Vinegar Air and Salty Crispy Potatoes – British Larder

Entered for safekeeping, by Madalene Bonvini-Hamel of The British Larder. The recipe’s name tickles me. I imagine snacking on these in front of a soccer match with a fine ale. Bring out the mandolin, the deep fryer (or spray them with nonstick spray and bake them in the oven if you must), and a cream whipper (which needs 2 Nitrous Oxide pellets). (If you don’t have a cream whipper, you could whip with a hand mixer or stand mixer, it just won’t be as chic. But if you were looking for an excuse to get a professional cream whipper, here it is.) (See Recipe #13526 for directions to microwave the potato chips.) This may be made into a Vegetarian dish if agar agar replaced the gelatin. There! You have made gourmet potato chips! Eat with attitude!

British Fig Rolls – Almost Better Than Shop Bought!

This is a recipe I found many years ago for authentic Fig Rolls, and they are almost better than the shop bought variety, much though I love the commercial ones! Try to roll out the pastry as thinly as possible, other than that, this recipe is a breeze to make. Fig rolls are a much-loved “biscuit” from my childhood days and I make them whenever I can as I now live in France, as we cannot get them here. Fig rolls are great for a mid-morning snack with a cuppa as well as being ideal for school lunchboxes, picnics, gifts and afternoon tea. (I have posted this recipe on Zaar especially for Lalaloula, who asked about a fig roll recipe in the British forum.)

Bahamian Baked Johnny Cake

In some regions, “johnny cakes” are small, flat griddle cakes. In The Bahamas, Johnny Cake is baked. Serve your Johnny Cake warm with butter or jam as a breakfast treat or a snack, or enjoy it as a side dish with stew or soups. Recipe is from a Facebook group.

Savory Macadamia Nuts

This recipe is from “8 Grams or Less Low-Carb Recipes”, a cookbook I got in the cookbook swap this year. These are good as a snack or on top of salads. Posted for ZWT5!
