Azerbaijani Pilaf

Azerbaijani Pilaf

2 TB clarified butter or ghee
1-1/2 cups water
1 tsp. flour

Pancake Day

Pancake Day is coming soon. February 5, 2008 will be Shrove Tuesday, also called Pancake Day in many cultures.

Shrove Tuesday is Pancake Day.

The origin of eating pancakes on Pancake Day has to do with using up milk and eggs that would otherwise spoil because these items were not eaten during Lent.

In 2007 Pancake Day was on 20 February 2007 In 2008 Pancake Day is on 5 February 2008

Lots more Pancake Recipes are available and we will be providing them in time for your Pancake Day celebration.

Free Pancakes may be offered by restauranut chains as part of National Pancake Day.

Shrove Tuesday is the last day before the Christian period called Lent. It is the day before Ash Wednesday and the date is directly related to the date on which Easter falls.

Shrove Tuesday falls 41 days before Easter Sunday, so the date varies from year.

Pancake races are held at many places in Britain and tossing pancakes is also a favorite pastime.

To get started you can begin with our basic Buttermilk Pancake Recipe and add whatever you want to it or on top of it.

Recipes Recipe - Famous Recipes - Buttermilk from Scratch

MAKING BUTTERMILK FROM SCRATCH For this, you need fresh raw milk because pasteurization destroys the needed bacteria. Allow a cup of filtered fresh raw milk to sit covered at room temperature until it has clabbered (usually several days). Place 1/4 cup of the clabbered milk in a pint mason jar, add a cup of fresh milk (does not have to be raw at this point), cover, shake to mix, allow to sit at room temperature until clabbered. Repeat this transfer of sub-culturing several more times until the milk dependably clabbers in 24 hours. Taste a small amount to confirm that it is tart, thickened, and has no off flavors. To then make a quart of buttermilk with this culture, add 6 ounces of the buttermilk to a quart jar, fill with fresh milk, cover, shake to mix, allow to sit at room temperature until clabbered. Refrigerate. Recipes Recipes

Beef Noodle Soup a La Nita 3 cubes Knorr beef bouillon (Need 6 beef bouillon cubes of other beef brands) 1 qt. hot water plus 1/2 to 1 qt. more water, as needed 3 Lbs. boneless shoulder roast 2 Tbsp vegetable oil (optional - use only if needed 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 2 cloves garlic, crushed, peeled, minced fine 1 medium sweet type onion, peeled, chopped 1 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. black pepper 2 Lbs. egg noodles, broken in 3 or 4 pieces each - unprepared Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees F. if baking meat. Dissolve beef bouillon cubes in hot water and set aside. Heat a large Dutch oven or oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add oil if meat is VERY lean, otherwise, just add meat and sear until brown on all sides. Add vinegar to pan. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Add beef bouillon cubes mixed in water to pan with beef. Bring to a boil. Add garlic, onion, salt and black pepper. Cover pan and cook on low heat until well done and very tender. Add more beef bouillon or water, if needed, while cooking. Note: You only want the meat to be only about 1/2 covered with liquid. If desired, you may bake meat, covered, at 350 degree F. for about 1 1/2 hours. When meat is done and very tender, remove from stovetop or oven, allow to cool thoroughly. Slice meat and chop it to desired size. Reserve chopped beef. Leave liquid in pot. Add noodles to boiling beef stock and boil for about 18 minutes. Add extra beef bouillon or water thinning soup to desired consistency, only if needed. Add chopped beef back to the pot and bring to a boil. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve Hot in preheated soup bowls.
