  1. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the sugar. Beat the eggs, add them to the milk, and beat again, then use this to moisten the dry mixture, adding the liquid gradually and beating thoroughly so as to eliminate any lumps. Finally stir in the melted butter or other shortening and bake golden brown on a preheated griddle, greasing or not according to the type of griddle used.

Instructions
  1. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a large bowl mix together all the ingredients for the filling.
  2. To make the pastry, put the flour in a large bowl, then put the lard and water into a small pan and heat gently until the lard melts. Bring just to the boil and then stir into the flour using a wooden spoon. When the mixture is cool enough to handle, (it should still feel very warm) knead well until smooth.
  3. Cut off 1/4 of the dough, wrap in cling film and reserve for the lid. Roll out the remaining dough to a circle and then place in the base of a non-stick 20cm springform cake tin. Working quickly while the dough is warm and pliable, press the dough evenly over the base and up the sides of the tin. Make sure there are no holes. Fill with the meat mixture and pack down well. Roll out the dough for the lid. Place on top of the pie. Pinch all around the edge to seal the pie. Make a hole for steam in the centre, using the handle of a wooden spoon.
  4. Cook in the oven for 30 mins then reduce the heat to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and cook for 90 minutes. Brush the top with beaten egg and return to the oven for a further 20 mins. Leave until cold.
  5. Heat the stock until almost boiling. Remove from the heat and stir in the gelatin. Leave to cool to room temperature.
  6. Use a small funnel to pour the stock into the pie through the hole in the top. Pour in a little at a time allowing a few seconds before each addition. Place in the fridge to set overnight.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 9-inch cake rounds. Dust with flour and tap out the excess.
  2. Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a stand mixer using a low speed until combined.
  3. Add eggs, buttermilk, warm water, oil, and vanilla. Beat on a medium speed until smooth. This should take just a couple of minutes.
  4. Divide batter among the three pans. I found that it took just over 3 cups of the batter to divide it evenly.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool on wire racks for 15 minutes and then turn out the cakes onto the racks and allow to cool completely.
  7. Frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
Recipe Notes

They recommend a chocolate cream cheese buttercream frosting, but I initially used a white cloud frosting, a whipped honey buttercream, and a whipped chocolate buttercream on small, individual cakes.  I really liked the white cloud, which cake I also added a small layer of orange marmalade between layers.  Steve really like the whipped chocolate buttercream, and I also thought it was really amazing.  We both like the whipped honey buttercream as well, but it was sort of beaten out by the other two, but it's still amazing. The link to the original recipe with frosting is here:  https://thestayathomechef.com/the-most-amazing-chocolate-cake/

I like to make these as cupcakes - you should get about 50 cupcakes. 

You can also make this gluten-free!  I substituted the flour for Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Baking Mix, so you have a 1:1 ratio to replace the flour, and substitute plain fat-free Greek yogurt for the buttermilk.  The only way you can tell the difference between the cakes with gluten or without gluten is if you have eaten them both.  it does turn out amazing!

To make it even better, I recommend filling the cupcakes with my Bourbon Salted Caramel Sauce, and frosting with my Whipped Chocolate Buttercream.  Enjoy!

Instructions
  1. In a the bowl of an electric stand mixer, fitted with whisk attachment whisk butter and sugar on medium-high speed until very pale and fluffy or about five minutes.
  2. Be sure to stop at least once and scrape the bowl.
  3. With the mixer off, add in cocoa powder, vanilla and salt.
  4. Turn mixer on low and blend for about 30 seconds.
  5. One tablespoon at a time add in heavy cream.
  6. Once all cream has been added and mixture is mostly combined, turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  7. Now turn the mixer onto medium-high to high and whisk for 3-5 minutes or until mixture is lighter and fluffier. The frosting will be shiny and seem to have many large air bubbles throughout and this is exactly what we are going for. (You can smooth those out on the cake if so desired.)

Instructions
  1. Slice the beef across the grain into thin strips. Salt and pepper the beef to taste.
  2. Melt half of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Brown the hamburger or sear the beef strips until browned on all sides. Remove from pan to a plate and set aside.
  4. Melt the remaining half of butter in the same skillet.
  5. Cooking the veggies: start with the onion, give them a couple of minutes to start turning a bit translucent, then add the garlic, give it all a stir or two, then add the mushrooms. The garlic shouldn't really take much longer than the mushrooms. Cook until it's all tender and smells amazing!
  6. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables in the skillet and stir for one minute.
  7. Turn the heat to low and whisk in the beef broth slowly.
  8. Allow the broth mixture to come to a simmer and thicken.
  9. Once the mixture has thickened, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, paprika, and sour cream.
  10. Stir in the beef and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
  11. Serve over hot cooked egg noodles.
Recipe Notes

Steve wants more sour cream flavor, so we're going to add more sour cream, and I'm increasing the bits for the sauce - I think it needs more sauce!  I also think I was perhaps a bit anxious about getting dinner done - or maybe just hungry - so I didn't cook down the sauce enough, so we'll be working on that too.  Sorry, I'm horrible with timing stuff, and really, really good with just dumping ingredients in, but I'll try to document this one a bit better.

Hope you enjoy!

Instructions
  1. Add milk, egg and butter to bread machine pan.
  2. Add bread flour, 3 Tbsp sugar and salt to pan. Tap pan to settle dry ingredients, then level ingredients, pushing some of the mixture into corners.
  3. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients; add yeast. Lock pan into bread maker.
  4. Program for dough. Start bread maker. When done, unlock pan from bread maker. Place dough on floured surface. Knead dough about 1 minute, then let rest 15 minutes.
  5. Roll dough into a rectangle, about 15' x 10'. Spread 1/2 C melted butter over dough to within 1" of edges. Then sprinkle 1/4 C sugar and cinnamon evenly over dough. Roll dough up tightly on long side. Press edges to seal and form into a 12" long, evenly shaped roll. With a knife or thread of dental floss, cut roll into 1" pieces. Place rolls into greased 13" x 9" baking pan. Cover and let rise in warm, draft-free place until double in size, about 30-45 minutes.
  6. Bake in preheated 375F oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on rack for 10-15 minutes.
  7. While cooling, make glaze by mixing confectioner's sugar with orange juice, stirring until smooth. While the rolls are still warm, drizzle glaze over top of rolls as evenly as possible. I left them in the pan, but you can cut them apart and remove from pan, whatever you prefer.

Recipe Notes

Original recipe:  http://365daysofeasyrecipes.com/cucumber-radish-pickled-salad/

I made this recipe because - oddly enough for me - I had leftover cucumber and radishes, and wanted something kind of light to go with lasagna, so roasting the radishes wasn't really working for me.

I used a yellow onion for mine because that's what I had on hand, but the original recipe calls for a red onion, and that would give a really nice color contrast, but I don't think there is a huge difference in flavor between yellow and red.  Maybe a little more punchy, so maybe use a small yellow onion instead of a medium red onion.

It doesn't appear that there is enough liquid for the veggies, so I went in after about an hour and tossed it again, and there was more liquid.  So I part of the minimum 2 hour time to sit is to let all the moisture come out and coat everything well.  But it tastes amazing - Steve really liked it!

Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Wow, these are powerful!  It is listed as I made it, but I think next time I will use 1/2 the Old Bay Seasoning, and probably 1/2 the salt.

Also, I didn't use lemon zest, I used ~1/2 tsp of lemon juice.  Might have made it a bit juicier then it should have been.  So I think net time I'll try a little more bread crumbs, too.  No parsley, either.  And I didn't serve with lemon wedges, but you're welcome to.  🙂
