Stir very well. It is actually tastier when it sets for a few hours before serving. The seasoning blend together. I also add more mayo since we like it very moist. Serve this on a lettuce leaf or bread rolls/buns.
Using a pastry blender, cut in 1/2 c. firm butter.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and set aside.
In a separate bowl mix:
2 c. canned pumpkin
1/2 c. milk
2 t. vanilla
Pour this into the center well. Stir just until moist. Turn onto a floured surface. Shape into 2 flat round pieces about 8″ in diameter. Cut into 6 pieces for larger scones or into 8 pieces for small scones. Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
If you want to frost, use a basic glaze frosting. Remember that when the scones are warm the glaze thins out, but makes it more yummy! If the scones are cool when frosted, use a thinner glaze that spreads around easy.
Suggested Glaze for frosting while scones are warm:
Melt: 1/4 c. butter
Add: 2 c. powdered sugar
Slowly add warm water until the frosting reaches a thick spread. Frost scones while warm.
Make a well in the center. Set aside. In a separate bowl mix:
2 eggs
1 1/2 c. milk
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. vegetable oil
Pour the liquid mixture into the well of the dry mixture. Stir just until it is all moist.
Gently fold in 2 c. fresh or frozen blueberries. (If using frozen blueberries, I suggest you toss them in a bit of flour to help with the extra moisture in them.)
Grease and fill muffin tins. Sprinkle on the following crumb mixture:
I use the crock pot to make this. Of course on HIGH it will cook faster, melt the cheese faster ~ about 2 hours. I do make it on LOW mostly, taking about 4 hours. Stir every 30 minutes either way.
3/4 c. Parmesan cheese (the kind you put on spaghetti, not fresh shredded cheese)
1 t. salt
1/2 t. black pepper
2 t. dill weed
In a baking dish (or 9″ x 13″ pan) splash about 2 T. lemon juice. Sprinkle on about 1 t. dill weed. Lay salmon fillet with skin side down on a baking pan/dish. Spread the above mixture over the salmon. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes, covered. Uncover fish and bake for another 15 minutes. This depends on the thickness of the fillet. If it is thinner, bake for maybe 20 minutes originally. To bake the last 15 minutes is essential so that it crisps the creamy mixture.
Layer in order in a deep casserole, using desired amounts of each:
potatoes (diced, slices, julienne)
onion, chopped
salt and pepper
hamburger, fried
frozen peas
carrots, diced
white sauce (recipe below)
Cover tightly with the lid or with tin foil. Bake at 350 degrees for at least an hour. If it is very thick, you may even need to bake for 2 hours!
WHITE SAUCE:
In a pot, melt 1 c. butter
Stir in about 2 c. flour
Add milk SLOWLY until you reach the desired thickness
Remove from heat. Sprinkle in:
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. onion powder
1/2 t. pepper
1 t. salt
~~~ This was what Grandma Nancy brought to all the church pot luck meals for the years we lived near them. It was always the best. If she didn’t bring this, she would bring a variation of it. So the following is another common thing she made:
Again, layered in a casserole pan:
Potatoes
onions
carrots
salt, pepper, garlic, & onion
green beans
hamburger
TOPPED WITH A WHOLE BOTTLE OF KETCHUP (always the cheap store brand stuff!)
Cover tightly with the lid or tin foil. Bake at 350 degrees for at least 1 hour.
Pour into a greased casserole. Refrigerate overnight. Remove from fridge about 30 minutes before placing in oven to bake. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Sprinkle a layer of crushed potato chips or Ritz crackers on top. Bake for another 10-15 minutes.
