Carnival of the Recipes and a Correction
I am mortified.
The recipe for oatmeal fried chicken chunks that I published on the 10th and was linked and Insta-echoed by Carnival of the Recipes today, the 15th, contained a mistake. Now, someone making it might have guessed the dry incredients were short and adjusted, or it might have barely stretched and seemed fine. However, it was not what I cooked, and would not have given you the look and flavor of what I made that came out so good.
I had typed 1 cup of Bisquick and 1 cup of oatmeal. It’s a two to one ratio, at least, with the oatmeal the primary. I used two cups of oatmeal. If I were cutting to reduce the amount leftover and possibly improve the coating, I would reduce the Bisquick, It comes out fine, for instance, at 1.5 cups of oatmeal and half a cup of Bisquick, but I seem to run short of coating every time I make it, so I upped both of them.
My apologies if anyone tried making it with lousy results.
Ith had asked me if flour could substitute for Bisquick. When I made a guess that it probably could, I was thinking in terms of the high ratio of oatmeal. If I had to make it that way, I’d probably go half a cup of flour to two cups or so of oatmeal. I can’t imagine it working with a cup of flour to a cup of oatmeal. Or not as nicely, anyway.
As implied here, Carnival of the Recipes is up! It’s hosted by One Happy Dog Speaks, who did a nice job, including navigation links to individual categories within the post. Very cool.
