Scrapbook a Favorite Recipe!

Hey there Echo Park friends and fans, Becki here. Have you seen the Happiness is Homemade collection? If you haven't, I have a treat for you! This is the most adorable kitchen themed collection. When this collection landed on my doorstep I was inspired to document some of our family's favorite recipes. Hands down our most used family recipe is for "Rosemary Rolls". I've been making this recipe for years. I've adapted it many times and have finally perfected the recipe and made it a family favorite. (I'll share the recipe at the end of this post.)

 

This layout came together very simply with the focal point of the layout being the handwritten recipe. It was important to me for this recipe to be written in my handwriting even if it took up a lot of space. I pieced together three recipe cards from the 4x6 journaling cards patterned paper to make one big recipe card.

To the left of the recipe I added a 4x4 photo of my Rosemary Rolls. Below the photo I added a cluster of stickers.

My favorite embellishments on the layout are the white doilies above and below the photo/journaling box. I adhered coordinating buttons in the center of each doily. I tucked the doilies under the border strips and under the journaling/photo box. I cut the doilies out of white cardstock and the Happiness is Homemade collection.

Rosemary Rolls

2 C warm whole milk

2T yeast

1/4 c sugar

2t salt

1/3 c butter (melted)

kosher salt

fresh chopped rosemary

directions:

warm milk and butter, add sugar and yeast. allow yeast mixture to foam. Stir in egg and salt. add flour a little bit at a time until a soft dough forms. Allow dough to rise for 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Form rolls on a floured surface. place rolls on a buttered baking sheet. cover rolls and allow to rise for 1 - 1 1/2 hours. drizzle rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with rosemary and kosher salt.

bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes until tops of rolls are golden brown. Drizzle with melted butter when rolls come out of the oven and serve warm.

 

I LOVE how this layout came together. I can't wait to use this collection to document even more of our family's favorite recipes. Thank you for stopping by the Echo Park blog today. I'll see you again soon!
