1 cup flour

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter or margarine

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 tbsp molasses

1 cup bran

1/4 cup raisins

1/4 cup chopped nuts

Combine buttermilk and soda and set aside.

Cream butter and brown sugar thoroughly. Add egg and beat well. Add buttermilk, then molasses and bran, and blend.

Combine flour and salt and stir into the bran mixture. Fold in fruit and nuts.

Spoon into a well-greased muffin pan and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until done.

I had these at the farmers market here in Stratford, and they are just sooooo good!

Apple Fritters
Allrecipes.com

Frying makes anything taste better, and it's easier than you'd ever imagine. So pour some oil, crank up the heat and prepare to churn out this flavorful dish.

Ingredients:
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sparkling apple cider
1 large egg, plus 2 large egg whites
3 apples (about 1 pound)peeled, cored and sliced into 1/4-inch rings
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Put the crunch back into leftovers

Nothing matches food fresh out of the fryer, but if you made more than you could polish off in one sitting, revive fried food by re-crisping it. Bring leftovers to room temperature (1 to 2 hours). Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, place the leftovers on a baking sheet on the center rack and bake for 4 to 5 minutes.

Directions:

1. Fill a large pot with enough oil to reach a depth of 2 inches and heat until it registers 375 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar and salt; form a well in the center of the mixture. Add 1/4 cup cider and the whole egg. Gradually stir the flour into the liquid to form a smooth paste. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup cider; let stand until thickened, 5 minutes. In a bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold into the batter.

2. Working in batches, dip the apple rings in the batter and fry until golden, about 3 minutes, allowing the oil temperature to return to 375 degrees between batches. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Dust with the confectioners' sugar and serve warm.

I also have a Jambalaya recipe that I concocted several years ago at a family gathering. I think there were 20 some people there, so the recipe as I've recorded it is rather large. (with nearly 7 lbs of meat!) I prefer it done this way, with the rice prepared separately, rather than cooking the rice with the rest of the dish, since if there are leftovers the rice absorbs all of the liquid, making the rice gluey and the rest of the dish dry. Also since several members of the group didn't want it too spicy, the amount of red pepper, cayenne pepper and tobasco were much less than I would otherwise have used, but adding tobasco after it is served works very well. JAMBALAYA 2 lb Chicken Breast (3/4" cubes) 1 lb Honey Ham (1/2" dice) 1 lb Hot-Italian Sausage (de-skinned and broken into pieces) 2/3 lb Andouille-style smoked sausage 2 lb uncooked shrimp (cleaned, de-shelled, and de-tailed, cut into thirds) 2 large sweet yellow onions chopped into 3/4" square pieces 2 red bell peppers (remove stems, seeds and membranes and cut into 1" by 1" pieces) 2 yellow bell peppers 4 cups of rice 2 large cans diced tomatoes 1 15 oz can tomato paste Olive oil 10 cloves garlic 2 tsp red pepper flakes 1/2 tsp black pepper blend (ground) 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 4 shakes Tobasco sauce 1 tsp thyme 1 tbsp chopped parsley In one large pan, cook onion in olive oil, add thyme and 3 cloves of garlic (chopped) until onion starts to turn translucent, then add bell peppers and cook another 10 minutes or so. In a different large pan, cook chicken and hot Italian sausage until both are lightly browned and mostly cooked. Empty both pans into large pot. Stir in tomatoes (including water from tomato cans) and the tomato paste. Bring to a low boil and reduce heat to a simmer and stir well. In the chicken pan, cook Andouille and ham over medium heat for 10 minutes, then add to large pot. Crush remaining garlic and other spices except parsley into large pot to suit taste. Cook rice separately while continuing to simmer large pot. When rice is done, remove large pot from heat and add shrimp stirring until it is cooked. Serve over rice, adding tobasco to taste, top with a pinch of parsley.

