BB Recipe Collection #2

Cool.. I get to post the first recipe

This is what I'm making tomorrow for my mom and her boyfriend (She can't cook).

Spicy Fried Chicken

Thaw chicken, whatever pieces are preferred
(I usually use boneless skinless breasts)

Crack eggs into a bowl and stir (usually 1 egg for every 2 pieces of chicken.. whatever works for you.)

Put tabasco sauce to taste into the eggs, and stir.

Fill a gallon-size ziplock bag about 1/3 - 1/2 full with flour.

Add, to taste, chili powder, red pepper, black pepper, and paprika to the flour.
(I also add just a little bit of garlic, because, hey, I put garlic on just about everything.)

Seal the bag and shake to combine the spices with the flour.

Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, then put in the flour bag.

Seal the bag, and shake until chicken is coated.

Fry.

 

EASY PISTACHIO CAKE

1 box white cake mix
4 eggs
1 cup water
1 cup cooking oil
3 small pkgs. instant pistachio pudding
1 10 oz. container of Cool Whip

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Combine cake mix, eggs, water, oil, and two pkgs. of pudding and mix well according to cake pkg instructions.

Pour batter into a non-stick or greased cake pan and bake 10 minutes at 275 degrees, another 10 minutes at 300 degrees, then 35 minutes at 325 degrees. The cake will be done when a knife, pushed into the center, comes out clean.

For topping, gradually add remaining pkg of pudding to the container of Cool Whip, spread on the cooled cake and refrigerate.

(Tips) For a fluffier cake, have all ingredients at room temperature, including the eggs (warm them in medium-hot water).

 

Dear All,
I have been loaned a recipe book for sweets ... it seems as if the book is of American origin and one item, which is frequently mentioned is light corn syrup I have tried , without any sucess to find this stuff, what is it ? and is there any alternative that I can use. Hope you can assist.

Light Syrup is clear in color. I buy Karo. It usually comes in a large round glass bottle. I'm not sure what you could substitute for it unless it would be regular syrup.

Here is a secret recipe, filled with love to you from me.
Keep it close to your heart for the days of gloom and ill start.
This recipe will help you many a day to keep the negativity away...



Ingredients:

1 cup Tension
2 cups Stress
1 1/2 teaspoons of Guilt
2 heaping cups of Limited Time
3/4 tablespoon of Urgency
A dash of "No Other Choice"
3 heaping cups of Faith



Directions:

Fold ingredients gently into a bowl.Mix vigorously and add a few tears. You'll sweat a little as you knead the dough. Pack it firmly between your hopes and dreams and form into a perfect little ball. Sprinkle it with a little faith, rolling the ball in the flour until fully covered.

Place it under a veil of belief and allow it to rise.

Put it in an oven that has been pre-set at the perfect temperature for the heat of trials and tribulations.

Allow it to brown under the warmth of God's love. Remove after due season and allow to cool in the confidence of His promise.

Garnish with your praises. Arrange neatly on a platter of thankfulness and serve to friends, families and, oh yes, strangers . . . invite them too!

Hello all, here is a great receipe for cinnamon buns, for your bread machine.

Dough:
1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
4 tbsp melted butter
4 tbsp water
Package vanilla instant pudding (4 servings)
4 cups bread flour
1 tbsp white sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/4 tsp bread machine yeast

Middle:
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon

Icing:
4oz. cream cheese, room temp
1/4 cup butter softened
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp milk
3 tbsp maple syrup

Directions:
In a bread machine pan, place the dough ingredients as shown above in the same order. Select the dough cycle.

When the cycle is finished remove the dough and knead for 3 to 5 minutes. Roll out to a 17x10 inch rectangle.

In a microwave safe bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Soften in the microwave for 10 seconds.
Spread over dough. Starting with the widest end, roll the dough into a log. Pinch to seam ends. Cut into 1/2 to 1 inch slices and place on a greased jelly roll sheet. Place in a draft free space and allow rising until doubled.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

to make icing: mix all ingredients together well. Spread over warm cinnamon buns.


Tip: I just butter the dough after rolling it out,and I don't heat up the brown sugar mixture, I just put it on spread it and roll, I do put lots of extra cinnamon on though,its up to you how much you want on, and I usually don't let them rise, cut and bake works great for me.
Oh yeah, and easy to cut when you use an electric knife!!

Ok, here goes my fancy schmancy put on your tall white hat and talk in a french accent recipe.
Use strong strawberry kool-aid instead of water in your pancake mix.
Phew! Can't believe I shared typed out that whole extensive recipe!
Gina

 

I found this in an OLD cook book and it sounded different, easy, quick and cheap. It could even be prepared earlier in the day. I haven't tried it yet, but I will!

SAUSAGE AND APPLE PATTIES

1 # bulk pork sausage
1 slice bread (broken in small pieces)
1 egg (beaten)
1/2 cup apple (grated)

Mix all ingredients together and shape into six patties about 3/4 inch thick. Place on rack in open pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until done.

 

CORNISH PASTRIES

6 ounces of hamburger or steak (ground)
1 cup raw potatoes (diced finely)
1/4 cup onion (chopped)
1 pkg. pastry mix (or the equivalent quantity of pie dough)
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients except pastry mix. Roll out dough and divide into 5-inch squares and on 1/2 of each square, place a little of the meat mixture. Fold the other half of the pastry over it; pinch down the edges, moistening them slightly and bake in 400 degree oven for 15 minutes; then reduce oven to 300 degrees and continue baking for 45-50 minutes.

 

CREAM CHEESE POTATOES

10 medium red potatoes (skins on or off)
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp. salt (more or less to taste)
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 Tbls. grated onion
1 cup scalded milk
1 8-oz pkg of cream cheese

Boil and whip potatoes. Add other ingredients. Put into greased pan and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. (glass pan, 325 degrees)

(It is easier to drain boiled potatoes, then add a cup of milk and scald. If desired, use fat-free cream cheese)
