Cookie Making Made Easy My Busy Mom Method By Chris Rawstern

In the early 1970s, when I was very young and with small children to care for, I had a few cookie recipes I would make very often, because they were simple recipes, with ingredients I usually had at hand. Cookies are a terrific snack, don?t require utensils to pick up and eat and can be made ahead for a party. However, even with all that, they are just not my favorite things to make, because they need to be made either by dropping individually onto the baking sheet, rolling out and cutting (making a mess on the counter and more cleanup), or the often added step of having to chill the dough before working. I like immediacy. I want to mix up a recipe, bake it, clean up and be done.

One morning I made a batch of these cookies, finally popped the last pan in the oven, and set the timer. Itching to get outside for a bit and see what the children were doing, I went out and got distracted. By the time I remembered the cookies in the oven, they had burnt and shrunken down to tiny little black hockey pucks - not even the dogs had any interest in them! It pays not to get distracted when baking. This was the last straw. I had to think of a better way.

I came up with a brilliant idea that I call my Busy-Mom-Method one I use to this day. Rather than take the time to make all the individual cookies by batches, with separate baking times (and time to get distracted), I would roll the cookie dough directly onto a greased baking sheet, working it evenly to the edges and baking it as one large cookie. It is best to use a baking sheet that has three open sides, as it is simpler to maneuver the rolling pin and get the cookie rolled evenly. Keep in mind also, that a little more flour may be needed in the dough to allow for lifting it out and forming into a rough rectangle for rolling. Also, a little extra flour over the surface while rolling helps to keep the rolling pin from sticking. Try not to add any more flour than absolutely necessary, or the cookies will come out denser and harder.

It takes a few minutes more in the oven with one large cookie, but it comes out perfectly. Just watch for the edges to be golden, and the center to be set. With these cookies, I also make a simple icing that is just 1 1/2 cups of confectioners sugar, a pinch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and enough water or milk to make a relatively thick consistency (very slow to fall from the spoon). Spread this over the hot cookie straight from the oven. The hot cookie warms the icing, making it melt and spread easily, using the back of the same spoon I used to mix the icing. I am all for less cleanup! Once the cookie cools, the icing dries and hardens, and I just cut the large cookie into small bar or square shapes, and voila, cookies in half the time. Two of my favorite recipes for this method were Hermits and Simple Vanilla Cookies. If you are a busy mom, try this method with any simple cookie dough. The Hermit cookies had raisins in them, but the thickness of the dough was no less than the thickness of the raisins, so it still worked well.
Simple Vanilla Cookies

Makes about 7 dozen

1 cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Cream butter, shortening and sugar. Add vanilla and salt. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in flour, mixing well. Drop from a teaspoon 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Flatten with floured, flat-bottomed glass. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove immediately from pan.

These Simple Vanilla Cookies are incredibly good, from such a simple recipe. Don't take my word - try them out, either as individual cookies, or with my busy-mom-method.

An American pancake is a thin layer of cake made from a batter and cooked on low heat in a pan from where it derives its name. American flapcakes can be served with various toppings made from sweet savories like bacon to simple fresh fruits and creams and syrups made from maple sap.

What is the difference between American flapcakes and other pancakes?

Pancakes are usually made from three main ingredients which are flour, eggs and milk. The batter is usually watery and the flapcake are like French crepes. The pancakes might also have dark spots in them which are air bubbles and are very tasty to eat.

American pancakes are also made from eggs, flour and milk. But they use baking powder to make the texture of the pancakes fluffy and soft. The batter used to make the American pancakes is thicker. Americans always eat pancakes for breakfast.

130 ml. milk

1 egg beaten to a fluffy mixture

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 pinch of salt

30 grams butter

Here is the actual process of preparing American pancakes.

In a large mixing bowl add the sifted flour with the sugar and salt.

In another bowl add the milk and the egg and mix them to a fluffy consistency.

Introduce the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and beat till there are no lumps in the pancake mixture. The best method is to gently fold in and then beat it up in one direction.

