Recipe Thursday-Cinnamon Buttermilk Coffee Cake

kmellinger — Thu, 17 May 2012 10:34:02 +0000

I have never made coffee cake from scratch before, since when I worked in a summer camp kitchen we used a coffee cake mix, and growing up my parents were addicted to Costco/Sam’s Club mass quantity mixes. So it was due time for me to test out some recipes. This particular Cinnamon Buttermilk Coffee Cake recipe won. It is a very nice change to what I am use to. When I think of coffee cake I think of a traditionally light cake base with crumb topping. Well, this recipe was a delicious dark molasses tasting cake base with a cinnamon nut topping. It was denser than other coffee cakes, but very moist and rather addictive!

Cinnamon Buttermilk Coffee Cake

Yield 9 pieces
Ingredients

2 cups sifted flour (991867)
2 cups dark brown sugar (NSU2250)
1/2 cup butter (880000)
1/3 cup flour (991867)
1 egg (EGG011)
1 cup buttermilk (HPH001)
1 teaspoon baking soda (991858)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (CQC065)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (NNU1014)

Method
Mix sifted flour and brown sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Set aside 3/4 cup of this mixture to be used for topping.

To remaining flour mixture, add the 1/3 cup flour and mix well. Add egg, buttermilk, soda and cinnamon. Mix only until dry ingredients are well moistened. Pour into a buttered 9-inch square pan.

Mix the 3/4 cup with the chopped walnuts and sprinkle on top. Bake at 325 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Let cool in pan.

Recipe Thursday-Reuben Sandwiches

kmellinger — Thu, 10 May 2012 10:12:54 +0000

I forgot about Reuben Sandwiches for a while, but when I moved back into the Lancaster area I was pleasantly reminded that I love them, and they are a great sandwich to make at home! So last week when a bread vendor paid Hometown a visit and dropped off some rye bread to sample, immediately I knew that I would make Reuben sandwiches. I have made them a variety of ways, but this recipe has taken the lead. I use our top of the line Freda corned beef and Jarlsberg cheese rather than a domestic Swiss. Jarlsberg’s flavor is mild, buttery, nutty and slightly sweet and adds more flavor complexity to the Reuben sandwich.

Reuben Sandwiches

Yield 4 Sandwiches
Ingredients
Sandwich ingredients:

2 tablespoon butter, softened (880000)
8 slices rye bread (991735)
8 slices Jarlsberg (CWNO060)
3/4 lb corned beef, thinly sliced (FRD660-2)
1/2 lb sauerkraut (KSL900)
1/4 cup Russian Dressing

Russian Dressing:

Combine the following ingredients. Makes one-half cup.

1/3 cup mayonnaise (992170)
1 1/2 tablespoon ketchup (992300)
1 1/2 teaspoons prepared horseradish (991053)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (991668)
Salt, to taste (991861)
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste (CQP071)

Method

Butter one side of each slice of bread, and place the slices buttered-side down on a large piece of wax paper on a flat surface. Top four of them with a slice of Jarlsberg cheese, and then divide half of the corned beef among them, saving the other half for the top of the sandwiches.

Using paper towels and a fine mesh strainer, squeeze out excess moisture from the sauerkraut. Divide the sauerkraut among the sandwiches, and top each with one tablespoon of Russian dressing. Add another layer of corned beef and a second slice of Jarlsberg cheese to each sandwich. Top with the remaining bread slices; buttered side facing out.

Heat oven to 200 degrees to keep sandwiches warm. Preheat a griddle or frying pan to medium heat. Cook the sandwiches on one side until the bread is golden brown. Use a heavy object to press the sandwiches while they cook. I have used heavy skillets or my ceramic crock pot insert. Use a spatula to carefully flip the sandwiches over and finish cooking on the second side. Keep warm in oven until ready to serve. Cut the sandwiches in half before serving.

Serve with a side of coleslaw.
