How To Bake

Caramel Apple Pie French Toast
Dennis WeaverOct 22, 2024
. . . We took apple pastry filling, spread between two slices of homemade bread, preferably Pumpkin Walnut Bread, and slowly cooked it on the griddle. It's marvelous, especially with the pumpkin bread.  The earthiness of the pumpkin bread matches the pie-like apple filling perfectly. Buttermilk syrup is unique with a tone of caramel spiked with a touch of butterscotch. Caramel flavored whipped cream is the crowning touch. I like walnuts and their crunch with whipped cream, so I'm likely to add a handful of chopped nuts. It's a great breakfast. No, it's a great treat, good enough for dessert and good any time of year.

If you haven't heard of overnight baked French toast, this is a great introduction. You can make it in advance, up to three days, in the evening—so no busy mornings. On the morning of your event, take it out of the fridge and pop it in the oven. All the work is done.  There is a recipe for cream syrup if you want to add something fancy.
The Easy Way to Make Biscuits and Gravy in About 15 Minutes
Dennis WeaverSep 04, 2024
You can make your biscuits from scratch or from a mix. If you use a just-add-water biscuit mix, you don’t have to stop and measure. You don’t have to cut the butter into the flour with a pastry knife. Just add water, form, and bake. You can also make your gravy from scratch although a just-add-water gravy mix makes it super easy; you can do it on the stovetop. Sauté the burger or sausage and maybe a little onion and add it to the gravy.
