How To make Pecan Pralines Patout
2 c Heavy cream
4 c Raw or brown sugar
1 t Vanilla
2 c Pecan halves
2 T Butter
Alex Patout swears his recipe makes "The creamiest pralines anywhere" Butter a medium saucepan--this will make it easier to clean later. Pour in the cream and place over high heat. When it begins to boil, add the sugar and stir rapidly until it dissolves. Then stir in the vanilla and pecans and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (236F on the candy thermometer). Remove from heat and quickly beat in the butter--this helps arrest the cooking process. The candy should lose its glossy color and become very cloudy. Lay out a long strip of waxed paper on a work surface. Moisten it with a damp towel. Drop good-sized spoonfuls of the hot praline mixture onto the waxed paper, stirring the mixture occasionally as you go along to keep it well combined. Remove the pralines from the paper before they have cooled completely--later on it will be hard to remove them without breaking them. Store in tightly sealed containers, with layers of waxed paper in between. Makes about 2 dozen From Alex Patout's Cajun home Cooking

How to Make a Chocolate Cookie Crust
How to make a chocolate cookie crust 'from scratch'. The store bought ones are not very good to me and recipes on the net for this is scarce without the use of Oreo's (which is expensive and turns out greasy).
Since chocolate wafer cookies are not only hard to find but also expensive here, I have resorted to using chocolate animal crackers to make my crusts. They are the same texture, taste and ingredients as the wafer cookies but a LOT cheaper so I use them.
What you'll need:
2 cups cookie crumbs (about 3 cups of cookies make 2 cups of crumbs)
6 Tbsp butter or margarine, melted
Mix the crumbs and melted butter or margarine together until well mixed. Pat out into an un-greased glass pie plate. Bake at 350* for 8-10 minutes. Let cool before using. Enjoy!

Frog Scones Recipe! (Super Easy!) | Kim-Joy's Kitchen
Learn to bake FROG SCONES - super cute, delicious, and easy to make! These are the best scones, and can be made vegan and gluten free if you like. Leave them plain or decorate them like frogs, up to you!
----
Makes around 7-8 small scones (double for more!)
Ingredients:
- 225g self raising flour (or use gluten free flour plus 1tsp xantham gum if your flour doesn’t already contain it)
- Pinch of salt
- 15g caster sugar (you can adjust this for sweetness)
- 1tsp baking powder
- 55g butter (or vegetable shortening, or vegan butter - use a quality one that’s near to 80% fat for the best result)
- 125g milk (or use any plant based milk)
You can also add raisins, sultanas, chocolate chips, etc!
To glaze:
Beaten egg, or plant based milk
Green food dye
To decorate:
Icing (icing sugar and tiny bit of water)
Edible eyes (if you don’t have, just use icing to pipe on)
Method:
Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl. Chop the butter into cubes, chuck into the bowl and use your fingertips to rub it in. Stir milk into the flour mixture, til it forms a ball of dough. Pat out on to a floured surface. Use cutter to stamp out scones. Brush with glaze (mix together egg/milk with green food dye). Add balls of dough for the eyes. Brush over glaze again. Chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 180C. Bake for 10-15 mins (you might need to add more green glaze half way through).
Decorate with edible eyes (stick on with icing). Or pipe on eyes. That's it!

How To Make The Perfect Buttermilk Biscuit
Kathy’s Southern Kitchen
Buttermilk Biscuits
2 Cups + 2 Tbsp. of Self-Rising Flour (you’ll need a little extra for flouring your dough and surface area)
1 Tsp. of Baking Powder
½ Tsp. of Salt
½ Tsp. of Sugar
1 Stick of (slightly frozen) Butter (I use salted butter)
1 Cup of Cold Buttermilk
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar making sure everything is well blended and no lumps appear.
Using a cheese grater, grate butter directly over the flour mixture. Stir often to insure that the butter is covered in flour and doesn’t clump together. Reserve one Tbsp. of butter.
Create a well at the bottom of your bowl and pour in buttermilk ½ cup at the time. Gently stirring with each addition. It’s extremely important not to over stir the dough. This insures a very soft, light biscuit.
Turn the dough onto a generously floured surface. Using your hands, pat the dough until it forms a large disc about 2 inches thick. Fold the dough over three times, gently needing it as you go. Repeat this process and pat out dough into a disc shape that is about 1 inch high.
Grease a 9 inch oven proof skillet or baking dish with the remaining butter, reserving what’s left. Using a biscuit cutter or small tin can (I use a tomato paste can) cut the biscuits into desired size. Place biscuits into skillet very close together making sure they’re all touching. This helps the biscuits to rise to their fullest potential.
Bake for 10 minutes and then remove biscuits from the oven and brush the tops with the remaining melted butter. Continue baking for 7 – 10 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown.
