Making Your Cannabutter

Prior to making edibles with Redwood Reserves Carolina Dream CBD Flower, you need to make an infused butter, aka “cannabutter”.  Measure out about 2 cups of flower buds and sprinkle them on a baking sheet lined in parchment paper.  Bake at 250 degrees for about 25 minutes to decarboxylate, or “activate” the cannabinoids.

Now, coarsely grind the flower.  Meanwhile, place two sticks of unsalted butter into a saucepan with a cup of water, and then throw the flower in there.  Simmer for about 2 and a half hours without ever letting it reach a boil.  Then, strain the butter to remove the bits of bud, and place in a jar.  This butter can last for up to 6 months in the refrigerator.

Blondies

There really is nothing quite like a moist, chewy blondie to act as the perfect alternative to the more ubiquitous brownie.  These blondies use chocolate chips, but you can switch them out for white chocolate chips, coconut flakes or toasted nuts.

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup cannabutter, softened at room temperature
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and line a 9x13inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Beat together the butter and sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Then, beat in the egg and vanilla.
3. Gradually whisk in the flower, followed by the baking powder and salt. Beat on low until a batter forms.
4. Fold in the chocolate chips.
5. Pour the batter into your tray evenly. Bake for 30 minutes.  Allow it to rest for 30 minutes before slicing it into squares.

Banana Bread

Banana bread is the perfect treat for any time of day.  It’s just as tasty as a breakfast as it is an after-dinner dessert.  This banana bread has that fluffy texture and rich banana taste that always hits the spot.

Ingredients:

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup cannabutter, softened at room temperature
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 3 very ripe bananas, mashed into a paste
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Whisk in the eggs, followed by the bananas and vanilla.
4. Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture, whisking until you get a smooth batter.
5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the bread comes out clean.

Sugar Cookies

There’s never a bad time for a sugar cookie, and our sugar cookie recipe gives you the perfect rich and buttery cookie taste, which can be enjoyed on its own or decorated to your heart’s content for a special occasion.

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup cannabutter, softened at room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 ½ tsp vanilla
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt

Preparation:

1. Cream together the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla.
2. In another mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Then, slowly beat the dry ingredients into the wet ingredient mixture, beating just until the dough comes together.
3. Cover the dough with saran wrap and chill overnight. The next day, liberally flour your rolling surface and rolling pin, and roll out the dough to about ¼ inches of thickness evenly.  Use a cookie cutter to cut out individual cookies
4. Bake the cookies for about 18-20 minutes, or until the edges just start to brown. Allow them to cool for an hour if you plan to decorate.

Garlic Bread

For a savory treat, there’s nothing as easy as garlic bread, which pairs well with just about any dinner – although it’s so tasty, you may just want to eat it straight out of the oven, and we can hardly blame you.

Ingredients:

• 1 large loaf of Italian bread, sliced into 1-inch slices
• 1/2 cup cannabutter
• About one head of garlic, peeled and minced
• Salt to taste

Preparation:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
2. In a small pan, add the garlic and butter. Stir while the butter melts, and keep the heat at medium.  Allow the garlic to soften before removing from the heat.
3. Lay out each slice of bread on the pan. Take a kitchen brush and use it to brush the individual bread slices in the garlic and butter mixture. 
4. Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the bread has turned golden-brown.

Cheddar Scones

We usually think of scones as a sweet treat to have with high tea.  But these cheddar scones are deliciously savory, and a great alternative to bread when you’re serving soup.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ¼ cup cannabutter, chilled and diced into cubes
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup cream
• 6 ounces grated cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup chopped chives

Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt with a beater. Then, add the butter in slowly, keeping the speed on low.
3. Whisk together the cream and eggs in a small bowl, and then pour them into the dough mixture while still beating. Then, mix in the cheese and chives until the dough just comes together.
4. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead until the dough becomes fluffy and no longer sticky. Roll the dough out to about an inch in thickness, and simply cut into wedges or use a biscuit cutter to cut circles.
5. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the scones turn golden-brown.
