the scraps I get from my turkey combined with some extra scraps or wings.

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds turkey parts (necks, backs, wings, etc)
  • 1 large onion, quartered or eighthed
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and chopped into 2″ pieces
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped into 2-3″ pieces
  • 4 sprigs fresh parsley
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 16 whole peppercorns
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 quarts of water

Directions

  1. Roast turkey parts at 450°F for 45 minutes.
  2. De-glaze roasting pan with 1-2C water
  3. Place turkey parts, vegetables and herbs, de-glazing liquid and remaining 10-11C water into a stock pot (or dutch oven).
  4. Simmer for 4 hours.
  5. The goal is to reduce by one third to one half, but that can be hard to tell while in pot with solids.
  6. Remove easy to grip solids.
  7. Pour remainder through a fine mesh strainer into a new bowl.
  8. If more than 7 cups remain, place liquid back in pot to reduce down to around 6 cups.


Crock-pot Mac & Cheese


Ingredients

  • 4 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 8 tbsp (one stick) unsalted butter
  • 5 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans Campbell’s cheddar cheese soup (or equivalent brand).
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Directions

  1. Boil the macaroni in water for six minutes. You definitely want it to be on the firm side. Drain.
  2. In crock pot, combine sour cream, cheddar soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper, mix. Add cheese, butter, and the drained macaroni and stir again.
  3. At this point it can be refrigerated until 3 hours before it should be served.
  4. Cook on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Instant Tapioca



Ingredients

  • 3 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup instant tapioca
  • pinch salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla

Directions

  1. First, mix milk, sugar, salt, and tapioca in pan on Medium High. Bring to boil, wait another 7 minutes.
  2. Reduce to simmer. Temper eggs with 1 cup of tapioca mixture.  Add back to pan.  Wait 5 minutes or until thickening (don’t wait until final desired thickness is reached because it will thicken more), add vanilla.  
  3. Let cool until it doesn’t burn your, or serve cold.
