BREAD MACHINE BREAD

 

Using a simple bread machine set on 2# loaf and "light" finish, for mine that's the #1 menu choice:

Be very precise in your measurements, this is key.

*To your bread machine bucket add :

1.5 cups warm water

2 tablespoons of olive oil

*seal the liquid by covering with:

4 cups of all purpose flour

1.5 teaspoons of salt

2.5 tablespoons of sugar

*make a little indention in the top of the flour mix now and add the dry yeast to the indention:

1.5 teaspoons of active dry yeast

After about 10 minutes when it finishes it's first kneading, check it to see if it needs another teaspoon of water or flour.  (If it's gooey, add a teaspoon or two of flour, if it's crumbly dry, add a teaspoon or two of water...however if you've measured accurately, no adjustment should be needed).  The ideal is a slightly wet clay like feel. 


Remove from bucket as soon as it's done and let it cool on a rack.  Bread can be cut once cooled.  

BUTTER BOBS FRIED CHICKEN

  

About a cup or so of lard heated to 350 in a skillet with lid, lay chicken in skin down for 7 min with lid on, (thighs and drumsticks work great), then remove the lid and continue for 7 minutes with lid off. 

Round Two:
Turn the pieces of chicken over and cook for 7 minutes lid on, then 7 minutes lid off.

Final browning & temp raising if needed: 

 If needed, flip the chicken pieces  a final time for a minute or two of browning (lid mostly on) until meat temp is 160, remove the chicken.

Have some melted butter with a teaspoon or so of garlic salt (or garlic powder plus some sea salt) brush this liberally onto both sides of each piece.  Delicious chicken is ready to serve.

CHAFFLE LOW CARB SAUSAGE AND EGG BREAKFAST

 

A mini, a small "Dash" brand chaffle maker

In a bowl mix/blend one egg and a handful ( or 3/4 cup) of shredded cheese (any kind but blended like "fiesta blend" etc works great)  shake on some salt and pepper like you would for an egg.

Add a tab of ready to melt butter and a big spoon of water
blend thoroughly

Put a pinch or spoon full of shredded cheese onto the hot griddle to help add crispness

Now dump half the egg mix onto the griddle and close the lid

Set timer for 5 minutes...but if you don't care for timers, wait till the steam stops

remove done one to a cooling rack or a paper towel and prop up one side on a plate or something so it's not laying flat   

cook the other one.

Now...once done, smear one side with mayo (the cheese/chaffle can be a bit drying on the tongue) , cover with a cooked sausage pattie and slices of a fresh tomato, then cover with a fried egg, put the top chaffle on and you've done it...a delicious low carb sausage and egg chaffle.  This pic is waiting it's egg...

TERRAPINS

 

My dad made these on occasion while we were kids.  They got their name because of the different patterns on them and shape and size were similar to some turtles.  

This may be the easiest recipe posted, because it only has 2 ingredients.  A can of cheap biscuits :  

And a bit of butter or bacon grease for the skillet.  Set the temp on low to medium, melt the butter or bacon grease in the skillet then when it's warmed up good, toss in the biscuits.  (Yes these are the same biscuits the instructions say to bake in a pan, but we're doing this instead)

Turn fairly frequently so one side doesn't get too brown before the center can cook to desired doneness.  

Jelly/preserves/honey etc go great with these but they are just fine without the sweets and make an ideal addition to a plate of bacon and eggs.  

QUICK KIELBASA BREAKFAST

Need something different for breakfast?  throw a bit of bacon grease or butter in a pan, slice up a stick of smoked kielbasa, add some frozen "stir fry vegetables"  and stir/warm/fry for a good 10 minutes or so.  Add soy sauce and if desired, rice.  

Personally I liked putting the kielbasa slices in first so they kind of got "fried" on both sides before adding the veggies for warming
