The Evony Cookbook

This thread is for people to share their favorite food and drink recipes. I'm by no means a professional chef but I love to try out new dishes. Feedback is encouraged!


I'll get the party started with Jerry's Sour Cream Shortcake Biscuits.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for sprinkling
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled
- 1 cup sour cream, not low-fat
- 1/4 cup whole milk

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or a piece of parchment paper. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in 1/4 cup sugar. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in sour cream and milk. Scoop the dough into six high mounds evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer the biscuits to a rack to cool slightly before splitting.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

- 1 1/4 Cup Softened Margarine
- 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp. Vanilla
- 1 1/2 Cup Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 3 Cups Oats
- 2 Cups Chocolate Chips
- 1 Cup Chopped Walnuts (or Pecans)

Heat oven to 375. Cream margarine and sugars till fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Sift flour with baking soda, salt and spices, add to creamed mixture, mixing well. Stir in oats. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts. Bake 8-9 minutes for chewy cookie, 10-11 for crisper cookies.

This is a fun idea. +rep to the first person who posts conversion charts for the Brits and Euros to use.

What Bole meant was a conversion from US units (oz, cup, pint) to SI units (gram, liter, etc)

Ahhhh... Grilled Cheese ;)

Wuvz it

FINALLY!! *dramatic music* the evony cookbook is here :D

I can't cook much outside mac & cheese so I look forward to trying to NOT burn my house down while I try to make the epic recipes that I hope to find. Can't wait until I see the corn salsa Sparty, ;) ;)

I make this awesome chip dip...i wish i had good measurements but i usually guess...lol

1.5 pounds ground beef (leaner is better)
1 can of re-fried beans
16 oz. of Velveeta cheese
1 jar of pickled jalapeno peppers

1 bag of your favorite Dip Chips

Directions.

You will need a big bowl....lol...large enough to hold all the food. Brown the ground beef place then place the cooked meat in the bottom of the bowl. Depending on how spicy you like your chip dip i place slices of jalapeno pepper on top of the ground beef. Warm the re-fried beans using the jalapeno juice to make it easier to stir. spread the re-fried beans on top of the ground beef.

Cube the 16 oz of cheese to make for easier melting. Pour more pepper juice in a medium pot on medium high heat. You will have to gauge how much juice to prevent the cheese from burning. Put the cubed cheese in the pot to start melting. You must continue to stir until completely melted. Once completely melted pour over the re-fried beans until completely covered.

mmm sounds yummy

No need, we use cups & teaspoons as cooking measurements still too. Almost any metric measuring item will still have cups/teaspoon amounts. Most cookbooks still state in those measurements too.... but thanks!

And for cooking Evonians, the always legendary:


Christmas Cake Recipe


Ingredients:
1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup of brown sugar
lemon juice
4 large eggs
nuts
bottle Vodka
2 cups of dried fruit


STEPS:
Sample the vodka to check quality.

Take a large bowl, check the vodka again.

To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink.

Repeat.

Turn on the electric mixer.

Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl.

Add one teaspoon of sugar.

Beat again.


At this point it's best to make sure the vodka is shtill OK.

Try another cup ... just in case

Turn off the mixerer.

Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.

Pick fruit off floor.

Mix on the turner.

If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers pry it loose with a drewscriver.

Sample the vodka to check for tonsisticity.

Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Who giveshz a ****.

Check the vodka.


*hic*


Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.

Add one table.

Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.

Greash the oven.

Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over.

Don't forget to beat off the turner.


*hic*



Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the vodka and kick the cat.

CHERRY MISTMAS!

Ohh, I can make that right noow, I have the ingredients :D

No, I'll wait until we have tacos for dinner :P

1 to 2 pounds of ground beef
1 bag of wide egg noodles
24 oz container of Sour Cream
just enough water to cover the cubes
5 to 6 beef bullion cubes
Yellow Mustard

Directions: Brown the ground beef. Cook the noodles.

Combine the bullion cubes and water in a bowl. Heat in the microwave to dissolve the cubes. You may have to crush the cubes with a fork to help them dissolve in the water.

Make sure the beef mixture is no longer on the heat.

Mix the bullion mixture with the ground beef and the entire container of sour cream along with the noodles. I add the mustard till i like the taste.

2cups flour sifted
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup shortening or butter
2eggs
2ounces red food color
(1tsp salt 1tsp baking soda if using plain flour)
1tsp cocoa
1cup buttermilk
1tbsp vinegar add to buttermilk.

Preheat oven 350. Cream sugar and shortening. Add eggs one at a time. Then slowly add flour. Then cocoa.
Then buttermilk. Mix well. Slowly stir in food color. Then mix.

Cake will be done when a inserted toothpick comes out clean.

I have a killer homemade pizza recipe.

For Pizza Dough:
2 cups whole wheat flour
? cup warm water (for yeast)
1 tsp raw sugar (for yeast)
1 pkg traditional Bakers’ yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tbsp parsley
4 tbsp melted creamery butter with extra for coating crust edges.

Diced tomato
Pizza sauce (canned is fine)
old cheddar cheese
medium cheddar cheese

Prepare the yeast in the warm water and sugar
Let work
Make the pizza dough:
Mix all dry ingredients together
Add yeast
Add melted butter
Knead about 5 minutes, gently
Let dough rest 5 minutes
Form the base crust:
Roll the dough to size preferred, or work by hand, or air-toss
Preheat oven to 375*F
The ‘building blocks’:
Liberally coat with pizza sauce, leaving one inch blank on outside edges
Form a ‘lip’ of dough on all sides
Add remaining ingredients listed in whatever order you prefer, but save cheeses to last
After adding the cheeses as illustrated, sprinkle with coarse salt
Bake until the crust is firm, golden, and the cheese is well melted
Let the pizza rest about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
ENJOY! :+D

AND NO IT DOSEN"T HAVE TO RISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blueberry Muffins

2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cups blueberries

In bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. In separate bowl, cream butter with sugar; beat in eggs one at a time. Gradually stir in milk (mixture may appear curdled). Make a well in centre of dry ingredients; pour in liquid and stir just until moistened. Gently fold in blueberries. Spoon into large paper-lined or well-greased muffin cups, filling to top. Bake in 375 F (190 C) oven for 25-30 min or until tops are firm to the touch.

Enjoy! ^_^

Mariana, That Recipe made me water in my mouth.
However, I have a question. Could we replace the blueberries with any ingredient, such as Chocolate?

tip for making pizza: sprinkle corn meal on the pizza pan before putting the dough on - you wont need to grease the pan and it makes the crust crisper.

Wouldn't know, haven't done the fieldwork on that yet. Don't see why it wouldn't work though >_>

That idea makes me hungry. *runs to do some tests*

I'm going to have to phone my mom for delicious recipes. The only thing I know how to cook by myself is eggs. I even asked Acer how to make a marinade once.

well in germany you find both and now you can even buy the lovely spoons and cups to measure at ikea... before that you i ordered them online so there was no need in messing with converting...

fish mushrooms and corn on cob,,,all on grill

This is what i do with all these,,,pick your fish of choice, i love catfish.

Large piece of foil, rub olive oil on it, cut up an onion and bell pepper place on foil, salt it,,,place fillet on veges, season to your liking wrap air tight throw on grill.

Mushrooms i prefer portabellas, i pour garlic butter all over them then cracked peppercorn, throw on grill.

Corn on the cob on the grill is as good as corn gets, leave husk on, soak in saltwater for an hour and throw on grill,,blacken husk on both sides.

easy backyard food ;)
