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.

DessertStandard

Apple crisp

Oat streusel over apples firm enough to hold their shape — Granny Smith or Braeburn, not a soft eating apple that collapses into sauce. Baked in ramekins, which takes the guesswork out of serving it.

BreakfastStandard

Banana nut muffins

Muffin-method batter mixed by hand in one bowl, with bananas dark enough that the skins are mostly black. A high opening oven temperature is what gives the tops their dome.

Belgian waffles

Deep-pocket waffles leavened with baking powder and lightened with whipped whites. Crispness comes from a fully preheated iron and leaving the lid shut until the steam slows down.

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.

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.

Brown butter chocolate chip cookies

The standard creamed-butter drop cookie, with the butter browned first. Browning drives off water and deepens the flavor enough to cover any grassiness in the infusion.

Brown sugar shortbread

The classic one-two-three ratio: one part sugar, two parts butter, three parts flour. Almost half of it is butter, which makes it one of the most efficient carriers on the site.

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.

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.

BreakfastStandard

Chocolate chip muffins

An oil-based muffin, which makes it one-bowl and forgiving. Portioned into a pan with twelve equal wells, which is the easiest even dosing you can get from a baked good.

Chocolate sheet cake

A thin sheet cake cut into a grid, which makes it the easiest cake to dose accurately. The frosting carries the infusion so none of it goes through the oven.

Cinnamon rolls

Soft enriched rolls where the infusion lives in the cinnamon filling instead of the dough. The filling is shielded by the dough around it, and rolling a spiral spreads it across every roll evenly.

DessertStandard

Fudgy one-bowl brownies

A high-fat, low-flour brownie that bakes dense rather than cakey. The cocoa does most of the work of hiding the infusion.

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

Lemon pound cake

Olive oil in place of butter gives a loaf that stays moist for the better part of a week and a faint bitterness that sits well against lemon. Zest carries the flavor — the aromatic oils are all in the peel.

New York cheesecake

Water bath, low oven and a slow cool-down are the three things standing between you and a cracked top. The infusion sits in the graham crust, where it spreads flat and portions with the slice.

DessertStandard

Oatmeal raisin cookies

Old-fashioned rolled oats hold their shape and give the cookie its chew; quick oats dissolve into the dough and leave it cakey. Plumping the raisins first stops them pulling moisture out of the crumb.

Olive oil banana bread

An oil-based loaf rather than a creamed-butter one, which makes it forgiving, one-bowl, and easy to slice into even portions.

DessertStandard

Peanut butter cookies

Four ingredients plus flour, and the fork marks are structural rather than decorative — the dough barely spreads, so the thickness you press is the thickness you bake. Roasted peanut covers an infusion better than almost anything.

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.

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.

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.

DessertStandard

Seven layer bars

Sweetened condensed milk is glue and sweetener at once, caramelizing as it bakes and binding the layers into a slab. Everything above the crust is topping, which keeps the dose in the one layer you can measure.
