Buttermilk Biscuits


Biscuits, Bread, Quick Bread, Recipes, Savory

You’re probably wondering, hey Becky, c’mon, you already gave us a buttermilk biscuits related recipe, what the….why this one too? I will tell you why. Because this recipe is written to be solely a plain Buttermilk Biscuit.  No fancy-schmancy extras like the Cheese (Bacon and Scallion) ones.  It matters. You laugh, I know; there are […]

Easy Lemon Bars


Brownies & Bars, Fruit, Recipes

Pucker up, pals!  It’s Lemon Bar day! Pucker up further, these are easy peasy lemon haha squeezy and loaded, loaded I say, with happy lemony goodness.   Honestly, I never thought it possible to find a good lemon bar.  Or, I should rephrase — I had yet to find a truly tasty, truly lemony, not […]

Toffee


Candy, Chocolate, Holiday, Recipes

This may be Steve’s favorite thing that I make. And even though I only make it during the holiday season to give as gifts to family, friends, and co-workers, it’s certainly a sweet treat that could be made any time of year. In fact, Valentine’s Day is fast upon us, and this would make the […]

Butter Cookies


Cookies, Dairy Free, Holiday, Recipes, Vegan

I’mma keep a’-rollin’ on a cookie theme here and share a Marshall family favorite.  We love these Butter Cookies like mad, especially my brother. I’ve entered this recipe in the Chicago Tribune’s annual cookie contest twice now but unfortunately readers must feel these are too boring to vote for.  Which is unreasonably ridiculous because there […]

There’s a hint of fall in the air, with chilly mornings and evenings, leaves just barely beginning to turn, and freshly picked apples popping up everywhere.

Exceptional Zucchini Bread


Bread, Breakfast, Cake, Fruit, Quick Bread, Recipes

We’ve been so fabulously seasonal lately here on Flaky Bakers, with our Blueberry Cheesecake Pie, Fresh Blueberry Pie, and (for our furry family members) Peanut Butter and Blueberry Pupcakes. As blueberry season is winding down, it seemed only right to head into zucchini season with a zucchini bread recipe. Last fall, my friend Kayte had […]

(Blueberry Cheddar Bacon) Honey Cornbread Muffins


Berries, Muffins, Quick Bread, Recipes, Savory

When I was a kid, my mom would make the Jiffy box muffins* and we all loved them.  We were always excited when she made them, they were special.  My dad and I would pour maple syrup over those warm cornbread muffins and shovel ‘em in.  What?!, maple syrup, that’s weird and/or gross, you’re thinking.  […]

Jammin’ Jam Bars


Apple, Berries, Brownies & Bars, Cookies, Dairy Free, Fruit, Gluten Free, Recipes

The first thing you should know about this recipe is, just like the Vanilla Buttermilk Cookies, these jam bars are hard to stop eating. I mean, you don’t think it’s going to be a problem when you’re making them, but then you’ve let them cool, cut into them, and you’re taking that first bite of […]

Lately these days I’m finding I have less and less and less time in a day. I mean c’mon, where the heck does it all go?!  I swear, one minute I’m groggily trying to drag my night owl rear end up for the day and the next I’m back in bed for the night wondering […]
