Recipe Introduction


Have you ever wondered if you would have had what it took to survive out on the homestead? Well, imagine yourself stoking the wood fire in your log cabin kitchen stove. You’re preparing to make your holiday cookies. You go to gather your ingredients. You may have fresh cream butter you just whipped up from your morning milking. But, oh, no! Where is your granulated sugar? You forgot to plant a crop of sugar beets! Where is your Mexican vanilla, not to mention your cream of tartar?

Well, never fear. Here is a super simple recipe, with only just 4 ingredients you would probably have in your pantry: butter, maple syrup, flour and salt. If you want to be real old-timey, you can grind some wheat berries to get fresh milled flour. (A coffee grinder works well if you don’t have a flour mill). So get out your gingham apron and enjoy a taste of the good ol’ days. By Forkable
