The Geeky Chef: Butterbeer From the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling I figure this is probably one that everybody knows and has been curious about, so it makes an appropriate first post. I adapted this recipe with some minor changes from Sandra Lee of the Food Network. I normally can't stand the woman but I have to give her kudos to for this one... I came across approximately 42 billion different recipes for Butterbeer but I liked this one best. Edit: For my own superior recipe, buy The Geeky Chef Cookbook! Igredients 1/4 cup evaporated milk 1/4 cup butterscotch sauce 2 tablespoons whipped butter, room temperature 1 1/2 cups vanilla cream soda Directions Combine evaporated milk, butterscotch topping, and butter in a glass heatproof measuring cup.

A Tasty Recipe: That’s the Best Frosting I’ve Ever Had I’ve been intrigued with this frosting recipe for months, not just because of its alluring title, but also because if its ingredients. Five tablespoons of flour? In frosting? Let’s just say my interest was piqued. I finally got around to making it yesterday evening; Marlboro Man’s grandmother has some old friends staying at The Lodge and I wanted to take them a treat. You owe it to yourself to make this frosting sometime in your life. You’ll just have to trust me on this. Here’s how you make it: First things first: I made chocolate sheet cake cupcakes. Here’s the recipe: The Best Chocolate Sheet Cake (or Cupcakes!) Let your cupcakes (or cake) cool completely. Begin by pouring 5 tablespoons of flour into 1 cup of milk. After adding the flour, whisk it together until combined, then place the saucepan over medium heat. Cool the mixture completely. The mixture will be very, very thick. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the cooled flour/milk mixture. Stir it around to combine. I’m bossy.
Brown Sugar Frosting Recipe Brown sugar frosting is one of my most favorite frostings. If you use light brown sugar, as shown above, the brown sugar frosting tastes like a thicker version of the glaze on a glazed doughnut. If you use dark brown sugar, as shown below, the flavor is a bit richer and the frosting is somewhat more creamy. You can’t go wrong either way. I got the delectable brown sugar frosting recipe from Southern Food on About.Com. Brown Sugar Frosting Recipe Ingredients 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 cup brown sugar, packed 1/4 cup milk 2 cup sifted confectioners' sugar Instructions In a saucepan, melt butter.
