Sweet Blueberry Biscuits

by Rebecca August 19, 2022
written by Rebecca

These sweet blueberry biscuits are bursting with fresh blueberries. Great for breakfast, afternoon snack, or even for entertaining. These are wonderful and heavenly, and they smell amazing! Easily whip these luscious sweet blueberry biscuits at home at any time.

Ingredients

Biscuits:

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter – Very Cold

2 tablespoons sugar

2 c. all-purpose flour

3/4 c. buttermilk

1 teaspoon Salt

4 tablespoons salted butter – melted

1 c. fresh blueberries (could use frozen)

Glaze:

1-2 tsp Lemon Juice

1 c. Powdered Sugar

1 tbsp Milk

1 tsp of Lemon Zest (optional)

How to make Sweet Blueberry Biscuits

Step 1: Into small chunks, cut the butter and put them in the freezer.

Step 2: Using butter, grease a cast-iron skillet or baking sheet. Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 475 degrees F.

Step 3: To make the glaze, whisk the glaze ingredients in a bowl until well blended and set aside.

Step 4: Using a whisk, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Then, cut in the chilled butter using your hands, pastry cutter, or fork until it is about pea-size.

Step 5: To the flour mixture, gradually add the buttermilk until the dough separates from the sides of the bowl. Mix well until just combined. Onto a floured work surface, transfer the dough.

Step 6: Sprinkle flour on top of the dough. Press/roll the dough using your hands or a rolling pin to about half an inch thickness.

Step 7: Over the dough, place the blueberries and fold them over onto themselves, pushing them down, folding them again, and then pushing them down once more. Fold it again and flatten the dough to about 1-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch or 2 1/2 biscuit cutter or a glass, cut the dough into biscuits.

Step 8: In the prepared cast-iron skillet, place the biscuits, ensuring they are touching. Do the same if using a baking tray. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes. Take the biscuits out at about 6 to 8 minutes and generously brush each biscuit with the melted salted butter. Make sure to brush the tops and any exposed sides of the biscuits. Return the biscuits to the oven and resume baking until the tops of the biscuits turned light brown and the blueberries burst.

Step 9: Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Over the biscuits, drizzle or pour the glaze. Serve the biscuits immediately. Enjoy!

Notes:

The butter should be very cold. Place them in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.

Here is the recipe for a plain glaze (whisk them together): 3 tbsp milk (or more), half tsp vanilla, and 1 c powdered sugar.

In an airtight container, keep any leftover biscuits.

Heaven on Earth Cake A.K.A. Cherry Angel Trifle

by Rebecca August 18, 2022
written by Rebecca

Active: 20 mins | Inactive: 3+ hrs | Serves: 8

This is truly a heaven-on-earth cake! It’s an amazing treat that is perfect any time of the year. A light, decadent cake made with Angel food cake, Instant vanilla pudding, Greek yoghurt, frozen whipped topping, and a can of cherry pie filling. Almond slivers are optional for garnish, but highly recommended. Simply layer the ingredients in a baking dish beginning with a layer of cubed cake followed by a hearty layer of frozen whipped topping. Repeat the layers and top with the optional topping. Chill this decadent dessert in the fridge for a few hours and serve. Although, this heaven or earth cake is better the next day. Thus, I recommend letting this dessert sit in the fridge for a day or two.

INGREDIENTS

1 c. plain Greek yoghurt

1 (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix

1 1/2 c. milk

1-2 store-bought angel food cakes, or homemade

1 (21 ounces) can of cherry pie filling, divided

almond slivers, garnish, as needed (toasted, optional)

1 (8 ounces) container of frozen whipped topping, thawed

How to make Heaven on Earth Cake A.K.A. Cherry Angel Trifle

Step 1: Into bite-sized pieces, cube the angel food cake.

Step 2: Place the pudding mix and cold milk in a large bowl. Mix well until combined. Add the Greek yogurt and fold until smooth and blended.

Step 3: In a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, spread half of the cake cubes into an even layer and top with 2/3 of the cherry pie filling. On top of the filling, add the rest of the cake cubes. Pour the pudding mixture and gently spread it into an even layer.

Step 4: Over the pudding layer, spread the frozen whipped topping using an offset spatula. On top, drizzle the rest of the cherry pie filling and sprinkle with slivered almonds.

Step 5: In the fridge, place the dish and allow it to set for 3 hours or so up to overnight.

Pennsylvania Dutch Funny Cake

by Rebecca August 18, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep time: 20 mins | Cook time: 50 mins | Inactive: 40 mins | Yield: 1 9-inch pie

This Pennsylvania Dutch Funny Cake is an amazing dessert that is almost like a pie and a yellow cake and a lava cake combined. To make this even easier, we use a ready-made frozen pie crust. But you are welcome to make your own. It all starts with a chocolate layer that remains slightly gooey when baked. The second layer is a yellow cake that instantly gives this dessert a classic flavor. When baked, this creates the most scrumptious texture. Cakey yet still flaky like a pie crust. And inside is a luscious lava-like syrup surprise!

