Basic Quickbread

I wish I could find the author of the recipe I based this on, but it’s not showing up on what I thought were the searches I had used, so I’ll have to add attribution as soon as I can find it.

The modified version is provided here.

  • 1 large egg (Duck egg preferred)
  • 45 grams almond flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder (Aluminum Free)
  • 1.5 tsp Olive Oil or Ghee
  • Salt to taste, but don’t short it (even if making a sweeter bread)
  • Pepper or other Herbs or Flavorings as desired

Combine all the ingredients, you will end up with a thick batter. Bake at 335F for 15-30 minutes (depending on how thick you’ve spread the resulting batter into pans, muffins, or however else you plan on cooking it. I normally spread it on a Silpat (or, for “rolls”, spoon it into a round egg ring on the Silpat, and then remove the ring).

In general, you’ll use more than one instance of this, but as a topping for a cobbler, you might do just one instance, add vanilla extract and some Stevia leaf, and put it on top of fresh fruit tossed with a bit of Arrowroot or other paleo-friendly thickener.

 

Eat Your Books

Cookbooks.

I like cookbooks. I have rather a lot of them.

Well, by reasonable standards, I have a lot. But there are people who have far more than I do, so I don’t have a problem. Well, yet.

But finding things in them can be a bit tricky. Which book had what recipe, where did I find the right version of that sauce, and so on and so forth.

Enter Eat Your Books, an indexing site. They don’t store the contents of your cookbooks, but what you can do is store which cookbooks you have. Then you can search the indexed books for all the versions of a given recipe, or what recipes you have for a certain ingredient, well, you get the idea.

This is the start of the move off of LiveJournal for personal posts. For the moment, they’ll probably be echoed, and I’ll be bringingĀ in older posts over time. The picture at the top of the page is the building in Manhattan where my Grandfather first lived when he came to America, almost 100 years ago.

I’m not sure when/if private posts will be moved.
