I have been experimenting with Berbere Spice for a couple of posts. While I was using it, I had this thought that the complex spiciness would be great in bacon. I am totally unable to resist trying these ideas so, I decided to make some back (Americans call it Canadian) bacon with some Berbere Spice in the cure. I used my A-MAZE-N-TUBE-SMOKER to cold smoke it one day and them my Louisiana Grills Pellet smoker to do a second hot smoke to finish it the next day. Continue reading Double Smoked Berbere Bacon→
It has started snowing again. I know I live in the mountains but give me a break. It is the end of March. Sigh, I need a treat, Sourdough Raisin Bagels. Continue reading Sourdough Raisin Bagels→
Have you ever had pancakes at one of those chain restaurants. They are made from a highly leavened batter with lots of sugar so they get that great brown colour. They add extra salt to bump the flavour of the processed ingredients. They always remind me of paste. I like a pancake that is light but has some texture and taste other than sweet. Sourdough Oatmeal Blueberry Pancakes have no added sugar. All the sweet comes from the blueberries. There is no salt, the flavour comes from the sourdough.

OK, you have made PWE Maple Sausage. Then you made Sourdough Cheese Biscuits. How can you not make A Breakfast Sausage Biscuit? There is no way. It must be done. Enough said.
Catastrophe! I went to the freezer and there was no breakfast sausage left. I had to make more immediately! I have posted my go to breakfast sausage recipe, PWE Breakfast Sausage. As usual, I just can’t resist trying something new. I decided to add maple syrup to the recipe and made Passing Wind Estates Maple Sausage. Continue reading PWE Maple Sausage→
One of the downsides to keeping a sourdough starter is that they have to be fed weekly. This means taking some of the starter out and replacing it with flour and water. Either you need to use the starter you take out or throw it away. I just can’t bring myself to throw it away so I am always looking for ways to use. So, I converted a bagel recipe to sourdough and made Sourdough Honey Bagels. Continue reading Sourdough Honey Bagels→
I have made Sourdough English Muffins before but I decided to try and get a bit more of a sponge effect so the butter will soak in even more. This is the results of my experimenting. Continue reading Sourdough English Muffins→
It was minus 20 outside when I got up this morning. I had risen before She Who Must Be Obeyed which is unusual. I decided she deserved warm muffins for breakfast. The fact I like muffins had no part in my decision to make Sourdough Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins. Continue reading Sourdough Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins→
