Come Through the Gate and into the Garden
All the wonderful things coming out of my kitchen
I made these rustic biscuits this morning for our breakfast using the old White Lily Flour recipe. I can’t get White Lily here but use King Arthur instead. It is a higher protein flour but the biscuits come out light as air. The secret, no matter the flour, is using a very light hand so that you don’t develop gluten. I have been using this basic recipe for years and modify it according to the ingredients that I have on hand. Today I used cream instead of milk. They are always delicious.
Made this club sandwich and fries for my husband tonight. He had a hard day at work and needed some happiness and what, I ask you, is better than toasted home-baked bread with bacon, turkey, ham, Swiss and Cheddar cheeses, iceberg lettuce and tomatoes? Lest I forget, the sandwich was slathered with Duke’s Real Mayonnaise, the only mayo he will eat. We need to order it because it is not available in Maine.
A pretty quiche Lorraine
I used a classic pate brisee recipe for the crust and just winged the filling using eggs, cream, milk, Emmentaler cheese, bacon and onion. Served with a green salad, this is one of my favorite meals!
