Recipes

Cooking with cannabis is a fat substitution — you swap butter for cannabutter and the rest is ordinary cooking. So every recipe here stores the fat it needs and the dose it targets, and works out the split once it knows how strong your oil is.

BreakfastStandard

Biscuits and sausage gravy

Buttermilk biscuits under a peppery milk gravy built on sausage drippings. The gravy thickens on the stove with plain fat, and the infused butter is stirred in at the end off the heat.

BreakfastStandard

Blueberry scones

Cold butter, a light hand and two folds are what separate a flaky scone from a sweet biscuit. Infused butter straight from the refrigerator behaves like any other cold butter here.

SnackStandard

Caramel corn

Baked low to set the caramel, then finished with infused butter off the heat. Most versions stir the infusion into boiling caramel and then bake it for 45 minutes, which throws away a good share of what you made.

Carrot cake cupcakes

Cupcakes solve the portioning problem a layer cake creates, and putting the infusion in the cream cheese frosting solves the heat problem — frosting is never cooked, so nothing is lost on the way.

MainStandard

Chicken parmesan

A full dinner rather than a dessert. The chicken is fried and baked at temperatures no infusion survives, so the dose rides in the sauce that goes on top.

DessertStandard

Lemon bars

Shortbread base carrying the dose, sharp lemon curd on top. The infusion lives in the crust, which bakes gently, rather than in a custard that sets at a higher temperature.

DessertStandard

Pecan pie

Corn syrup holds the sugar in solution so the filling sets clear and chewy instead of grainy. Cooling the sugar mixture before the eggs and butter go in is not optional — hot syrup scrambles egg on contact.

DessertStandard

Pumpkin pie

Custard pie, which means eggs set it and eggs will crack it if it goes past done. Pull it while the middle still wobbles and let carryover finish the job on the counter.

DessertStandard

S'mores bars

Graham cookie base, a layer of chocolate, marshmallows browned under the broiler. The broiler is the only real risk in the recipe — marshmallow goes from toasted to black in about fifteen seconds.