Haven't made these yet but every time I see a picture of them on Pinterest, I want one! Glazed Donut Muffins (Sweet Pea's Kitchen) For the Muffins: 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup milk For the Glaze: 3 tablespoons butter; melted 1 cup confectionersÃ¢ÂÂ sugar; sifted 3/4 teaspoon vanilla 2 tablespoons hot water Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with muffin liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter, vegetable oil, and sugars till smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time. With the mixer on low speed, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and vanilla until just combined. Stir the flour into the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour and mixing until just combined. Do not overmix! Spoon batter into cups, filling the cups, and smooth tops. Divide batter equally among prepared muffin cups. Bake until muffin tops are a pale golden and springy to the touch, 15 to 17 minutes, rotating halfway through baking time. Cool muffins in muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack and cool 10 minutes before glazing. To make the glaze, In a medium bowl mix together the melted butter, confectionersÃ¢ÂÂ sugar, vanilla and water. Whisk until smooth. When muffins have cooled slightly, dip the muffin crown into the glaze and allow the glaze to harden. Once hardened, dip a second time and allow to harden then serve.

I have been searching for easy recipes for things to bake for our annual Garden Club plant and bake sale which is coming up soon. I came upon this wonderful looking and sounding treat! I hate that I have to make all these decadent things but can not eat a bite! Peanut Butter Fudge Pie with Pretzel Crust Ingredients 3/4 cup crushed pretzel 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons sugar 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted 1 cup hot fudge sauce, plus extra for drizzling 3/4 cup sugar 1/3 cup cornstarch 1/2 cup peanut butter chips 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter 1 cup milk 1 cup heavy cream 3 egg yolks 2 tablespoons butter 1 tsp vanilla Instructions 1. Make the crust by stirring together the crushed pretzel, flour, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add in the melted butter and stir until combined. Press the crust mixture into a 9 inch pie pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool . 2. Pour 1 cup hot fudge sauce into the baked, cooled pie shell. Spread out to cover the bottom and smooth. Set aside. 3. Combine sugar, cornstarch, milk, cream, peanut butter chips, and peanut butter in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly ,until mixture begins to bubble. This will take several minutes. Once it bubbles continue stirring for 2 minutes. The mixture will begin to thicken. 4. Mix a little of the hot mixture into the egg yolks (do this part quickly), beating quickly to avoid cooking the yolks with the hot liquid. Stir the warm yolk mixture back into the remainder of the peanut butter mixture and cook for an additional 90 seconds. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla and continue stirring until butter is melted and mixture is smooth. 5. Pour peanut butter custard into the pie shell over the fudge sauce. Allow mixture to cool for 30 minutes before putting it in the refrigerator to finish cooling. Let it cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. 6. Extra fudge sauce can be drizzled over the top for decorating. Add some more crushed pretzel and a little shaved chocolate if desired. Just wait until the peanut butter custard cools before adding the drizzles and toppings otherwise you'll end up with puddles of chocolate.

Better late than never, I suppose. This is supposed to be the "secret family recipe" according to my sister. But I googled it once and found it several places. I don't know why the big secret. The fun of cooking is sharing the recipe! This is not your granny's party mix!

CHEX MIX

1 box wheat chex
1 box rice chex
1 package extra thin pretzel sticks, broken into thirds
2 lbs. mixed nuts
3 sticks margarine or butter
1 Tbsp. beau monde
1 tsp. summer savory
1 Tbsp. hickory salt
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. marjoram
1-1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

Preheat oven to 250Ã¯Â¿Â½ F.

Layer cereal, pretzels and nuts. Dot with 1-1/2 sticks butter. Mix spices together and set aside.

Bake at 250 degrees, turning every 15 minutes for one hour. After the first 15 minutes add the spices as you stir the cereal mix. The spices stick better this way than if you add them at the beginning. At 1/2 hour, dot with remaining 1-1/2 sticks butter and stir well.

You can add or exchange different cereals depending on your taste. I use a large disposable turkey roaster pan to make this.
