It’s hard to believe that November is here already! Other than the fall colors it’s hardly felt like fall in the least. Nevertheless, the months keep turning over and life keeps on a steady pace.
November subscriptions open today and I’m excited to bake for you this month! Here’s what you can find from Hillsdale Hearth in November:
November 7th offers a sourdough sandwich-style loaf that I’ll make with 100% freshly milled grains. This particular loaf is a mix of whole wheat and spelt, and it’s absolutely delightful. It would be a good one to stash in the freezer for leftover turkey sandwiches later this month.
November 14th will bring something sweet – sourdough cinnamon sugar knots. I’ve made these with chocolate and raspberry in the past, but fall seems just the right time for the cinnamon sugar combination. These are delightfully sweet and a perfect treat for any time of day.
November 21st I will be making a rustic loaf studded with dried cranberries and pecans. This loaf is as delicious as it is beautiful! It’s lovely as toast, or to serve alongside of soup, and it can stand on its own as an appetizer.
For Thanksgiving week I plan to have orders ready on Wednesday, November 27th. I will be making sourdough pumpkin dinner rolls – light, fluffy, tender, and so beautiful! I’ll also be making buttermilk lemon & apricot scones. These will be great for a light Friday morning breakfast when everyone needs to eat, but no one wants to prepare any more food!
House sourdough loaves are available each Thursday in November except for Thanksgiving week. Those loaves will also be ready for pickup on Wednesday, November 27th. Subscribers will receive several buttermilk biscuits with their first week’s pickup in November. I love a good biscuit – it goes with everything and rounds out simple meals in a perfect way. They can be savory or sweet, equally as good with butter and jam (or strawberries and cream!) as they are dipped in a hearty beef stew. I hope you’ll like these as much as we do!
