According to NBC sportscaster Ahmad Rashad, men and women behave very
differently in the kitchen.
"When men cook, it usually looks like a disaster area," says the
former Minnesota Viking.
"And there's no rhyme or reason to what they make.
My father sometimes cooked chicken for breakfast.
And when he cooked, everything came out six times bigger than when Mom
cooked.
" Rashad's father prepared banana pancakes for him when he was a
little boy, back in Tacoma, Washington.
Washad, in turn, makes them for his 5-year-old daughter, Condola
Phylea.
On Super Bowl Sunday, he promises, she'll be starting off her day with
a short stack.

HARRIET'S SOUTHERN BISCUITS WITH SAUSAGE GRAVY
Instructions:
Start by making biscuits. You can use any recipe you like, but here's
my favorite. It's from _The Frugal Gourmet Cooks American_ by Jeff
Smith.
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp Crisco (I use butter)
1/2 cup buttermilk (I use 3/4 cup)
1 Tbsp Crisco (for frying pan)
Mix the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Blend in the
Crisco
until the mixture is coarse and grainy. Then, using a fork, stir
in the buttermilk. Do not overmix. Put out on a floured board or
marble pastry board and knead just a few times. Pat out the dough to
about 1/2 inch thick. Cut with a biscuit cutter or glass. (Flour the
cutter.) Do not handle the dough too much or it will get tough. Use
a
heavy black iron frying pan. Place the 1 tablespoon of Crisco in the
frying pan and put the frying pan in the oven for about 7 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and place the biscuits in the pan. Turn
each once in the oil and bake the biscuits at 500 degrees for 10
minutes, or until light brown."
Sausage Gravy
While the biscuits are baking, cook some pork breakfast sausage in a
skillet. Do not drain off the fat. When the sausage is cooked,
remove
it and set it aside. Put a couple of tablespoons of flour in the
sausage fat and stir to make a roux. (If you have some spare bacon
grease, add it for extra flavor.) Allow the flour to cook for a
minute
or two, then add milk (preferably a high fat version) while stirring
constantly. Cook and stir on low heat until the mixture is thickened.
To assemble, split a biscuit, put a patty of sausage on each half,
then
pour on the gravy. Enjoy!

OLD SCRAPPLE RECIPE
Instructions:
Several of you have e-mailed me regarding the scrapple recipe. It
seems
the measurement of cornmeal is omitted. As I
mentioned with the old recipe, it was not mine, it was a fellow
"surfer's" recipe. I have tried several times to contact that
person to get the exact measurement and have been unsuccessful.
Another
"surfer" friend, Linda was kind enough to share
this one with me. Again, I have never made it myself but it looks like
everything is there for you to try it. Let me know
what you think.
SCRAPPLE
1 1/2 lb. Pork shoulder or butt
1/2 lb. Pork liver
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 quarts of water
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 c. yellow cornmeal
1/2 c. buckwheat flour (if you don't have buckwheat flour, substitute
all purpose flour)
1 1/4 c. all purpose flour
1/4 c. ground coriander
Pour boiling water over liver, let stand for 5 minutes. Rinse in cold
water. Add to pork, cover with water, add onion, salt
and pepper. Cook on medium heat for 2 hours or until fork tender.
Remove
meat from broth, set aside to cool. Measure
broth and add water to make 4 1/2 cups of liquid. Place 3 cups into
saucepan, reserve remaining liquid. Bring to a boil.
Mix cornmeal, flour, coriander and buckwheat flour in a separate bowl.
Mix together with remaining broth gradually until
smooth. Stir gradually into boiling broth. Cook on low heat uncovered,
for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Grind or chop
meat in food chopper (or finely by hand). It should measure 2 or more
cups. Add to the pot while cooking on low heat.
Pour into casserole or loaf pans. Rinse pans first with cold water.
A reader submitted this tip for making scrapple. "I bake mine in the
oven for 2-1/2 to 3 hours--it gets delicious."

