Breakfast Recipes

Cornmeal Bisquits
Ingredients:
2 cups cornmeal -- any color
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons butter
1 egg -- lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 spray shortening
Cooking Directions:
Preheat oven to 425~. In a food processor or large bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups
of the cornmeal with the flour, salt, sugar, cayenne pepper, baking powder
and baking soda. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the whole
mixture is the texture of cornmeal. Separately mix the egg with the
buttermilk, and stir all but 2 tbsp. of this liquid into the dry mixture.
Mix just enough to make a uniformly moistened dough. Dust a clean board
with half the remaining cornmeal, and turn the dough out onto the floured
surface. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cornmeal, and with flowered
hands, gently push the dough into a circle about a 1/2" thick. Cut with a
2" or 3" biscuit cutter, and place biscuits close together on a greased
cookie sheet. Brush top of the biscuits with the reserved buttermilk egg
mixture. Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and brown, about 12
minutes. Cool for a few minutes before serving. Yields about 1 dozen
biscuits.

1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Cup Oil
1 Package Active Dry Yeast
1/2 Cup Warm Water
2 Cups Milk
3 Cups Flour

Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water.
Scald milk and cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs well, then add other ingredients.
Stirring until mixture is blended. Then beat until the batter is smooth.
The batter may be stored in a large fruit juice container so that it does
not rise over the top.

Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
4 tablespoons butter, or margarine*
3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries --
Cooking Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease a muffin pan with 2+1/2-inch diameter
cups, or line with paper baking cup liners; set aside. In a bowl, sift
together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; add frozen blueberries, and
make a well in the center. Pour the milk into a 2 cup glass measure and
add egg and butter; blend well. Pour liquid all at once into flour well.
(This method allows you to mix the batter with fewer strokes, avoiding
overtiring.) Making 12 to 15 full circular strokes that scrape the bottom
of bowl; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Batter 'should' be
lumpy. Fill each prepared muffin cup 2/3 full with batter. Bake for 20 to
25 minutes or until tops are lightly browned. Remove muffins from pan
immediately (otherwise moisture condenses on bottom of cups and muffins
become soggy). Makes 12.

Farmer’s Breakfast
6 medium potatoes (I use red)
8 slices bacon
1 medium onion, diced
6 eggs
salt and pepper
butter
parsley (optional)
Cook potatoes with their scins in boiling salted water until done. Cool, peal or leave skins on,
cube or slice. Cut bacon in small pieces and fry on medium heat to desired crispness. Drain on
paper towel. Add aprox. 2 tbls. butter to the bacon fat and fry onions until transparent. Add the
potatoes to the pan with the onions and fry until crust forms. Return bacon. Crack the eggs into
the potatoes and scramble them around with everything. Salt and pepper to taste. Be careful with
the salt, since the bacon is salty. Finish with parsley.
Good as a side dish, breakfast of course, or as a main meal for 2 with a green salad.
Cook time is after the potatoes have cooled.