On a warm saucepan heat a small portion of the butter and let it warm on a low heat. The butter should not burn. Add a small quantity of the thick American pancakes batter and spread it in a round circle.

Do not make the pancakes thick. They should be around 1 cm in diameter. Slowly cook one side of the pancake till it's brown and flip the other side. You should not quicken the cooking process and the American flapcake should be lightly browned. If you do quicken it they would become dark brown and bitter.

The Making of Jellied Eels

There are a lot of popular foods you can find on the market in the UK, but one that has lost a lot of ground since the end of the Second World War is jellied eels. This was a dish that was so popular because the Thames was full of eels back then and it was very easy to make and it was able to feed a lot of people with a cheap meal at any time of day.

There were a lot of options you could find when it came to jellied eels and this was due to a lot of things people were able to try back then. The process was still the same, but the various ingredients they used in it made it taste different than the rest. In fact a few herbs and a few spices were enough to make it unique every time you put it in your mouth.

When people wanted to make jellied eels, they first gutted the fish and then they chopped it in round pieces. Then all of it was boiled and due to the collagen it released, the water would coagulate, forming a jelly. In order to be spiced up, people would use a lot of things and this is why there were more than one taste you could find when you ate it.

These days it is a lot harder to find such a dish since it is not as popular as it was in the past and now you are able to find a lot of other things like frozen prawns or other types of fish and sea food that are meant to serve as the base for an amazing dish. The room for a traditional taste is a lot narrower, but this does not mean you are not able to find it.

Even if frozen prawns or other sea food can be a lot more popular today, if you want to be sure you will still taste the eels made based on a recipe that has been passed on for generations, you need to be sure you turn to the best for it. If the local market does not have what you are looking for, you can use the web in order to find out more about it.

For instance, if you visit frozenfishdirect.co.uk, you will be able to check out a wide range of options. Anything from frozen prawns to lobster and a traditional taste of eels can now be delivered at your door in a lot less time than you can imagine. All you need to do is take all the time you need in order to check out the options you can go for and if you like what you see, you can place your order. This is where you will find the best quality in the sea food you buy.

Jellied eels are an old traditional recipe you could have found in London, but it is not nearly as popular as it was back then. Thanks to the work of a dedicated team that wants to keep it alive, you are now able to have the frozen prawns, fish and other sea food you may have in mind delivered at your door only if you place your order on the site named afore.

Variations on a Bread Making Theme

You know how sometimes even the best cook can get distracted and forget an ingredient? That happened to me once many years back, and I completely forgot to put in the 3 eggs called for in my bread recipe. I was so distracted that even when I had only added 7 cups of flour and the dough already looked too dry, I still didn't realize what was wrong. I made the bread, baked it and we were eating the first loaf. There was a difference in color that I wondered about. That was when I realized that I had utterly forgotten to add the eggs.

Things like this can happen to the best of us, but what I want to demonstrate with this story is that bread making is a forgiving art. Add a little more of this, a little less of that, and you still have a very good loaf of bread. After that episode of forgetfulness, I got thinking. I tried making the bread with only a half stick of butter and two eggs. It turned out great. I substituted 2 cups whole wheat flour for part of the flour and it was great. I wondered what other things I could do with this original recipe.

Remember that when making a substitution or using a different ingredient, the total amount of flour needed will vary. If substituting 2 cups of whole wheat flour, do this at the beginning of the recipe. This way, toward the end of adding flour, you will know that since whole wheat is a thirstier flour, you will likely need less than the full amount. This holds equally true with flax seed. I often mix 1 cup of ground flax seed into the original 2 cups of flour, mixed with the powdered milk and yeast and add it at the beginning. Flax seed soaks up liquid, so the ultimate amount of flour will be less by nearly a cup.

Another variation I use often is with oatmeal. When the boiled water is poured over the stick of butter, honey and salt, I add in a cup or so of old fashioned rolled oats to the hot liquid to soak. Once cooled enough, proceed with the recipe as stated, knowing you will need less flour than called for. Keep an eye on the texture of the dough, noting that if the dough starts trying to climb up the dough hook, it is more dry than needed. Softer dough will yield more tender bread.

