These biscuits are easily the best I’ve ever made and super easy. They come together with very little effort within a half hour. This recipe make 8 very large biscuits so feel free to make them smaller but remember to adjust the cooking time down a few minutes if you do that. These are great with jam, cream, soups, or even plain and they come out tall, soft, and flaky just like any proper biscuit should.

You may look at these and ask yourself what the difference between a Yorkshire pudding and a popover is and the answer is honestly, not much. The puddings use oil (or dripping) and popovers use butter and I think that might be the entire list of differences. You can interchange your fat of choice to make these more or less savory but either way they are absolutely fantastic with a roast beast and gravy or even with a thick soup as a kind of extremely puffy roll replacement. Since they only take minutes to make with 10 minutes of pre-prep they’re great if you need a bread side dish right away.

Pampushka are a traditional Ukrainian style roll which can be either sweet or savory. This version is an herb and garlic butter topped version which is perfect for dipping in a hearty broth-filled soup or as a side dish at a big meal. You can top these with whatever your heart desires but the smell of garlic and butter before biting into a pillow-like bun is, to me, unbeatable.

This is an extremely pleasant cheese pie that is made even better with addition in chopped onions. In the future I would definitely whip the feta for an even and soft texture. I have never actually eaten one of these before and saw pictures online of both square and round versions, I eventually opted for the round but you should follow your heart. This is a great snack or light lunch if paired with a soup or salad that’s not too much work and can be made ahead of time.

If you want a delicious winter soup that is easy and hearty and kind of feels like it heals you upon the first bite then this is the one. In the original recipe the ginger is in chopped chunks but in future versions I started grating it finely because the texture is a little strange to me but you can go either way depending on your personal preference. If you have leftover cooked chicken on hand this is one of those really easy recipes that doesn’t take much time or energy and the rice makes it hearty enough to be a full meal by itself.

You can blend the sweet potato in this recipe into a completely smooth paste but personally I like seeing all the little bits of potato throughout the bread. It’s basically a pound cake with a delicious twist and not unlike banana bread and traditional pound cake the recipe is super easy and forgiving. While the cooking time seems very long it actually does need the entire time otherwise it will be surprisingly soupy in the middle. However, your reward will be a warm house that smells delicious.

This is a super easy recipe which can be prepared ahead of time. The samosa dough is vegan, comes together in 2 minutes, and only contains a few ingredients you have around the house and these can be filled with any already cooked filling. They’re absolutely worth making, especially if you want to impress a crowd with surprisingly little effort.

If you have a little time in the morning or decide you want something special the next day these are a great change up from the traditional pancakes and quick waffle batter. What’s so great about this type of waffle is that the batter is a solid mass so there’s no spills or leaks even if you overfill the waffle iron. The original recipe calls for sugar crystals but if you don’t have these you can omit them and simply make sure to put some delicious jam, jelly, syrup, or even savory toppings on the waffles for best results.

These aren’t too much work and will produce muffins with pretty good nooks and crannies for a great side dish with breakfast or a nice base for a sandwich. The only downside is that the batter needs to be made at least 3 hours ahead of time but that also means you can make the dough the night before and simply bake them in the morning. I baked mine on the stove in a cast iron pan but you can bake them only in the oven if you do not have a good heavy bottomed pan.