PENNSYLVANIA SCRAPPLE
Instructions:
Any number of displaced Pennsylvania people will tell you that the
only
thing wrong with Scrapple is that you can't buy it
anywhere very far from its origin. Even in Pennsylvania where it
originated and was known as "Ponhaws", it is getting
scarce.
The trouble is economics. Scrapple was a way of using odd bits and
pieces of meat, combined with meal and spices, and it
was, thus a product of farm kitchens and small meat packers. For
several
years, one of the big meat packers in the Middle
West sold scrapple in cans, but there's not much left of Scrapple
selling today. The market is to small, and the product costs
too much, for scrapple to get to much attention.
But for those of us who love it I think that there is nothing as
satisfying, especially as a breakfast meat. Properly made and
cooked, it has the flavor of a good pork sausage combined with the
crispness of bacon.
There are a number of Scrapple recipes, however, this is an old family
one that has proven itself for years. One of its
strong points is that it cooks well; and perhaps even more important,
it
survives freezing without damage.

SCRAPPLE
Servings :0
Keywords : b4 scrapple
Instructions:
2 pounds ground lean pork
1 lb beef liver
1 cup buckwheat flour
3 cups yellow corn meal
4 tablespoons salt
4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons sage
2 teaspoons ground mace
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground thyme
2 teaspoons whole sweet marjoram
3 quarts of water
In a large pot, add the water and bring to a boil. Add the liver and
boil 10 minutes. Remove the liver and either run
through a chopper or grab a knife and cut it in as small pieces as you
can. Return to pot. Add the ground pork, a little at
a time, and stir. If you add the pork all at once, you will end up
with
a big "clump". Boil at about a simmer for 20
minutes.
In a large bowl mix the buckwheat flour, corn meal, salt, and spices;
add to meat and broth slowly, constanstanly stirring.
Simmer gently for one hour, stirring very frequently. Use lowest
possible heat, as mixture scorches easily.
Pour into greased loaf pans, (you will need two - this receipt will
make
two four pound pans for a total of eight pounds)
bounce the pans a couple of times so that the Scrapple settles, and
let
cool. At this point it is best to let the let the
Scrapple set in the refigerator overnight.
Now, as you arise in the morning, remove the scrapple from the refer
and
cut into to 3/8 inch slices. To freeze, lay a sheet
of waxed paper between slices and then put in ziplock bags and into
the
freezer.
To serve, thaw and dust with flour and fry in either bacon grease or
lard until golden brown. Should you decide to use
"Pam" or other such modern devices, you will not only ruin the
Scrapple,
but my grandmother, and perhaps her grandmother
who developed this receipt will descend upon you and rack vengeance
beyond imagination.
Some people prefer their Scrapple with maple syrup. Personally, I like
to lay a couple of slices of Scrapple along two fried
eggs, put lots of butter on the Scrapple, then grab my pepper mill and
make everything look like a gravel truck just past
over it. And, as you eat, mix the eggs and Scrapple together and use a
good "pusher" (fresh crusty bread) to get it together.
Enjoy.

SOUTHERN GAL BISCUITS
(don't know where that name came from)
Instructions:
2 Cups flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tablespoons sugar (sometimes I use a little more to make a
sweeter biscuit)
1/2 Cup butter or margarine (NOT softened!)
1 egg
2/3 Cup milk (may not use this much)
Mix the dry ingredients.
Slice the butter into the flour mixture and mix until crumbly.
This can be done several ways. I have a wire whisk that I use - not
a flimsy egg whisk --- it consists of a wooden handle, with four
thick inflexible wires attached in a semicircle shape. You can also
just use a fork. I also sometimes use an electric mixer -- but only
for the flour/butter step -- NOT when adding the wet ingredients
(I did this the first time I used the mixer, and the batter
completely stuck to the beaters). Whichever method you use, keep
mixing until the pieces of butter are no bigger than a pea.
Then add the egg, and enough milk to make the dough stiff and
dry enough to roll out and cut into biscuits. I usually don't use
as much as 2/3 Cup milk. And, if you add too much milk, just add
more flour.
I use lots of flour when rolling them out. If you don't have a
biscuit cutter, a drinking glass will do. Bake 400 degrees for
about 10-12 minutes - until they rise up and split and turn
lightly brown.