If you like nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, they can be added either finely ground or coarsely chopped, as desired. The amount of flour should not vary widely with the addition of nuts. Use raisins the same way, for that variation. For cinnamon raisin bread, when patting out one loaf of dough, and prior to rolling up, brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon, or cinnamon and sugar. If raisins have not been added to the dough itself, they may be sprinkled on before rolling up the loaf.

If you choose a less sweet dough, lower the amount of honey by half, and add in another half cup of water, to keep the amount of dough approximately the same. If you want to use only egg whites instead of whole eggs, that is acceptable. If you have leftover egg yolks and need to use them, just yolks in the recipe will work fine. Either way, remember that slightly less liquid is being used, so either compensate by adding a little more water or a little less overall flour. Eggs, either whole or just the yolks give the bread a lovely golden color. If you want to increase the golden color even more, use saffron. Take a pinch of saffron and either grind to a fine powder or crumble finely and add to the boiling water at the beginning of the recipe. Alternatively, soak the saffron threads in the boiled water, then remove the threads before pouring into the mixer bowl.

If you want to make dinner rolls such as cloverleaf, one loaf of dough will yield a dozen rolls, made in greased muffin tins. Baking time is approximately 12 to 15 minutes. If you would like to make buns, one loaf will make about 6 to 8 buns. Divide one loaf worth of dough into the appropriate amount of equal sized pieces. Take one piece and make a nicely formed ball by tucking under repeatedly. Then either with hands or a rolling pin flatten the dough to an exaggeratedly wide and flat round. It may take some work. Lay these onto a greased baking sheet and allow it to rise. Bake for about 15 to 18 minutes.

These are some of the many ways to make changes and alterations. Get familiar with the dough and how it works and there is no limit to what can be done.

My Bread Making Tradition, My Mothers Recipe

By now I am sure you have read a lot about the theory of making good bread from scratch. Start with a recipe that I have been using for the last 40 years and enjoy your results. I had to learn to make bread at age 21, in a foreign country, without an oven. With all the modern conveniences today, bread making is a snap. It is my recommendation that it be made completely by hand at first so the look and feel of the dough becomes known. Later on, using a machine or mixer, you will understand better what you are seeing, and instinctively know how to correct, if things go awry.

My Mom's Bread Recipe

3 cups milk, scalded (just when tiny bubbles start forming at the edge of the pan)

1 stick unsalted butter

1/2 cup sugar

4 cups bread flour

2 - 3 teaspoons salt

2 packets Instant Rise or Rapid Rise yeast

3 eggs

4 cups more flour, or more, as needed

In a saucepan, scald the milk. Once the tiny bubbles begin, remove from the heat and put in the stick of butter and the sugar. Allow the milk to cool and the butter to melt or soften until a pinkie finger inserted into the milk will not feel hot. In a very large bowl, place the flour, salt and yeast and stir to combine. Add in the lukewarm milk mixture and stir with a wooden spoon. Add in the eggs, beating well after each addition. Begin adding in more flour, a cup at a time. Once it is too difficult to stir with the spoon, use hands and continue mixing. Once 7 1/2 cups of flour are incorporated, begin counting the 10 to 12 minutes of kneading time.

The bread may be turned out to be kneaded on a floured surface. This allows for two hands to be used, making it easier, but also

affords the possibility of adding too much more flour. The bread should be smooth and elastic after the kneading period. Adding too much flour will toughen the dough unnecessarily. Kneading is nothing more than manipulating the dough, by pushing it with the heels of the hands, flipping, rotating and pushing some more. If the dough is left in the bowl, there is no need for too much more flour to be added, but requires one hand to do all the kneading. Lift the dough, pulling and twisting, press back down, pull and twist and continue until the 10 to 12 minutes have elapsed. Set the bowl aside is a warm place to rise until about doubled in size.

