* 1 cup warm milk
* 2 large eggs, at room temperature
* 1/3 cup melted butter
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 4 + 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus a little extra to lightly flour pastry board)

Ingredients For Filling

Ingredients For Icing

* 1 stick unsalted butter (8 tablespoons)\*
* 1/4 cup cream cheese
* 1 + 1/2 cups powdered sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 + 1/2 teaspoons pure Mexican vanilla (or regular vanilla extract)

### \_\_\_\_Instructions\_\_\_\_

Instructions for Dough

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve yeast in warm milk until lightly foamy.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until combined.
3. Attach the bowl to the mixer along with the dough hook. Kneed the dough for about 4 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth.
4. Grease a clean mixing bowl with butter. Transfer the dough to the buttered bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Allow dough to rise undisturbed for one hour or until doubled in size.

Instructions for Filling

1. Generously grease one rectangular baking dish (or two square bakers) with butter. Put aside.
2. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar together. Transfer the mixture to a sugar shaker (this will eliminate any lumps from the brown sugar). Put aside.
3. Transfer the dough to a clean pastry board lightly dusted with flour. Roll out the dough into a rectangle that's approximately 12 inches X 16 inches.
4. With a spatula, spread the softened butter evenly over the dough. Using the sugar shaker, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
5. From the long end, carefully roll the dough into a log. With a knife or floss, cut the dough into 12 cinnamon rolls. Transfer cinnamon rolls to the buttered baking dish, leaving enough space in between.
6. Cover the baking dish with a towel. Allow cinnamon rolls to rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
7. Adjust your oven rack to the middle position. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
8. Uncover the cinnamon rolls. Tent the baking dish with foil. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 15 minutes with the foil tent. Remove the foil tent and bake for another 10 minutes or until cinnamon rolls are lightly golden brown. (Total baking time - approximately 25 minutes.)
9. Prepare the icing while the cinnamon rolls are baking.

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, whip the butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, salt and vanilla until light and fluffy.
2. Using an icing spatula, frost the baked cinnamon rolls with icing while they're still warm.

### Notes

Apple Pie Recipe

Here is a recipe for... **Apple Pie**.

\_\_\_Ingredients\_\_\_:

* 2 batches of the one minute homemade pie crust (or 1 if you roll it out very thinly!)
* 7-8 small granny smith apples, peeled, sliced, and cored
* 1 stick butter
* 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
* 1/4 cup water
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1 heaping tsp cinnamon
* 1/4 tsp nutmeg
* 1 tsp vanilla

1). Place the peeled, cored, and sliced apples in a large bowl. Set aside.

2). Preheat oven to 425F.

3). In a medium sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the 3 tbsp of flour and mix well, forming a paste. Add the water, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla and mix well. Bring to a boil for 1 minute, then reduce heat to a simmer for an additional minute.

4). Remove from heat and reserve about 1/3 cup of filling for pie crust. Add remaining filling to apples. Toss well.

5). Pour apples into prepared pie crust, mounding slightly. Top with second pie crust (lattice design, etc). Brush the remaining 1/3 cup caramel filling over the crust.

6). Cover the pie loosely with aluminum foil. I lightly spray the foil so it does not stick to the pie. Place the pie on top of a cookie sheet (to catch any drips) and bake at 425F for 10-12 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350F and bake for another 50 minutes (remove the foil the last 10 minutes to let the crust brown), or until done.  The pie is done when the crust is golden-brown and the apples are soft when pierced with a fork.

7). Allow the pie to cool before serving. Enjoy!

*Serves: 8-10 people.*
Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes

### \_\_\_\_\_Directions\_\_\_\_\_\_

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). \*Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl combine 1 and 3/4 cups of the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a separate bowl combine the sour cream, milk, and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice; whisk well to combine and set aside. Place blueberries in a small bowl; add remaining lemon juice and toss to coat the berries; add remaining flour and toss to coat the berries in the flour; set aside.
3. In a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds. Add in the granulated sugar and lemon extract (if using) and beat until well combined. Add in the egg and egg yolk and mix well. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add in 1/2 of the flour mixture and mix until just combined (this should take about 5 seconds). Add 1/2 of the sour cream mixture and mix until just combined. Repeat with remaining flour and sour cream mix, being sure to mix on low until just combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the floured blueberries (and any excess flour in the bowl) and lemon zest.
4. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 16-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cupcakes are cool, frost and decorate. The cupcakes may also be frozen, unfrosted and stored in a freezer safe bag, for up to 2 months.
5. Top each frosted cupcake with a pinch of lemon zest and extra blueberries, optional but pretty!

