Re: [CnD] CREAMED CORN CASSEROLE
I use a 2 quart casserole dish for one recipe, but I have doubled and tripled it and used a 9 by 13 inch baking dish. If you wanted more than that, if you have a lasagna dish, that would work as well.

Re: [CnD] Frosting Cakes or Cupcakes?
I also use a spoon and I use the tip of my index finger to make sure that the frosting is at the edge. Touch it very gently though, or you'll leave a finger print. I don't care when I'm frosting it just for me and my roommate, but if I take it somewhere, then I try to be more careful. Sometimes, since my roommate has sight, he does it for me.

[CnD] Basic Muffin Recipe - Easy Plain Muffins
Basic Muffin Recipe - Easy Plain Muffins The key to making great muffins is not overmixing the batter. Once the liquid ingredients are added to the dry, mix the batter by hand just until the flour is moistened, for no more than about ten seconds. Too much mixing can cause the muffins to be dry, tough or misshapen. And if you want to spruce your muffins up a little bit, here's a recipe for a cinnamon streusel topping you can mix up in just a few seconds. Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 35 minutes Ingredients: list of 8 items . 2 cups all-purpose flour, or 2¼ cups pastry flour, sifted . ½ cup granulated sugar . 1 Tbsp baking powder . ½ tsp salt . 1 cup whole milk . 1 tsp pure vanilla extract . 1 large egg (or 2 medium) . 4 oz butter (½ stick) or shortening list end Preparation: list of 9 items 1. Preheat oven to 400° F. 2. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt. 3. Unwrap the butter and heat it in the microwave, in a microwave-safe bowl, for about a minute, until it's thoroughly melted. Set it aside at room temperature to cool, but don't let it solidify again. 4. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and then add the sugar, milk and vanilla to the eggs. 5. Thoroughly grease and flour a muffin pan (or use paper muffin liners). 6. Pour a tiny bit of the melted butter into the egg-vanilla-milk mixture and stir it in. Repeat 3-4 more times, adding a slightly larger amount of the liquid butter each time until it is all incorporated. IMPORTANT: Don't add hot melted butter to the egg mixture as the heat from the butter would cook the egg, and that's not what you want to do! 7. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ones and mix no more than ten seconds. The batter should be visibly lumpy, and you may see pockets of dry flour. That's OK! It's extremely important not to overmix the batter, or the resulting muffins will be too hard. 8. Gently pour the batter into the prepared muffin pan and bake immediately. TIP: The dry and wet ingredients, respectively, can be mixed in advance, but as soon as the wet and dry ingredients have been combined with each other, the liquid will activate the baking powder and the batter must be baked right away. 9. Bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. list end. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark

Italian Sausage and Pepperoni Stromboli source: Bev Cooks. I am making this for dinner tonight. Going to make two and freeze one of them before baking for a busy night. Making a salad to go with it. I use the chicken sausages also. Very good. Using the mozzarella and basil ones tonight, and using turkey pepperoni. sue What it took for 2 10-inch loaves: 1 pound pizza dough, cut in half 3/4 cup favorite marinara 3 links Italian sausage, casings removed (mine were actually flavored chicken sausages, so use your fave!) 20 pepperoni's 1 medium green bell pepper, diced 4 slices provolone cheese, torn 3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil, divided Preheat oven to 425. Brown the sausages in a large skillet, until cooked through, 6 minutes. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each ball of dough until it looks like a 10 to 12-inch pizza. Spoon the marinara over each crust, leaving about an half an inch around the sides. Sprinkle the sausage over the marinara, followed by the pepperoni, followed by the diced green bell pepper, and lastly the torn cheese. No need for salt or pepper. The meats have plenty of flavor. Now, lightly brush the edges with a little bit of the oil. Carefully roll up the pizza, forming a Stromboli. Transfer the Stromboli to a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, score 3 slits across the top of the Stromboli, allowing steam to escape. I brushed a little more oil over the top, too. Makes it pretty. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until dough has browned on top and is cooked through. Let sit for about 5 minutes, slice and serve! Enjoy.

AUNT JEMIMA'S MAKE YOUR WIFE HAPPY PANCAKES 2 c. Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix 1/2 c. water Wake wife up! Heat griddle to medium heat or if griddle is electric, to 375 degrees. Combine all ingredients in clean bowl. Stir until great big lumps disappear. For thicker pancakes, use less water and for thinner pancakes, use a little more water. Cook on griddle, present to wife, sit back and watch her smile. To keep smile on wife's face, clean up afterwards and wash dirty dishes. Enjoy.

Hi all, I am suddenly in the mood for pancakes. Does anyone have a recipe for basic ones (that is, no fancy fillings, flavors, or toppings)? I have always loved mixes the best, but if there is a scratch recipe that can equal or beat a mix, I would love to have it. I know they say egg whites fluff pancakes, but it's not the fluffiness for me; mixes also have a better overall taste, at least I think so. Any ideas? Thanks.
