Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp fine ground cornmeal
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk (or I used 1 3/4 cups of milk mixed with 2 tablespoons of vinegar -- left standing for 5-10 minutes)
  • pinch cream of tartar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the waffle maker.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar, sea salt, and baking soda together.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and melted butter. Then add the buttermilk to that mixture.
  • In a third bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  • Pour the buttermilk mixture into the large bowl with dry ingredients, and gently whisk until just incorporated (some lumps should remain). Then fold the whipped egg whites into the batter.
  • Spray the waffle maker with cooking spray to keep waffles from sticking.
  • Pour the prepared batter onto the waffle maker and cook through, about 3 minutes per waffle. (I use a measuring cup to measure out 1 cup of batter at a time and then pour it over the waffle maker) *You can keep waffles warm in a 200-degree oven or serve one at a time.

You could enjoy this peanut butter syrup with so many foods! Of course, it’s great drizzled over ice cream, but you could also have it with pancakes, waffles, and even biscuits. You could also drizzle it over the whipped cream that tops your morning or afternoon coffee. Yum! πŸ™‚

How to Make a Delicious 100 Year Old Apple Roll Recipe

by Leave a Comment


Today, I’m going to show you how to make a delicious 100-year-old apple roll recipe from the very old American Cookery Cookbook. I wasn’t sure how the apple roll would turn out but it was fantastic! We didn’t have any leftovers for the next day. πŸ™‚

When it comes to the taste of the apple roll, it’s very similar to apple pie but this recipe is a lot easier and less time consuming than a traditional apple pie recipe.

I also think it’s a great recipe if you want to make a dessert similar to apple pie but not spend all the time and effort it would take to make a pie. I’ll definitely be making this recipe again, and I hope you’ll let me know if you try it, too.

How to Make a Delicious 100-Year-Old Apple Roll Recipe

As I mentioned, the original recipe, which I tried to follow as closely as I could, is 100-years-old and comes from the American Cookery Cookbook which is found online and free to use.

I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Awesome Recipe: Pumpkin Bread - delicious fall flavor!

Pumpkin bread.

It’s delicious. And I’m happy to say that I finally have a pumpkin bread recipe that everyone in my family loves – even the picky ones. πŸ™‚

This pumpkin bread is delicious with a drizzle of pumpkin spice glaze over the top. It’s so good served that way! You could also simply sprinkle a little powdered sugar over it.

That works, too.

Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1-1/4 cups pumpkin puree, canned or fresh
  • 8 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a loaf pan with oil or nonstick cooking spray. (I used coconut oil.)
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and eggs. Then, one at a time, add the pumpkin, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture after each ingredient is added.
  4. Using a spatula, pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture, and stir just until combined.
  5. Pour the pumpkin batter into the loaf pan. Spread the batter evenly using the spatula. Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes. Then remove from the oven and cool for about 15 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with pumpkin spice glaze (recipe below).
