Chef Janon joined the FOX21 Morning News crew on Wednesday, November 27, and shared some non-traditional Thanksgiving dishes: Crystal Pie and Chocolate Millet Crispy Treats. See below for the swaps and recipes. Typical Switches In Tight Sitches: 1 Tbsp Fesh Herbs = 1 tsp Dry Herbs 1 tsp Baking Soda = 4 tsp Baking Powder (avoid recipes with acid) 1 tsp Baking Powder = 1/4 tsp Baking Soda + 1/2 tsp Cream of Tartar 1 tsp Cream of Tartar = 2 tsp Lemon Juice or neutral Vinegar 1 cup Cream = 7/8 cup Whole Milk + 1 Tbsp Butter 1 Egg = 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise Breadcrumbs sub with ground Crackers, Oats, Cereal, or Pretzels (reduce salt in recipe) Mace sub with Nutmeg Lemon Juice sub with Vinegar or Wine Beef Broth sub with watered down Soy or Miso Sauce Buttermilk sub with Yogurt (Use Greek Yogurt for higher protein) Wine sub with Fruit Juices In Baking, sub half the fat (butter or oil) for Apple Sauce Crystal Pie: (Makes 1 pie) 1 Tbsp (typically 2 packets) Gelatin Powder or 3 Tbsp Agar Agar Powder 1 cup (8 oz) Boiling Water 1 cup (8 oz) Soda, Wine, or Fruit Juice (Adjust sweetness accordingly with agave, honey, or sugar) 1 premade Pie Crust Garnish - Fresh or Dry Fruit, Whipped Cream, Carmel Drizzle, Sprinkles and more Dissolve gelatin or agar agar in the boiling water for 5 minutes. Add soda (or other sweetened beverage) and sweetener and stir gently. Pour into the prepared pie crust and chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours. Garnish joyously. Millet Crispy Treats: (makes approximately 16 two-inch pieces) 6 cups Puffed Millet Cereal 6 Tbsp Salted Butter 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract 1/2 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk 4 cups Mini Marshmallows Garnish with Chocolate Chips, Sliced Almonds and/or Sprinkles In a large pot over medium heat, toast the millet gently, stirring often for about 5 minutes, then remove from the pot and set aside. Add the butter to the empty pot. Toast until lightly brown and slightly smelling of nuts (about 7 minutes). Stir in vanilla extract and sweetened condensed milk. Once combined, add the mini marshmallows and stir until melted. Add back in the toasted millet and stir. Pat the gloriousness into an 8 x 8 slightly buttered (or lined with parchment paper) pan and garnish if desired. Allow to cool completely before slicing or molding into seasonal shapes.
