I'll start:
It's winter rn, so what I like to do is to make a lot of bone broth for all kinds of soups. Meat with bones is usually cheaper too, so I buy a whole chicken or duck for example, trench it, cook it under high pressure, save the bones and use them again for broth. It is a rich, nutritious food that contains protein, collagen and minerals and gives your soups so much more body.
Another benefit: you can use all the fat that separates for frying or as spread.
Oatmeal with milk
1. Pour 0.4L of whole milk into a milk pot (preferably double walled one)
2. Add 5 table spoons of rolled oats
3. Heat it and stir it until it boils
4. Leave alone for 40 minutes
5. Add stuff you like (cocoa, honey, nuts)
6. Eat
Guys, I was making a microwave mug cake earlier tonight, and I screwed it up big-time. The recipe isn't hard or anything, and I do it all the time, but this time I accidentally spilled the salt when I was adding the dry ingredients. I tried to scoop some out, but the recipe only uses a very small amount, so I still ended up with too much. I should have started over, but I didn't want everything I had already added to go to waste, so I tried to balance it out by adding more sugar. It still ended up way too salty, and it felt disgusting to eat. I finished it anyway. Maybe you could take a bite of that cake and then drink a margarita or something, but other than that, anyone would have known there was something horribly wrong with it.
Anyway, it's a pretty convenient recipe. To my recollection:
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons oil (Olive or canola. Butter might work, but I've never tried.)
1 tablespoon water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
First mix the dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredients, stir, and microwave for a couple minutes.
I find that it comes out a bit dry if you follow the recipe exactly, so I like to add a bit of sour cream with the wet ingredients. It goes a long way; in fact, I wouldn't recommend skipping that part. And don't mess up with the salt like I did.
It's called a mug cake because you can make it in a typical coffee mug, but it's fine to use a bowl or whatever. You can throw in chopped nuts or chocolate chips, and it's nice with whipped cream. If any of you try it, let me know how it comes out.
If anyone here could bake the Führer cake and report back with results I'd be very interested to hear how it turned out.

I made this recipe again a few days later. This time, I was careful with the salt and got everything right. I cut back on the milk a bit to put in some sour cream like usual. It turned out very well; you really wouldn't think a cake this good could be made so quickly without even needing eggs. I hope someone else enjoys it as well.
what kinds of sandwiches do you guys like? Do you ever use any odd or unorthodox ingredients? I'm trying to add some variety to what kinds i'm making myself every day. I cannot cook btw

I like deli meat (mostly turkey or ham) and cheese with mayo. For breakfast, I sometimes fry or scramble an egg and put it on toast or a bagel with salt, pepper, and shredded cheese. That won't be an option if you're not equipped to cook, but if you just meant that you're unskilled, I assure you eggs are easy.
I love sourdough, it's so useful. Made my own starter a few weeks ago after watching some videos.

Didn't use it for classic sourdough bread though haha, but pancakes and dumplings and cake.
I made pancakes from a mix today. It was easy, since I only had to add water to make the batter. They came out well, but the recipe on the box suggested that it would make a lot more than it did. Maybe I should try pancakes from scratch.

Once I started to make my own pancake batter I never went back to the premade stuff. It's infinitely better and you can manage the proportions yourself based on how much you want to eat. The recipe I follow is:
-Put one cup of wheat flour in a bowl
-Put one tablespoon of butter in a pan and melt it with low fire, don't let it burn
-Pour one cup of milk in the bowl
-Crack an egg and empty its contents in the bowl
-Put the melted butter into the bowl and stir until there aren't any lumps
-(Optional) Add vanilla (and stir, of course)
Then you can cook them like you cook normal ones. I usually preheat the pan for a bit before actually putting the batter and making the pancakes. I like putting the fire on low so they become as soft as they can

I just tried this recipe. It was good, but different from what I expected. I finished all 3 pancakes that it made, although it was a bit much for one serving. The pancakes were very thin, like crepes. I've never made pancakes over such low heat, so I'm still not sure if I did it right. I made each one from 3/4 cups of batter, and they each took at least 10 minutes to cook, rising very little over that time. Does that sound right?
>>986
Now that I've looked into it further, I can see that recipes for pancakes typically call for baking powder. There's none in this recipe, so that would explain why my pancakes didn't rise. I should probably try it again with some baking powder if I can figure out how much to use.
>>989
I tried the recipe again, this time with a teaspoon of baking powder. I also added half a cup of chocolate chips for fun, and I cooked on slightly higher heat. The pancakes came out very nicely this time. The recipe made 4, with each one taking 1/2 cup of batter. I found that they cooked perfectly at 3 minutes on one side and 1 minute on the other.

Sounds good anon. You prefer a sweet version I suppose?
What I did a couple of times was to bake them in the oven on a baking sheet as a whole, add a savoury filling (e.g. shredded chicken, blood sausage, minced meat) & roll it up.
Love the sourdough version.
>>1006
Yeah, I like to have them with syrup and everything. Still, half a cup of chocolate chips is about as many as I could reasonably advise.
I've never had pancakes with meat before, but it sounds good that way. I do like sourdough.

maple syrup with bacon tastes quite well together.
Made some very tasty Eastern European Chebureki I'll post a picture maybe later of one that's deep fried but the recipe goes something like this
for the dough:
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
4 table spoon oil
2 table spoons vodka or tequila (I hear the latter is better taste wise)
for the filling:
2 lbs ground beef
2 big onions (you want to make sure there is as much onion as possible in there)
1 table spoon of salt
1 table spoon of black pepper
(don't feel scared to dump in a bunch more salt and black pepper since there are no spices to go along with this)
1 egg
instructions:
1. Mix the dough together with all of the ingredients I usually use something like a KitchenAid with a dough hook to mix the dough for at least 5-10 minutes.
2. Put all of the filling ingredients together in a food mixer or a meat grinder (meat grinder is very good choice for this since you don't want the meat cut too small and the same goes for the onion)
3. Flatten the dough until it's moderately thin. Place a tablespoon of the meat filling near one of the edges. Fold the dough over the meat filling from the edge, and trim away the excess dough. Next, press a fork along the top and bottom edges to create a textured pattern.
4. You can choose to either bake it in the oven or opt for the preferred method of deep frying in a fryer.
Get large shitake mushroom
Cook, with light oil on pan
Cover top of mushroom with marinara sauce, cheese, and your choice of toppings
Cook in oven
They sell those large mushrooms at stores, its around the size of a small plate, Makes for a damn good pizza alternative.
I was going to make some cookies yesterday and tried to replace some sugar with sugar beet syrup. It worked pretty well and the cookies turned out quite flavorful and not too sweet. They had a slightly crispy outer shell and the inner core was soft and chewy.
>>2305
what type of cookies where they?
>>2311
Hard to specify, because I'm not sure how to call it in English. In German we say "Mürbteig" (shortcrust?), but the dough I made was actually slightly different and more sticky.
Let's just agree it was a simple cookie. :D

I made this cake the other day. It was fantastic! Make sure to be wary with the amount of sugar you use to make the peanut butter frosting because you can put yourself into sugar coma. I had to make a second batch where i had to taste test it with every spoonful of powdered sugar.
>>3113
I also made the ""mistake"" of using jam instead of jelly but it doesn't matter.
https://youtu.be/i_EaR9nJHvE [Play] I saw this video on Mille-feuille by Gordon Ramsay and I must say that I have never seen a more pathetic looking Mille-feuille than this. I can't imagine how bad it tastes either...

would you yell at him like he used to yell at people on hells kitchen if you had the chance?
