  • 7 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 3 tablespoons half-and-half
  • 1 large egg

Powdered Sugar Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk

Spiced Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 pinch ginger
  • 1 pinch ground cloves

Directions:

  1. TO MAKE THE SCONES:.
  2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
  3. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large bowl. Using a pastry knife, fork, or food processor, cut butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly and no chunks of butter are obvious. Set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin, half and half, and egg. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Form the dough into a ball.
  5. Pat out dough onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a 1-inch thick rectangle (about 9 inches long and 3 inches wide). Use a large knife or a pizza cutter to slice the dough twice through the width, making three equal portions. Cut those three slices diagonally so that you have 6 triangular slices of dough. Place on prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes. Scones should begin to turn light brown. Place on wire rack to cool.
  7. TO MAKE THE PLAIN GLAZE:.
  8. Mix the powdered sugar and 2 tbsp milk together until smooth.
  9. When scones are cool, use a brush to paint plain glaze over the top of each scone.
  10. AS THAT WHITE GLAZE FIRMS UP, MAKE THE SPICED ICING:.
  11. Combine the ingredient for the spiced icing together. Drizzle this thicker icing over each scone and allow the icing to dry before serving (at least 1 hour). A squirt bottle works great for this, or you can drizzle with a whisk.

Place on a floured surface, cover and let rest for 15-30 minutes.
Roll one ball out and cook in a skillet until large "bubbles" form.
Flip pita over and cook the other side for a few more minutes.

Ramen Noodle Egg Foo Yung


I was surprised. This is a variation of a rather bland scrambled egg mix that I found on the net but turning it onto an egg foo yung is really special.

Ingredients:

1 (3 ounce) package ramen noodles (I think chicken is the best but I like oriental flavored, occasionally)
3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 large eggs
2 green onions, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Directions:

Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions and drain well in a colander.
Whisk eggs, onions, 1/2 of the seasoning packet, sesame oil, soy sauce, and baking powder with a fork in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat butter on med high heat in an 8 inch nonstick skillet.
Add drained noodles to butter and brown lightly about two or three minutes. Do not stir.
Pour whisked egg mixture over noodles and gently incorporate, don't really stir, just sort of mix it gently and let the egg set enough to flip the egg patty over.
Flip the patty over and cook the other side until the egg is set, about two minutes.
Flip over again and cook about 1 minute more.
Serve with soy sauce if you wish or an egg foo yung sauce.
** if you are egg foo yung/patty flipping challenged I have two possible solutions for you.
1.Use duonyte's suggestion and flip a small patty into a larger pan. I have done that and it works very well.
2. I have also used tuna cans as a foo yung mold. Cut out the top and bottom of a large can of tuna with a can opener -- three tuna can molds will fit into a large nonstick skillet and they are the perfect size to flip. (spray the insides of the cans with cooking spray!) Then you have three smaller patties instead of one huge bulky one. The cooking time will be affected -- but when the egg is set it is done. It isn't rocket science.

World's Best Cinnamon Raisin Bread (Not Bread Machine)

  5. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes until smooth.
  6. Place in a large, buttered, mixing bowl and turn to grease the surface of the dough.

  9. Moisten the dough with 2 tablespoons milk and rub all over the dough with your hands.

Secretly Delicious Spinach Pie


The tortilla adds a delicious crunchy shell and it smells so good while it is cooking. I actually made up this recipe from items in my kitchen and couldn't believe how wonderful it tasted!

Ingredients:


  • 5 jumbo eggs (or 7 large eggs)
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 3 roasted garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 1 dash salt
  • 3 slices cooked bacon, chopped (optional)
  • 1 large flour tortilla
  • 1 1/2 cups any blend shredded cheese
  • 3 cups fresh spinach

Directions:

  1. Mix the first six ingredients (eggs, bacon, milk, garlic, lemon pepper and salt) in a bowl. Set aside.
  2. Lay the flour tortilla in a glass pie dish, press gently - does not need to lay perfectly flat against dish. I don't spray it prior and have never had any issues with it sticking. Especially when made using a glass pie pan.
  3. Sprinkle only 1/2 cup cheese on tortilla.
  4. Sprinkle remaining cheese and the spinach onto tortilla in layers, and press gently. I don't chop or tear the spinach but you might opt to do this.
  5. Pour egg mixture evenly over spinach, be careful not to pour any outside of tortilla as this causes it to stick to pan.
  6. Bake in oven at 365 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes. Insert fork in center and it should come out clean.
  7. Use sharp knife to cut into pie slices and serve hot.
  8. Other options: Instead of garlic, you can use 1/4 cup onions. For added flavor, serve with homemade salsa.
