Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Who doesn’t love Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix. Quick easy and something most of my American friends grew up on.
Making it from scratch is not only much cheaper, but most importantly there are no mystery ingredients.
2/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow corn meal
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Secret to juicy breasts EVERY TIME is to cook the bird breast side down. That way all the juices run into the breasts, so it can even handle some over cooking and still be juicy. Face down ass up is a great position for just about anything with breasts you want to keep moist.
Self Rising Flour is one of those ingredients I never seem to have on hand. Making my own has  saved many cakes and scones.
1. Combine all of the ingredients. Then, use a whisk or sieve to mix thoroughly.
Baking powder is a combination of potassium bitartrate (cream of tartar) and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Usually cornstarch is added to prevent clumping.
Not only is making your own baking powder cheap and easy, it’s also free of unnecessary additives and aluminum free.
Day old or left over rice works best for fried rice and many other rice dishes. If you don’t have any on hand, cook rice and spread out on a cookie sheet pan or tray and put in the freezer for about 30 mins.
