I lied.  I didn't make pumpkin pie.  I picked up my farm share and someone foisted a half-dozen, over ripe, bananas onto me.  I instead made pumpkin banana bread?  Utilizing buckwheat honey as my moisture?  Never made the recipe before, so I'm trying it now for breakfast.  Butter and drizzled honey on a slice.

What is buckwheat honey?

 

[leggo PE]

Like, what's the difference between buckwheat honey and regular honey?

The buckwheat.

My mother used to make buckwheat pancakes and I swear those things would practically mummify me, they were so dry. Ugh. 

Paying a friend to make pies for Thanksgiving. I'll post them like I baked them.

Strangely enough, my grandmother used to get buckwheat pancake mix from a friend, and they were the best pancakes I've ever had.  I never was able to figure out what brand the mix was after she passed, and after trying three or four, just gave up looking.

The question is: "who is buckwheat?", dear.

My mother has a cooking skill that allows her to turn anything good bad. 

It came from this cookbook, which she kept as a Bible: https://www.amazon.com/JANE-BRODYS-GOOD-FOOD-BOOK/dp/B0082AHK5I/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_img_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=6A1BNWFZYSYR930FZ7FG

I'm now dying that it's "Living the High Carbohydrate Way." That doesn't sound keto. 

Here's the recipe:

   • 1 cup corn meal (or oat, millet or buckwheat)
     
   • 1/2 cup wheat germ
     
   • 1/4 cup sugar
     
   • 4 tsp baking powder
     
   • 2 tsp baking soda
     
   • 1 tsp salt
     
   • 1 cup dried buttermilk mix
     
   • 1/3 cup powdered non-fat milk

   • 1 1/2 cup mix
     
   • 1 1/4 cup water
     
   • 1 egg white
     
   • 1 TBsp oil

   • yogurt, fruit and syrup (optional)
     

PREPARATION

1. 
   To make the mix, thoroughly combine all the dry ingredients and store in container in a dark place. To make enough pancakes for 4 people, combine the liquid ingredients and quickly stir them into 1 1/2 cups of the mix. Add more mix or water to make the thickness you prefer. Pour cakes into a very hot greased skillet and flip when ready. Top with yogurt instead of the traditional butter and fruit and syrup.

need to schedule my annual holiday cookie baking day soon before my schedule fills up.  

 

[leggo PE]

I made chocolate chip cookies last night for a friend's birthday today. But the mix was premade. They look good!

 

[MA_PE]

Got to like a good looking set of cookies!

 

[leggo PE]

Didn't taste them (probably a mistake) because I only made one dozen, and there are going to be 10 people at the house tonight... I didn't want to show up with 10 or 11 cookies, haha!

 

[MA_PE]

Just add the "holiday 5-pack" of beer and you'll be fine.

 

[leggo PE]

Funny you say that, I do need to go buy some beer this afternoon.

You can't bake cookies and not taste them. I think it's punishable by death in some places, at least in the south.

 

[leggo PE]

Good thing I'm not in the South then!

I tasted the dough. That tasted good!
