Alright, I'm gonna pull a Pioneer Woman and show y'all picture by picture
how I made a recipe from The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook!
I thought it'd be fun to make something from this for Halloween since myself and 2 others at work are dressing up as Hunger Games characters, so it only makes sense to snack on something from the Hunger Games universe! ;)
I decided to make Peeta's Cheese Buns, and surprisingly, it's not hard at all, and I tasted one, and they are yummy!
So here's what you'll need:
Bisquick, garlic powder, sugar, milk, sharp cheddar cheese, butter, Old Bay Seasoning, salt
First off, you wanna preheat the oven to 450 and grease a cookie sheet.
Next add 2 cups of Bisquick to a bowl...
Then add 1/3 teaspoon of garlic powder...
Next, add the 1/4 cup of sugar...
Then add 2/3 cup of milk (I use whole, but use whatever ya got!)...
Next comes the 3/4 cup of sharp cheddar cheese...I LOVE sharp cheese!
Mix it all up until the milk has combined with all the dry ingredients...
On the greased cookie sheet, place a spoonful of the batter. It doesn't have to look like a perfect circle unless you're really OCD ;)
And bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes!
But we're not done yet! We have a butter mixture to make!
In a microwave-safe bowl, add a stick of butter...
...1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder...
...1/2 teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning...
...and lastly, a 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Heat it up in the microwave for 30 seconds until it's completely melted.
When the cheese buns come out of the oven, generously brush the tops of the buns.
And ta-da! You can now snack on Katniss' favorite cheese buns!
"Katniss loves Peeta's family's cheese buns, and throughout The Hunger Games trilogy the buns have become a symbol of home and of Katniss and Peeta's lives before the became tributes. This symbolism is so pervasive that Katniss's preference for cheese buns becomes part of Peeta and Katniss's 'Real or Not Real' game to help Peeta find himself after the Capitol violated and changed his memories.
(Mockingjay, Chapter 19)"
[The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook, pg. 38]
I also might make the Sweet Orange Cake from this cookbook too!
I'd say that Peeta's Cheese Buns are a success! I might make them more often :)
Until next time...
May the odds be ever in your favor!