Grease 4 medium loaf pans, about 4 x 8 inches. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently to remove the large air pockets. Divide the dough in 4 sections. Press one section flat; beginning at one end, roll the dough into a log, tucking ends and edges as necessary. Place into one of the prepared pans; repeat with the other three sections of dough. Set the pans aside to rise in a nice warm area of the kitchen. It will take 30 to 45 minutes. Just as the dough is above the edge of the pan height, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. When the oven is hot, put the pans in and time for 30 minutes.

The finished loaves should have a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom, once turned out of the pan. All ovens vary. If you have convection, I recommend using it, setting the oven at 325. Convection, which blows the heated air, bakes more quickly and efficiently. In my present oven, the bread takes 28 minutes to come out perfectly, and not too dry. Learn your oven.

It is best to wait until the bread is cool to slice, though the temptation to cut immediately is great. My Mom always cut the heel off, buttered it still steaming, and let us all have a bite. Complete nirvana. Do try this out. I guarantee the satisfaction is well worth the time. The loaves can easily be frozen until needed. Remember: this is homemade, with no preservatives. These loaves will not last a week on the counter. But then, one of these loaves rarely lasts a day or two.

The Making of Jellied Eels

Der er en masse popul?re f?devarer du kan finde p? markedet i Det Forenede Kongerige, men en, der har mistet en masse jorden siden slutningen af anden verdenskrig er gelatineret ?l. Dette var en sk?l, der var s? popul?re, fordi Themsen var fuld af ?l dengang og det var meget let at g?re og det var i stand til at br?df?de en masse mennesker med et billigt m?ltid p? ethvert tidspunkt af dagen.

Der var en masse af muligheder du kunne finde n?r det skete gelatineret ?l, og dette skyldtes en masse ting folk kunne pr?ve igen derefter. Processen var stadig den samme, men de forskellige ingredienser, de bruges i det gjorde det smager anderledes end resten. Faktisk var et par krydderurter og et par krydderier nok til at g?re det entydigt hver gang du s?tter det i din mund.

N?r folk har villet g?re gelatineret ?l, de f?rst renset fisk og derefter de hugget det i runde stykker. Derefter alle det var kogt, og p? grund af kollagen det udgivet, vandet ville koagulerer, danner en jelly. For at v?re krydret, folk ville bruge en masse ting, og derfor var der mere end én smag du kunne finde, n?r du spiste det.

Disse dage er det meget sv?rere at finde s?dan en sk?l, da det ikke er s? popul?r, som det var tidligere og nu du er i stand til at finde en masse andre ting som frosne rejer eller andre typer fisk og havet f?devarer, der er ment som base for en forbl?ffende sk?len. Plads til en traditionel smag er meget smallere, men det betyder ikke, du ikke er i stand til at finde den.

Selvom frosne rejer eller andre havet f?devarer kan v?re meget mere popul?re i dag, hvis du vil v?re sikker p? du vil stadig smage ?l p? basis af en opskrift, der er blevet g?et generationer, skal du v?re sikker p? Sl? du til bedst for den. Hvis det lokale marked ikke har hvad du s?ger, kan du bruge internettet for at finde ud af mere om den.

For eksempel, hvis du bes?ger frozenfishdirect.co.uk, vil du kunne checke en bred vifte af muligheder. Alt fra frosne rejer hummer og en traditionel smag af ?l kan nu leveres p? din d?r i meget mindre tid, end du kan forestille dig. Alt du skal g?re er, at tage al den tid du beh?ver for at checke indstillingerne, du kan g?, og hvis du kan lide hvad du ser, kan du placere din ordre. Dette er, hvor du vil finde den bedste kvalitet i havet mad du k?ber.

Gelatineret ?l er en gammel traditionel opskrift du kunne have fundet i London, men det er ikke n?r s? popul?re som det var dengang. Takket v?re en dedikeret team, der ?nsker at holde det i live, er du nu kunne have de frosne rejer, fisk og andre havet mad du kan have i tankerne leveret p? din d?r kun hvis du afgiver din ordre p? webstedet med navnet tabelprogram.
