Hough Bakery - butter cookies

By
Hough Bakery By  Gail Greenberg   &   Diane Rolfe Hough Bakery was an integral  part of me and my family's lives, (most people in Cleveland for that matter) I was heartbroken when they closed. I have  always remembered the cookies and doughnuts from this magical bakery. Their products were like nothing I had ever had before (and it was extra  magical because I was so little/young) I have been searching for about 30 years for something similar - no luck... but, thank goodness there are a few recipes floating around the internet! Unfortunately  even with Archie's being open, my food afflictions will not allow  me to enjoy those old time favorites. Luckily, converting is what I do and that's what this site is about so I  will switch some things  around and see how it turns out! The recipe below is just ONE of my all time favorites, please enjoy! Memories of a signature blue-and-white, string-tied cake box filled with a streus...

Authentic 1-Day Ethiopian Injera: Gluten-Free 100% Teff Flatbread

By
I really really hope that I can make this recipe work! I received some teff flour from the food pantry and I had NO idea what to do with it. I am so happy I found this recipe! Makes:  4-6 Injera Time:  1 day to ferment, about 30 minutes to cook Tools: Large glass bowl Cheesecloth, muslin or kitchen towel with a thin weave Parchment paper Ingredients: Try to buy everything organic.   Here’s why . 1 1/2 cups teff flour 2 cups pure water 1/2 tsp baking powder Coconut oil for pan 1/4 tsp salt, or more to taste Let’s get started. Place Teff flour in a large glass bowl, add water and stir well. Cover with a cheesecloth or towel and place on the counter and let it sit for 1 day/24hrs. Do not agitate or stir the batter, just leave it be. After 24 hours, you’ll see that your batter is alive and fermenting. Every batch I made looked a bit different, some were brain-like (below) and some were less puffy. Bring a pan to medium heat, and very lightly, coat ...
