Apple Pancakes🥞 🍎

A fall spell of mine, can be used for love,luck, prosperity, or all three depending on how you charge your ingredients 🍎 🥞🍏

You will need:

1 apple (divination, abundance)

Dash of cinnamon (luck, prosperity)

Dash of nutmeg (protection,luck)

Dash of cloves (prosperity,luck)

Dash of cardamom (love,protection )

Dash of ginger (love, abundance)

2 tbsps maple plus more for topping (to sweeten the spell)

Optional: Peanut butter (prosperity)

Prepared pancake mix (or made from scratch if your fancy) I used my favorite gluten free mix

Chop up the apple into small pieces and sauté with a bit of butter or neutral oil. When the apple has mostly softened, and spices and sauté to release aromas. Then allow to cook a bit before adding the maple syrup. Set aside.

Make pancakes. I added some peanut butter before topping with the apple mixture and syrup but this can be left out or Nutella can be used to make it extra sweet. Top pancakes with apple topping and extra maple syrup to taste and enjoy!

Let me know if you try this recipe!

Jae-ha was right. I ignore what’s important and evade the problem by pretending to work hard.

A few years ago, when I was living in the housing co-op and looking for a quick cookie recipe, I came across a blog post for something called “Norwegian Christmas butter squares.” I’d never found anything like it before: it created rich, buttery and chewy cookies, like a vastly superior version of the holiday sugar cookies I’d eaten growing up. About a year ago I went looking for the recipe again, and failed to find it. The blog had been taken down, and it sent me into momentary panic. 

Luckily, I remembered enough to find it on the Wayback Machine, and quickly copied it into a file that I’ve saved ever since. I probably make these cookies about once a month, and they last about five days around my voracious husband - they’re fantastic with a cup of bitter coffee or tea. I’m skeptical that there is something distinctively Norwegian about these cookies, but they do seem like the perfect thing to eat on a cold day. 

Norwegian Christmas Butter Squares

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 egg 1 cup sugar 2 cups flour 1 tsp vanilla ½ tsp salt Turbinado/ Raw Sugar for dusting

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Chill a 9x13″ baking pan in the freezer. Do not grease the pan.

Using a mixer, blend the butter, egg, sugar, and salt together until it is creamy.  Add the flour and vanilla and mix using your hands until the mixture holds together in large clumps. If it seems overly soft, add a little extra flour. 

Using your hands, press the dough out onto the chilled and ungreased baking sheet until it is even and ¼ inch thick.  Dust the top of the cookies evenly with raw sugar.

Bake at 400 degrees until the edges turn a golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven. Let cool for about five minutes before cutting the cooked dough into squares. Remove the squares from the warm pan using a spatula.

So I tried this recipe.

And it is GREAT.

It basically makes the platonic ideal of commercial sugar cookies, only in bar form. When I give them to people (which I do a lot, because this is one of those simple recipes where the results seem very impressive), I just tell them they’re sugar cookie bars.

Life hack: add white chocolate chips and sea salt

[mxxnlit-witch]

I made these today for the equinox with sea salt caramel chips and they are simply amazing. Let’s see how long they last with six people in the house!

Noting for later (as we need more butter for this, and probably won’t do a grocery shopping till the weekend).

[amyamychan]

The OP version of this has become my go-to cookie for basically all things and I have a whole cohort of friends and colleagues who would murder each other to get them. Haven’t tried any add ons yet, since the base recipe is SO GOOD.
