Best with fresh ingredients, but powdered forms work well also. Adjust the spices and sugar to taste. This is very good hot or cold. Also good for iced chai latte treats.
Chai Concentrate
Apple Cider Donuts
Apple cider is usually too sugary for the yeast to grow properly. If you want to try to omit the water to make a stronger cider mix, be sure to proof the yeast first. We used home made unprocessed apple cider for these and they had a nice cider taste.
Granola, Simple
Tasted and approved by college students.
Tamales, Black Bean
I am not sure where we found this recipe, but it is one of our top favorites. The tamales do take a good afternoon to prepare, but there is often extra to share or to freeze.
Look for the corn husks at a Mexican store if there is one near you. Soak the dried beans over night before cooking, or see notes to use canned beans. Be sure to soak the corn husks a few hours ahead of time. Homemade tomatillo sauce is recommended.
Pumpkin bread
This is a sweet bread similar to the recipe we made in cans years ago. While I would not recommend baking this in cans, if you can find a round bread baking tin, fill it a little more than half full and place on center rack to bake.
We reduced the sugar from the original recipe, but reduce it further if desired. Toasted with a little butter is our favorite way to eat it.
Multi Grain Sourdough Bread
Using our favorite sourdough recipe, we added grains and few extra ingredients and came up with an excellent sandwich bread.
English Muffins, Sourdough
Sourdough Baguettes
Start these the day before you want them.
Rye Sourdough Bread
If you prefer a stronger flavor, add more molasses and caraway seeds seeds.
