Notes about Recipes in this book

• Egg corn bread

  • IowanCorn on July 10, 2023

    Don't expect the normal bread with this recipe. The beaten egg whites which were folded in give this a very eggy taste, and there was a slight egg rubbery mouthfeel to this. It doesn't rise very high, as there is no gluten to rise against. I did use grits instead of coarse cornmeal, and there was a strong corn flavor. But I don't think I'm going to repeat this one.

• Pumpkin pie with honey

  • IowanCorn on November 25, 2022

    a really good basic pumpkin pie, including the pie crust recipe. I did use the food processor to cut in the butter, which is just easier. The recipe gives the option of honey, molasses or sorghum syrup, but because the title was "with honey" I tried it with honey. It makes it sweeter tasting than with the molasses I normally use, but the pie disappeared just quickly after dinner!

• New Orleans curry powder

  • IowanCorn on January 01, 2026

    My go-to for curry powder recipe if I need one. Flavorful but not overpowering. I can find all of the spices easily here in the rural area of Iowa without difficulty which is helpful.

• Bacon-basted militia chicken

  • IowanCorn on January 19, 2025

    A simple recipe, but tasty - the bacon under the skin of the chicken added a subtle flavor to the chicken. My only problem is that it takes longer that an hour and a half at 300F to get the chicken to 165F. I had to turn the oven up to 450F for biscuits at the end of the time, and left the chicken in while the oven heated, to get the chicken finally hot enough..

• Soused or barbequed pig's "feet"

  • IowanCorn on December 12, 2024

    An interesting result. Tasty, but it is a really long cook to get the rib meat as tender as it needs to be.
