Cheesy Scones

 
Larry treated us to his yummy omelets for supper.
I made these simple scones, which went perfectly with the omelets.

The baking powder makes these really light and fluffy. The kids love these!

3 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 egg beaten with enough milk to measure ½ cup
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup self-rising flour
1 tablespoon melted butter

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a baking tray with cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine margarine, egg and milk mixture, cheese and baking powder until well blended. Add self-rising flour a little at a time, mixing well. On a well-floured surface, gently knead dough and pat into a square. Cut the square into 4 equal-sized smaller squares. Cut each of these smaller squares in half on the diagonal, making triangles.
Place triangles on prepared baking sheet and brush with the tablespoon of melted butter.
Bake until golden brown, about 12 - 15 minutes.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...

They were a hit!  These cake-like cookies are simply delicious! The brunt sugar icing is perfect! This was one of Wayne's mom's recipes. Be sure to take a look at Mrs. Carter's original recipe in her own handwriting . I love that! What a treasure! I have formatted the recipe to conform to my usual way of posting (Y'all have been able to tell I have a format, right?;) I do like Mrs. Carter's version better, though! I am sure her icing looked much neater than mine! The kids were rushing me. Lost was coming on! Thanks again for sharing this, Wayne!