### Notes

You will have enough batter to make 15 cupcakes. Cupcakes may be frozen, unfrosted and stored properly, for two months. Fresh or frozen blueberries may be used, if using frozen, do not thaw first. Lemon extract is optional, but recommended if you want a very lemony cupcake.

* ⅔ c. milk (whole, low-fat or skim)
* ½ c. pumpkin puree
* 1½ tsp. vanilla extract
* 1 tsp ground cinnamon
* 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
* 12 slices Texas toast, french bread, challah, croissant halves

### For the Whipped pumpkin butter

* ½ c. (1 stick), salted or unsalted butter, room temperature
* ⅓ c. pumpkin puree
* 3 tbsp. maple syrup or honey
* 1 tsp. vanilla extract
* ½ tsp. cinnamon
* ½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice

## Directions

1. Set a large non-stick skillet set over medium heat, add a small amount of butter and melt.
2. In a rectangular baking dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.
3. Dip the bread into the mixture, flip sides and then place on the hot skillet. Cook until each side is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Repeat with remaining ingredients, serve hot with whipped pumpkin butter, maple syrup and toasted chopped nuts (if desired).
4. To make the pumpkin butter, in a small mixing bowl, add the softened butter and beat with a hand mixer for 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup or honey, vanilla, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. Beat for an additional minute or until fluffy. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

### Notes

-I've made the whipped pumpkin butter with both honey and maple syrup. I prefer maple syrup when using it on pancakes, waffles and french toast, and honey when using it on rolls. Feel free to use whichever you prefer!

-If you like your french toast on the sweeter side, add 1 tbsp. of brown sugar to the mixture.

Homemade Salted Caramel Recipe

This is a recipe on how to make salted caramel right from your own home

\_\_\_\_Ingredients\_\_\_\_:

* 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
* 6 Tablespoons (90 g) salted butter, room temperature cut up into 6 pieces
* 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
* 1 teaspoon salt

\_\_\_\_Directions\_\_\_\_\_:

1. Heat granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a high heat resistant rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
2. Sugar will form clumps and eventually melt into a thick brown, amber-colored liquid as you continue to stir. Be careful not to burn.
3. Once sugar is completely melted, immediately add the butter. Be careful in this step because the caramel will bubble rapidly when the butter is added.
4. Stir the butter into the caramel until it is completely melted, about 2-3 minutes. A whisk helps if you find the butter is separating from the sugar.
5. Very slowly, drizzle in 1/2 cup of heavy cream while stirring. Since the heavy cream is colder than the caramel, the mixture will rapidly bubble and/or splatter when added.
6. Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute. It will rise in the pan as it boils.
7. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of salt. Allow to cool down before using.
8. **Make ahead tip:** You can make this caramel in advance. Make sure it is covered tightly and store it for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Warm the caramel up for a few seconds before using in a recipe. This caramel is OK at room temperature for a day if you're traveling or gifting it.

**Enjoy!!!**

How to Make Rosemary Dinner Rolls

\_\_\_\_Rosemary Dinner Rolls\_\_\_\_

Yield: 1 dozen rolls

Prep Time: 25 Minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 2 hours

\_\_\_\_Ingredients\_\_\_\_\_

* 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
* 1/2 cup warm water , 110 degrees
* 3 Tbsp sugar , divided
* 3/4 cup milk , warmed to about 80 degrees
* 1 large egg
* 3 Tbsp unsalted butter , softened
* 3 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
* 1 1/2 tsp salt
* 1 Tbsp whisked egg , for brushing rolls
* 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour , then more as needed
* Good quality extra-virgin olive oil and freshly ground black pepper

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_Instructions\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

1. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer whisk together yeast with water and 1/2 tsp of the granulated sugar. Rest 5 minutes. Set mixer with paddle attachment and mix in remaining sugar (2 Tbsp + 2 1/2 tsp) milk, egg, butter, rosemary and salt on low speed (the butter won't blend until the flour is mixed it). Add 2 cups of flour and mix on low speed until combined, then switch to a hook attachment, set mixer on low speed and slowly add in remaining 1 1/2 cups flour. Allow mixture to knead on medium-low speed until smooth and elastic, adding more flour as needed (you shouldn't need more than an additional 1/4 - 1/2 cup, dough should be slightly sticky. If too much flour is added rolls will be dense and heavy).
2. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and rest 15 minutes. Meanwhile butter a 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Punch dough down and divide into 12 equal portions, shape each into a ball (I like to pull the sides down and tuck under several times then make into a ball shape). Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place about 45 - 60 minutes until nearly doubled. Preheat oven to 350 during last 10 minutes of dough rising.
3. Gently brush tops of rolls evenly with 1 Tbsp whisked egg. Bake in preheated oven until tops are golden brown, about 23 - 26 minutes. Serve warm, reheat before serving as necessary.

