Cooking Tips

hot pie scones

The folks over at the Inn Of The Crossroads have done it again. This time with a nod to Hot Pie and his Direwolf bread.

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1/4 cups sugar
1 Tbs. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup cream or milk, or more as needed
dried currants, for eyes

Combine all dry ingredients, and then gradually add in the milk while stirring. If you need a bit more milk, add it until you have one cohesive and soft dough. Press the dough out on your work surface to a thickness of around 3/4″ thick. Using a sharp paring knife, cut out a rough wolf shape. Don’t worry if it’s a little ugly: Hot Pie’s was rustic as well!

Cut extra strips for additional legs and press them onto the main wolf shape, or leave them with just two legs. Cut a criss-cross shape for teeth and press a currant into the dough for an eye. If you like, texture the tops with the tines of a fork.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350F for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are a nice golden brown.

The Inn At The Crossroads has released their most recent Game Of Thrones recipe based on an excerpt of The Winds of Winter that was recently posted by George R.R. Martin.

These Medieval Dornish Cream Cakes sound dangerously good. They’re light and tart and I’m guessing it’s really easy to eat a lot of them in one sitting.

Check out the recipe after the break if you want to make your very own.

keurig ramen

Someone who was impatient and hungry decided to get creative and speed their way to perfectly cooked Ramen noodles using a Keurig coffee machine. Here’s how:

Rather than wait for water to boil like a savage, you can just stick your ramen cup under the Keurig, hit the trigger (sans coffee pod) and let a perfect amount of perfectly-hot water cook the noodles, perfectly. Make sure you don’t put in a coffee pod.

With the coffee and Ramen bases now covered by one machine, its safe to say that most college students will no longer have a use for the kitchen.

The bewildering success of Fifty Shades of Grey has led to knockoffs, replicas, and parodies – I expected that would happen. However, I did not guess there would be a parody involving a chicken and Patrick Stewart. Seriously.

Fifty Shades of Chicken by FL Fowler is a “parody in a cookbook.” The book features the dirtiest of chicken recipes. Think about it: spatchcocking, trussing, skinning, stuffing – it practically writes itself.

And the trailer for the book is hilariously over the top. As the icing on the uh, chicken, it sure sounds like Patrick Stewart is narrating the book trailer. Every dirty second of it. Random House hasn’t confirmed it, but the voice seems to match. If they somehow made an audio book version and he recorded it, I’d give them all my money.

Watch the book trailer after the break.
