An Easy Quiche Recipe, and the Homemade Crust to go with it.


The other day I wanted a Quiche, so here is what I decided on, and it turned out well. You may want to try it too!
Ingredients for Crust:
¾ cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
5 teaspoons cold water or so...

Step 1. Place flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Sprinkle in the chopped butter; rub butter into the flour until it resembles bread crumbs. Sprinkle water over the flour mixture, a teaspoon at a time, stirring lightly with a fork. Add just enough water to allow the dough form a ball and cleanly leave the sides of the bowl. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2. Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Roll out dough, and place in a 9 inch pie/quiche pan. Use a fork to prick holes over the bottom of the pastry.
Step 3. Bake crust in preheated oven for 30 minutes before filling with quiche custard of your choice.
For The Quiche.
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
2 cups milk or Half and Half cream
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cooked ham chopped

The 1964 Cream Cheese Brownie Recipe


I can remember having this Cream Cheese Brownie only once, when I was a Cub Scout, and the Den Mother made them. I remembered them as being very good, and I have thought of making them many times since then, and now I have. Not only I, but everyone else who tried them liked them very much. They were just as I remembered, and now you can also try them, and see!

1 pkg (4 ounces) Baker’s German’s Sweet Chocolate (I used Nestle Cocao)
5 tablespoons butter
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup unsifted flour
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon Calumet Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions:
Melt chocolate and 3 tablespoons butter over very low heat. Stir. Cool. Cream 2 tablespoons butter with cheese. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, creaming until fluffy. Blend in 1 egg, 1 tablespoon flour, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Set aside.
Beat 2 eggs until light-colored. Slowly beat in remaining 3/4 cup sugar until mixture thickens. Add baking powder, salt and 1/2 cup flour. Blend in chocolate mixture, 1 teaspoon vanilla, nuts and almond extract.
Spread half of the chocolate batter in greased 8 or 9-inch square pan. Top with remaining cream cheese mixture. Spoon remaining chocolate batter over top. Then zigzag knife through batter to obtain marble effect. Bake in moderate oven (350F) about 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool. Cut into 24 squares. Enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pie

I was thinking about Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pie the other day, and though I hadn't had it for years, so...I thought I would make one.
It's very easy, just pre cut cookie dough, and ice cream (your choice).

Ingredients
1 package of refrigerated precut chocolate chip cookie dough. 1 quart (or so) chocolate chip ice cream, or your favorite flavor.




Directions
Press dough onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Bake at 350° for 12-16 minutes or until lightly browned. Personally, I took the pan out after 15 minutes, and pressed the cookies down into pie crust shape, as they had risen too high. Cool on a wire rack.

Spoon the ice cream into crust. Cover and freezer for 1 hour. Drizzle with chocolate cup syrup, if desired. Enjoy!

Amazing Apple Butter Biscuits!

Not only do these Apple Butter Biscuits taste great, they also smell wonderful while baking! The recipe is very easy, and quick to make...another plus.
You really should try these ASAP...really!

Without further adieu...here is the recipe. APPLE BUTTER BISCUITS
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
4 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cold butter
3/4 cup apple butter
1 tablespoon of water
Directions:
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in Apple Butter just until moistened. Add water slowly, until you get a dough consistency.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead 8-10 times.

Roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a biscuit cutter, or a appropriate size glass, which is what I used. Place on ungreased baking sheets.

Bake at 425° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. If desired, serve with honey, or butter, though I used apple butter, and it was amazing!

See how easy that was?
