oklahoma nut candy

Here’s a classic Oklahoma Nut Candy recipe — a simple, old-fashioned Southern treat that’s buttery, nutty, and melts in your mouth. It’s sometimes called Oklahoma Pecan Candy or Southern Nut Fudge, and it’s perfect for holidays or gifting.


๐Ÿฌ Oklahoma Nut Candy

Yields: About 2 pounds
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Cooling Time: 1 hour


๐Ÿง‚ Ingredients:

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chopped nuts (traditionally pecans or walnuts)
  • Pinch of salt

(Optional: 1 cup miniature marshmallows or 1/2 cup shredded coconut for variation)


๐Ÿฏ Instructions:

  1. Prepare the pan:
    Line an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly butter it.

  2. Cook the sugar and milk:
    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and evaporated milk. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and mixture begins to boil.

  3. Boil to soft-ball stage:
    Continue boiling gently (stirring often) until the mixture reaches 236°F on a candy thermometer, or until a small drop forms a soft ball when dropped in cold water.

  4. Add butter and vanilla:
    Remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla until smooth.

  5. Add nuts (and optional extras):
    Quickly stir in nuts — and any extras like coconut or marshmallows — until evenly coated.

  6. Pour and cool:
    Pour the mixture into your prepared pan and spread evenly. Let cool completely at room temperature.

  7. Cut and serve:
    Once firm, cut into squares and store in an airtight container.


๐ŸคŽ Tips:

  • Use fresh pecans or toasted walnuts for the richest flavor.
  • For a creamier texture, stir in 1 tablespoon marshmallow crรจme after removing from heat.
  • Store at room temperature up to a week, or freeze up to 2 months.

Would you like me to include a variation for chocolate Oklahoma nut candy (like a fudge-style version)?


Homemade Butter (10-Minute Method)

by

 








Here’s a quick and easy 10-minute homemade butter recipe — perfect if you have heavy cream and want fresh, delicious butter without any special equipment!


๐Ÿงˆ Homemade Butter (10-Minute Method)

Yields: ~1 cup butter (plus buttermilk)
Total Time: 10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Tools: Electric hand mixer, stand mixer, or jar with lid


๐Ÿง‚ Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy cream (cold or room temperature)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, for salted butter)
  • Ice water (for rinsing the butter)

⚡ Method 1: Mixer Method (Fastest)

  1. Pour cream into a bowl:
    Add the heavy cream to your mixing bowl.

  2. Whip the cream:
    Beat on medium-high speed. First, it’ll turn into whipped cream (about 3–4 minutes).

  3. Keep whipping:
    Continue beating past the whipped cream stage. You’ll see the fat separate from the liquid (buttermilk). It’ll look grainy, then clump together.

  4. Drain the buttermilk:
    Pour off the liquid (save it for pancakes, biscuits, or baking).

  5. Rinse the butter:
    Pour in cold water and gently knead or press the butter to remove remaining buttermilk. Repeat with fresh cold water until the water runs clear.

  6. Add salt (optional):
    Mix in salt for flavor.

  7. Store:
    Shape and refrigerate in an airtight container. Lasts 1–2 weeks refrigerated, or up to 3 months frozen.


๐Ÿซ™ Method 2: Jar Shake Method (No Mixer)

  1. Pour 1 cup of heavy cream into a mason jar (fill only halfway).
  2. Screw the lid on tightly and shake vigorously for 5–10 minutes.
    • It’ll turn into whipped cream around minute 3.
    • Keep shaking until you feel a solid lump form.
  3. Drain, rinse, and salt as in the steps above.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips:

  • Use high-fat, fresh cream for the best flavor.
  • For flavored butter, mix in herbs, honey, garlic, or cinnamon after rinsing.
  • Unsalted butter is best for baking; salted for spreading.

Would you like me to include flavored butter variations (like honey-cinnamon or garlic-herb)?

  2. Add the Vegetables:
    Gently fold in the finely chopped vegetables until evenly distributed.

  4. Roll Tightly:
    Roll each tortilla up tightly to form a log.

  5. Chill:
    Wrap the rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (this helps them firm up and makes slicing easier).

  6. Slice & Serve:
    Remove from the fridge and slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve cold.


๐Ÿง‚ Optional Add-Ins

  • Shredded cheddar or Colby cheese (1/2 cup)
  • A dash of hot sauce or ranch powder for flavor variation
  • Fresh parsley or dill for a farmhouse touch

๐Ÿงบ Tips

  • Use soft tortillas — if they’re stiff, warm them 10 seconds in the microwave before spreading.
  • These keep well for 2–3 days in the refrigerator.
  • Perfect for picnics, school lunches, or church gatherings — a real Amish community favorite!

Would you like me to give you a version with meat (like ham or turkey) or a low-carb/keto variation too?


KFC’s Original Secret Chicken Recipe

by

 








KFC’s “Original Recipe” for fried chicken is one of the most famous trade secrets in the food industry — but there’s a widely believed version that was accidentally revealed in 2016.

Here’s what’s known:

๐Ÿง‚ The Alleged Original Recipe

In 2016, the Chicago Tribune published what it claimed to be the handwritten recipe from Colonel Sanders’ nephew’s scrapbook. It lists 11 herbs and spices mixed with 2 cups of flour:

The 11 Herbs and Spices

  1. 2/3 tablespoon salt
  2. 1/2 tablespoon thyme
  3. 1/2 tablespoon basil
  4. 1/3 tablespoon oregano
  5. 1 tablespoon celery salt
  6. 1 tablespoon black pepper
  7. 1 tablespoon dried mustard
  8. 4 tablespoons paprika
  9. 2 tablespoons garlic salt
  10. 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  11. 3 tablespoons white pepper

Mix these with 2 cups of all-purpose flour to coat the chicken.


๐Ÿ— Basic Cooking Method (Home Version)

  1. Marinate chicken pieces in buttermilk (optional, 2–12 hours).
  2. Coat the chicken in the seasoned flour mixture.
  3. Rest coated chicken on a rack for 15–20 minutes.
  4. Fry at 325°F (160°C) in vegetable shortening or oil until golden brown and fully cooked (about 15–18 minutes for bone-in pieces).
  5. Drain on paper towels before serving.

⚠️ Note

  • The exact KFC recipe and process (pressure frying, proprietary flavoring, and specific supplier blends) are still trade secrets.
  • This version, however, has been tested by food writers and said to taste very close to the real thing.

Would you like me to give you a scaled recipe (e.g., for 1 kg of chicken) or the exact preparation steps to mimic the KFC texture (including brining and double-coating)?