Enjoy!

Henrietta

Henrietta is a coach that travels with Toby, Victoria and Elsie. Percy or Daisy usually take her when Toby is absent. Thomas and Emily have also pulled her. She has a sister named Hannah.

## Bio

Henrietta: A coach who gives the party a lift. Strong but sweet, she's stacks of fun! It's all about the base!

## Personality

Henrietta is Toby's faithful coach, who likes to be full of passengers and take them on journeys. She does not like to be separated from Toby, although she rarely carries a full load of passengers. Henrietta is quite content with her life on the Island. Toby is attached to Henrietta and always takes her with him, as he says "she might be useful one day".

From the eighteenth season onwards, Henrietta is seen motivating and encouraging Toby when he feels nervous about the capabilities of his work and performance. She also encourages others and gives them good advice.

## Appearance

### Basis

Henrietta is based on the GER Wisbech and Upwell Tramway 4-wheel coach. From the beginning, the Wisbech & Upwell used its own special passenger stock. Initially, only four wheelers were used, but bogie coaches were introduced in 1884. The coaches had balconies at each end and a drawbridge type gangway between coaches. Each balcony had an emergency hand-brake wheel. The coaches looked squat and low-lying due to the need to handle raised track and the absence of platforms at some of the depots. All the four-wheeled coaches were scrapped by 1948, but the bogie coaches survived into BR. One of them, No.7, has been preserved by the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway Society.

Hannah is also based on this rolling stock.

Henrietta's basis
### Livery

In the Railway Series, Henrietta is painted brown with red bufferbeams and a grey roof. During her days with Toby on his old tramway, she was painted brown-orange with red bufferbeams and a white roof.

In the television series, Henrietta is painted brown-orange with red bufferbeams and a grey roof.

## Trivia

* Despite not having a visible face until Thomas and Victoria (in the Railway Series) and the eighteenth season (in the television series), she had the ability to talk in the Railway Series books that took place before Thomas and Victoria, as well as the first, second and third seasons.
* One of Henrietta's models is currently on display in Japan at the Hara Model Railway Museum (previously on display at Nitrogen Studios).
* In an annual story, it was revealed that Henrietta has one surviving sister left, being a bogie version of herself.
* Throughout the model series, Henrietta's buffers were at different levels at either end.
* Henrietta is one of three characters to have been given a face after a certain amount of seasons being without one, the other two being Big Mickey and Butch.
Cream Cheese Brownies

* 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cut into pieces)

* 4 Ounces unsweetened chocolate (coarsely chopped)

* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

* 1 and 1/4 cup of granulated white sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 1/2 Cup All purpose flour
* 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Glue Slime-Without Borax

**Ingredients:**

* School Glue (Clear or Normal)
* Shaving Cream
* Laundry Detergent (Tide or other)
* One bowl(Plastic or Paper work best)
* Something to mix with(preferably a spoon, or other utensil)
* Color (Acrylic Paint or Food Coloring/Dye) this is optional
* Glitter or Beads (Optional-Gives a bling to your slime)
* Spandex gloves (Optional- In case you don't want anything to get on your hands)

**To make about a handful of slime use:**

Use about 1/4 of a bottle of glue

Use about 1 cup of laundry detergent

A large dollop of shaving cream

The amount of paint or dye you use determines the shade of the color, so keep adding until you get the color you want

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_  **Steps on How to Make: (Note that the following recipe makes about a handful of slime)**

1. Pour the 1/4 of the glue into a bowl, and start mixing with your mixer(spoons or other utensil)

2. Once the glue is at a watery consistency, squirt in a large dollop of shaving cream.

3. Keep mixing until it is a watery yet more thick paste.

4. Gradually start adding small drops of your laundry detergent. Everytime after adding, mix the slime together.

Notice that the laundry detergent is making the mix more thick and slime-like.

5. In the middle of adding your laundry detergent, add the prefered amount of coloring. Remember not to add too much, as that might affect the consistency of the slime.

6. Keep adding small amounts of the laundry detergent, until the slime is thick enough, and can come off your spoon and bowl.

7. Once the slime gets off your bowl and spoon, you can pick it up and start squishing it with your hands.

Note that at this stage, the slime is very sticky and sticks to almost anything. A tip to cleaning up slime is touching it to itself. This works because slime sticks to itself.

8. Dip one of your fingers(you can wear gloves) into the cup of laundry detergent, and coat the slime with it as you squish.

9. Once the slime reaches a thick yet stretchy consistency that isn't too sticky, you are done!

Enjoy!

Store your slime in an airtight container, to maintain its consistency and moistness

**Notes:**

This slime is very similar to Silly Putty, so you can do a lot of the same things with it!
