• Monday, January 14, 2008 - Peppermint Patties

Posted in Dessert
I made these Sunday evening, and there's only one word...incredible!  Very good treat!  I will double the recipe next time for us.  It made 15 good sized patties.  If you give them a try, leave a comment letting me know how they turned out for you!

Peppermint Patties
1 pound powdered sugar
3 Tbsp softened butter

Combine well then add:
2 tsp peppermint extract
1/4 cup evaporated
milk

Roll into 1" balls.  Lay onto a waxed paper lined baking sheet.  Chill for 20 minutes.  Press flat with hand or bottom of glass.  Chill again for 30 minutes.

Melt together:
12 oz. chocolate chips
2 Tbsp. shortening

Dip patties in chocolate.  Place back on the waxed paper.  Freeze a short time.  Keep refrigerated until serving.

• Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - Savannah Gold

Posted by Anonymous
Savannah Gold is the first thing they take off of cane sugar when they are refining it down. Savannah Gold w/Honey is a good white sugar replacement. Savannah Gold w/Molasses is a good brown sugar replacement. They are still a sweetener, but they have a few nutrients which are removed from white refined sugar. Also known as sucanat or dehydrated cane crystals. I find it more full-flavored so I do not use as much sweetener.

• Thursday, January 31, 2008 - Adding Sucanat

Posted by Anonymous
The sucanat is the same as Savannah Gold with molasses. Do the same thing to it as I have done with the Savannah Gold with molasses. Blend it to a powder and follow my recipe adding it to the eggs. The only difference that you will find from my cake is the color of the finished product. That will be because the color of the sucanat is darker than the savannah gold with honey.
