What to do with 100 lbs of flour and gallons of honey before I move…. Bake lots of goodies of course. When I made my barge order for the year it made perfect sense to order a pallet full of flour, sugar and other baking supplies. I had the room to store it, and it saved money not having to buy it from the village store. Downside to moving I need to get my butt in baking mode to use up my supplies. While some things like Crisco I can easily sell in the village, other supplies I found the urge to stock up on don’t have a high demand. Why would Crisco be so popular …. It is the main ingredient in making Akutaq aka Eskimo Ice Cream. Crisco, sugar and berries is one version of this Alaska delicacy. It is oddly amazing.
I keep eyeing my honey supply trying to think up ways to use the golden goodness. Flipping thru my recipe binder I came across an oldie but goody and just had to recreate some cookie magic. You could almost call them healthy since the sweetness is all natural –or at least that is my excuse for eating so many !
