Breakfast for 8? No problem – and lots easier to explain to the neighbors when it’s a breakfast dish for dinner or dessert. Pancakes made one by one? Forget it – the Finns devised a neat custard that takes all the toppings and delights as a slab. It’s the Finnish Oven Pancake: Pannu Kakku.
Who doesn’t like breakfast for dinner or dessert sometimes? The Finns came up with an oven pancake that takes all the toppings and feeds anywhere from two pancake-crazed lunatics to eight normal people. It’s Pannu Kakku!
Old bananas for old banana news – it seemed fitting and with delivery and abundance of this out-of-season fruit, maybe your bananas are aging and spotting. A surprise old recipe had me trying this again and again since it’s such an easy and pleasant cake to have in the Winter.
Jeers to AOL-owned SlashFood for reporting that the Tropical Race Four virus is wiping out Cavendish bananas three years after the fact. We know how hard it is to sift through food news to say something. In a strange attempt to relate a weekly recipe to the week’s news, how about the old answer to, “what do I do with old bananas?”
FN is beginning to network like mad and thanks to GMF, we got MD(D) cornered at her favorite restaurant to agree that by mentioning Food Newsie, you get ONE EXTRA goodie inside this box, for FREE — offers NOT “combinable.”
Spread the word! The generous, frank and cheerful Modern Domestic is at it again with a box of cookies for the holidays. Want something FREE? Mention Food Newsie – but first, read on into the post to see more…. In between planning the first annual DC State Fair, organizing the Board and Cheffing for SpilledMilk, Modern Domestic has found the time to cook some of her favorite cookies and make them tastefully available for $20 bucks. There’s a discount to be had out there, and now, there’s a free cookie to be had instead! Decisions, decisions…
Bring this to the table in the first of Food Newsie’s very few ideas for you to steal for Thanksgiving since we know that your worth this holiday is measured not by your enemies, but by what you bring, literally, to the table.
Thanksgiving – it’s about the United States of America; the country too cool to come up with a real name. They say that Thanksgiving is a time to take stock in all you’re thankful for – I say that’s ridiculous. Is Easter the only time to think bunnies are cute? Is Christmas the only time to be religious? Is your Mom only worth while one day out of the year? Hardly, hardly and hardly.
Cups-CAKES, that is. Any other cup size preference you’ve heard is just a myth, flatty. I’m not prone to grabbing a Hungry Girl cookbook that touts fast, easy, healthy recipes, but there one was on a girl’s dining room table. Expresso Cupcakes [sic] on page 88 seemed like something with a kick of coffee that would hit the spot most anytime. What came out of the initial efforts was a dark-brown Nerf tennis ball. Perhaps I could do better?
That’s actually the original recipe sitting next to the winning variation. This recipe is cooked in coffee mugs and come out just as pictured. The modifications are simple and give about an inch and-a-half of extra vertical cupcake-like substance….
It seems that no matter what was tried in the FoodNewsie Kitchen Lab, microwaved cupcakes are just spongy. Getting more cupcake for the effort is only a small consolation. These are indeed fast and easy treats for people looking for quality in niether the taste of chocolate nor coffee…
For about $15 bucks and 30 prep with 30 to cook and a willingness to get your hands mucky with bran, bread flour and yogurt, you can delight breakfast lovers and bread lovers alike with the easy recipe of Irish Soda Bread. You’ll still have enough ingredients left over to buy just yogurt a second time around and do it again even cheaper.
Irish Soda Bread can be served with syrup, butter and brown sugar to deliver crunch, flavor of breakfast and has enough stocky grains inside to power a day of hard work.
A bread for breakfast or tea? Sure! What they really want is Irish Soda Bread and they don’t even know it yet. It’s made without yeast, it rises moderately, it’s extremely easy to make completely by hand and it’s a whole lot like chewing super-thick oatmeal. With a consistency like…
