Cook the Book: Lazy Man's Ersatz Donuts

Tyronebcookin, I love this idea. It's an easy way to put warm donuts on the table when I don't have the time to make a batter. They are also really good covered in powdered sugar. The last time I used this trick, I put some blackberry jam in a pastry bag with a pointed tip and shot it into the donut before I covered it with powdered sugar. They were fabulous!!!

Cook's Illustrated's Best Drop Biscuits

I love this recipe. I subscribe to America's Test Kitchen, Cook's Illustrated and Cook's Country. They have a million outstanding recipes. Plus they've already done all the testing, so the recipe is perfect. These biscuits are good any time, but I especially love them when I make homemade soup. They are also very good on top of a heart stew and baked in the oven until they're brown.

Memaw's Buttermilk Biscuits

HOLY CRAP, Robyn Lee (THESE BISCUITS WERE SO GODDAMN GOOD. Every bite exploded with crispy-soft-buttery-salty awesomeness) and sshoys (Partway through cooking, I heard an odd sizzling sound coming from the oven. I opened to find the biscuits frying in their own butter and I knew I was in for a treat.) and the rest of y'all! I am going right into my kitchen and baking up a batch of these biscuits RIGHT NOW. Thanks!!!

Taste Test: Frozen Apple Pies

Speaking of apple pies, I made one this Sunday for dessert. It was really good. Of all the frozen pies I've tried, Marie Callender's are the best. I love the apple crumb pie. In a pinch, I served it for dessert one night with some vanilla ice cream and my guests thought I had baked it. I had to confess it was frozen, but they all loved it. Marie's frozen pot pies (chicken with broccoli & mushroom sauce - my personal favorite) and dinners are also very good. I agree with wunami that they attempt to make their frozen products as close to their original recipes as possible.

A Red Velvet Affair

I agree with everyone who prefers the cooked frosting. That's original to the cake. Here's my favorite recipe, if anyone wants to try it:

FROSTING

1 C milk
5 Tb flour
1 C butter
1 C white ugar
1 tsp vanilla

Boil together milk and flour until thickened. Let stand until cool. Cream together butter, sugar and vanilla. Add milk and flour mix and beat very well. (The longer you beat it the better it gets.)
