{OT}Help - Recipes wanted
I have some blueberries and I want to make 'something' to take to my
FIL & MIL's 60th wedding anniversary 'do'. It needs to be something I can make in advance (i.e. can be frozen until required date), and it needs to be something that will 'travel' well as the 'do' is a couple of hours drive from where I live.........so what do you suggest ? Those of you who are culinary genius's please note I can burn boiled eggs so nothing too complicated. ;-) -- Shirley http://community.webshots.com/user/shirleycatuk |

Those of you who are culinary genius's please note I can burn boiled eggs so nothing too complicated. ;-) My good friend, Margaret, makes this and it's wonderful! Blueberry Buckle Filling: 2 c. all-purpose flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 3/4 c. sugar 1/4 c. (half a stick) unsalted butter 1 large egg 1/2 c. milk grated rind of one lemon 2 c. fresh blueberries Topping: 1/4 c. unsalted butter 1/2 c. all-purpose flour 1/2 c. sugar 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, cream together (smush together heheh) the butter and sugar. Add the egg and the lemon rind. Add the flour mixture for the filling and milk, alternately. The dough may be stiff and you may need to add a little more milk to make a smooth batter. Stir in the blueberries. Spread this mixture in a lightly buttered 13"x9" baking pan. Topping: Blend together the topping ingredients and sprinkle over the blueberry batter. Bake in a preheated 375F oven on the middle rack, 30-35 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the middle; it's done when the toothpick comes out dry. Let cool. Blueberry Buckle freezes nicely. Thaw and gently reheat to warm in a low temp oven. Nice served with vanilla with ice cream. You might also consider something like a "blueberry shortcake" (you can buy those individual angel-food shortcake rounds at most grocery stores). I know you can freeze fresh blueberries, you'd still need about 2 cups. Then create a warm sauce with cream, butter, sugar and blueberries gently heated on the stove and poured into the "shortcakes". Sorry, I don't have measurements for this... it's been years since I did something along these lines. Jill |

Blueberries sound delicious right now! Guess nobody grows them here. I've never had or seen fresh, local ones. Being NOT the culinary genius that I am, we like cherry cheesecake but substitute blueberry filling. Sherry |

That way they'd both be easily frozen and travel well. Here's the section with blueberry muffins: http://www.recipesource.com/baked-go...ns/index4.html Please note, I have *not* tried the recipes on that site, I usually just look at recipes for inspiration. -- Christine in Vantaa, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/chkr63 |

oups.com... Those of you who are culinary genius's please note I can burn boiled eggs so nothing too complicated. ;-) Here are two recipes that are easy and very popular at my work place. Turtles Regular brownie mix w/ ingredients for fudge-like brownies. Mix batter and drop into a greased mini-muffin pan about 3/4 full. Bake at 325 degrees for about 15 minutes. Right after you take them out of the oven use something (I use the handle of an ice cream scoop) to press down the centers. Let cool. Mix a package of caramels with about 3-4 tablespoons of milk (I don't measure, I just poor in a little) in a microwavable bowl. I set the microwave for 90 seconds, but stop it every 15 to stir. It usually doesn't take that long. Drop caramel into brownie cups (this is the two spoon drop technique for me - but you may be a little more coordinated and can do it with one), and top with pecans. No Bake Cookies In a large sauce pan mix the following ingredients together. Bring to boil stirring regularly. Boiling for 2 and 1/2 minutes stirring continuously. 1/2 cup margarine 2 cups sugar 2/3 cup cocoa 1/2 cup milk Remove from heat and stir in the following ingredients. 2 tsp. vanilla 2/3 cup peanut butter 2 cups oat meal Stir and spoon mixture on wax paper. Makes two dozen cookies. |
