Notes about Recipes in this book

• Green onion cakes

  • bching on September 03, 2014

    These (pan)cakes are delicious with ham and every now and then I get a strong craving for this simple meal. They're very easy to make, too.

• Corn crepes

    Includes buttermilk, and an egg. Neal says corn flour is sold at health stores. Wonder if it's a Bob's Red Mill item? Also check with Wade's Mill.

• Tartare sauce

  • emiliang on September 01, 2013

    Very good. Our new favorite. But we use capers instead of the olives and Old Bay Lemon & Herb instead of the cayenne, lemons, and parsley.

• Buttermilk biscuits

  • emiliang on September 15, 2013

    This has become the standard biscuit recipe for us. Very light and perfectly balanced sour notes. Only change we make is that we fold the dough on itself (in thirds, like a letter) a couple of times before cutting out the biscuits. Baking time on a cast iron pan is 10 minutes at 450 degrees.

• Angel biscuits

  • ellabee on January 17, 2016

    These must be what our neighbor Mrs. Stoner made -- completely different from my mother's short biscuits from Joy. The two major anchors of my childhood universe of biscuits, the minor third being E.'s Christmas beaten biscuits (muy Eastern Shore, and only good as ham conveyors).

• Peach cobbler with clabber biscuits

  • emiliang on August 04, 2013

    The "clabber" biscuits make this cobbler recipe truly exceptional. Substitute nutmeg for the cinnamon to allow the fruit flavors to really shine.

• Fruit fritters

  • emiliang on November 18, 2013

    Simple and wonderful. Used apples: cored, peeled, halved, and sliced into 1/2 in. semicircles. Recipe makes enough batter for two large apples.