INGREDIENTS

1 egg

1 c. sugar, divided

1 (9”) unbaked pie shell

3/4 c. milk, divided

1 tsp baking powder

1/8 tsp salt

1/8 c. unsalted butter, softened

How to make Pennsylvania Dutch Funny Cake

Step 2: In a saucepan, heat 3/8 c milk over medium heat. Add half c. sugar and 1/4 c cocoa. Stir well and bring everything to a boil. Cook for about 2 minutes until the mixture has thickened, stirring continuously.

Step 3: Into the unbaked pastry shell, pour the cocoa mixture. For the chocolate mix to come up the sides halfway, turn the pie. Set aside.

Step 4: Place the flour, baking powder, remaining sugar, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Mix well until combined. Then, add the egg, butter, the rest of the milk, and vanilla. Beat well until the batter is smooth.

Step 5: Into the pie shell, spoon the batter, making sure the chocolate is completely covered.

Step 6: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

INDIAN FRY BREAD

by Rebecca August 18, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook Time: 3 mins | Total Time: 23 mins | Servings: 6

Easy, delicious, and healthy. This traditional Native American delicacy, Indian Fry Bread is a great dessert made with bread, topped with hamburger, lettuce, and sour cream. You can serve these Indian Fry Bread with honey and powdered sugar or simply enjoy them by themselves.

Ingredients

Bread:

3 teaspoon baking powder

2 c. of flour

1 c. of warm water

¾ teaspoon salt

Topping:

1 pound hamburger

Sour cream

Lettuce

Tomatoes

2 c. of pinto beans soaked overnight

HOW TO MAKE INDIAN FRY BREAD

Bread:

Step 1: Place the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix well and pour into the warm water. Using your hands, mix well until it forms. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before breaking the dough into small balls.

Step 2: Into half-inch, thick circles that are around 6-inches in diameter, roll the dough.

Step 3: In a medium saucepan, heat the oil. Once hot, add the dough ball and fry until all sides are golden. Transfer to a paper towel when done and set aside.

Topping:

Step 4: Place the soaked beans in a crockpot and cover them with water. Set to cook for 4 to 6 hours on low until tender. Add about 2 to 3 slices of chopped bacon to the crockpot 2 hours before the beans are done.

Step 5: In the meantime, cook 1 pound of hamburger.

Step 6: Add the hamburger to the cooked beans, then spread them on top of your desired toppings.

Step 7: Serve the Indian Fry Bread immediately. Enjoy!

Tips:

I do not recommend frying the fry bread ahead. They are best to serve right out of the fryer.

If desired, you can make the dough in advance. Simply store them in a plastic wrap and tightly cover them. Keep them in the fridge overnight. When ready to use, let the dough sit on the counter, then proceed with the recipe.

Step 4: Place the soaked beans in a crockpot and cover them with water. Set to cook for 4 to 6 hours on low until tender. Add about 2 to 3 slices of chopped bacon to the crockpot 2 hours before the beans are done.

Step 5: In the meantime, cook 1 pound of hamburger.

Step 6: Add the hamburger to the cooked beans, then spread them on top of your desired toppings.

Step 7: Serve the Indian Fry Bread immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

I do not recommend frying the fry bread ahead. They are best to serve right out of the fryer. If desired, you can make the dough in advance. Simply store them in a plastic wrap and tightly cover them. Keep them in the fridge overnight. When ready to use, let the dough sit on the counter, then proceed with the recipe.

BIG APPLE FRITTERS

by Rebecca August 18, 2022
written by Rebecca

This is the best homemade apple fritter recipe! They are glazed perfectly, delicious, and super easy to whip up. Nothing beats freshly made warm apple fritters!

INGREDIENTS

APPLE FRITTERS:

2 eggs

1/4 c. sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

3 tbsp applesauce

1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

1/3 c. milk

2 large Granny Smith or Honey Crisp apples, peeled, cored, and diced

Canola oil for frying

1/2 teaspoon salt

GLAZE:

1/4 c. milk

1/2 tsp vanilla

2 c. confectioners’ sugar

HOW TO MAKE BIG APPLE FRITTERS

Step 1: On baking sheets covered in wax paper, place a cooling rack and set aside.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, place the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well until combined. In the center, make a well and add 1/3 c. milk, eggs, and applesauce. Stir well until just mixed. Lastly, fold in the apples.

Step 3: In a heavy cast-iron skillet, heat 1 ½ – 2 inches of oil to 375 degrees F. You can also a Dutch oven or deep fryer. Once the oil is hot, drop about 1/4 c. batter per fritter, making sure to spread them out. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 3: Transfer the fritters to paper towels to drain.

Step 4: To make the glaze, place 1/4 cup milk, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Mix well until combined.

Step 5: In the glaze, dunk each fritter, turning the fritters over to coat both sides. To wire racks, place the coated fritters to air dry and drip.

NOTES:

DO NOT over-mix the better as it’ll make the fritters tough.

To evenly cook the fritters, make sure not to overcrowd the pan.

To maintain the correct temperature of the oil, use a candy thermometer.

Using a cast-iron or Dutch oven helps the oil hold the temperature.

Loosely wrap the cooled fritters in paper towels and keep them in a brown paper bag.
