Southern Biscuits

Yummy

* 2 cups flour
* 4 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 2 tablespoons shortening
* 1 cup buttermilk, chilled

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using your fingertips, rub butter and shortening into dry ingredients until mixture looks like crumbs. (The faster the better, you don't want the fats to melt.) Make a well in the center and pour in the chilled buttermilk. Stir just until the dough comes together. The dough will be very sticky.

Turn dough onto floured surface, dust top with flour and gently fold dough over on itself 5 or 6 times. Press into a 1-inch thick round. Cut out biscuits with a 2-inch cutter, being sure to push straight down through the dough. Place biscuits on baking sheet so that they just touch. Reform scrap dough, working it as little as possible and continue cutting. (Biscuits from the second pass will not be quite as light as those from the first, but hey, that's life.)

Bake until biscuits are tall and light gold on top, 15 to 20 minutes

Portugese Sweet Bread

A good bread, not quite the sweetened flavor I am looking for, but it is good. The bread was sliced and eaten too quickly pictures didn't get taken this time.

* 1 cup milk
* 1 egg
* 2 tablespoons margarine
* 1/3 cup white sugar
* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 3 cups bread flour
* 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast


DIRECTIONS

1. Add ingredients in order suggested by your manufacturer of your bread machine.
2. Select "sweet bread" setting.

Ever since going to Hawaii and having sweet bread in a local bakery I fell in love with it. I haven't found a recipe that has turned out yet, but still looking.

Chocolate Zuccini Cake

Courtesy of My Baking Addiction
Adapted From: King Arthur Flour

Ingredients for the cake…
1/2 cup (1 stick, 4 ounces) butter
1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) vegetable oil
1 3/4 cups (12 1/4 ounces) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup (4 ounces) sour cream or yogurt
2 1/2 cups (10 1/2 ounces) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
3/4 cup (2 1/4 ounce) Dutch-Process Cocoa
2 teaspoons espresso powder, optional but tasty (I left this out)
2 cups shredded zucchini (about one 10" zucchini, about 12 ounces)
1/2 cup (3 ounces) chocolate chips

For the ganache…
6 ounces of heavy cream
9 ounces of chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet)

**NOTE/CONVERSION: If you are using regular natural cocoa powder, add and additional 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda!

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 9" x 13" pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, oil, sugar, vanilla, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat in the eggs.Stir in the sour cream or yogurt alternately with the flour. Then add the cocoa and espresso powder, mixing till smooth. Finally, fold in the zucchini and 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
3. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake for 30 to 35 minutes, till the top springs back lightly when touched, and it seems set. Cool on a rack. Yield: 24 servings.

To prepare the frosting, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips. Wait 3-5 minutes then stir to combine. It may take a few minutes of stirring for the ganache to come together… but it will :) It will thicken as it cools… when warm (but not hot) pour over cake and smooth with offset spatula. Allow frosting to set for about 30 minutes before serving.

Fresh Fruit Edible Arrangement

Pretty much pick your favorite fruits in season and use cookie cutters, mellon ballers, decorative cutters, and knives to achieve variety in flowerish shapes. Attach the fruits to kabob scewers using a longer and a shorter to give different lengths.

Special Notes:
I wish I had looked at my sample while actually putting together my arrangement. I would have attached the flower pieces of fruit on an angle instead of putting it in the side. I looked online for samples to follow using Eddible Arrangements and it brought up a bunch. The mount for the scewers I used was a Granny smith apple dipped in lemon juice. It was a great firm foundation and gave great support. Using a taller container to put them in also rather than shorter is good. This is my first attempt at something like this and It was tall and the sticks were in full view. Play around with this when it isn't for a special occasion and then you can spike the fruit pieces more than once to adjust if necessary to achieve the look you want then when the real occasion comes you will have worked out the flaws.

Make your own Butterfinger bars

Listed at ask.com as Nutterfingers
Homemade version top pictured with real Butterfinger bottom

Not even close to a butterfinger so go into it expecting something different. They were okay. Kids were thoroughly disappointed since they LOVE Butterfingers. I'll have to keep looking. However I did make the mistake of not adding the Corn Syrup until after it reached 300 degrees and I wonder if it made that much of a difference because mine weren't the texture nor hardness of a butterfinger. I recommend not doubling just to make sure you like it first.

These candy bars are covered with chocolate and filled with a light peanut center that shatters into thin, crispy layers when you bite into it. They resemble the popular Butterfingers candy bar. This recipe yields 10 4-inch bars, but can be easily doubled and made in a 9x13 pan.

Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup light corn syrup
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 pound chocolate candy coating
Preparation:
1. Prepare an 8x8 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Place the peanut butter, baking soda, and vanilla in a small bowl and set aside for now.

3. Place the sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves. Bring the sugar syrup to a boil, and stir in the corn syrup. Insert a candy thermometer.

4. Continue to cook the syrup, boiling it without stirring, until it reaches 300 degrees on the thermometer. Watch the pan carefully, as the sugar can quickly rise in temperature and burn at such high heat.

5. Once it candy reaches 300 degrees, immediately remove it from the heat. Quickly stir in the peanut butter, baking soda, and vanilla and stir until it is smooth.

6. Pour the candy into the prepared 8x8 pan, and allow it to sit for about two minutes minutes. While it is still warm and pliant, take a large knife and score it into ten pieces: make a cut down the center, then cut each half into five pieces, for a total of 10 candy bars. Allow the candy to set at room temperature, for at least 4 hours or overnight.

7. Once the peanut candy is completely set and firm, prepare the chocolate for dipping. Place the chocolate candy coating in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave it until melted, stirring after every minute to prevent overheating. Stir the melted chocolate and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to cool it slightly. Line a baking sheet with foil and set it nearby.

8. While the chocolate is cooling, carefully cut or break the peanut candy into bars along the scored lines.

9.Using two forks or dipping tools, submerge one bar in the melted chocolate. Remove the bar from the chocolate, allowing the excess chocolate to drip back down into the bowl. Place the dipped bar on the foil-lined sheet. Repeat the dipping with the remaining bars and chocolate, and place the bars in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set the chocolate. Once set, the bars can be served immediately. Store remaining bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

The Perfect Pound Cake

Well don't go by the name it is truly hard to class something as perfect, but a pound cake this is. I found the outside to be a little dry. I acquired the recipe from http://sweetmelissasundays.wordpress.com/ and you can go there for the complete text if you wish.

In large bowl combine:
3 eggs room temperature
1 cup sugar
whip until smooth

In medium bowl combine:
1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
wisk until well blended

In small bowl combine:
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 1/2 tsp vanilla

Melt and cool to warm:
6 Tbsp unsalted butter

Take 1/3 of the flour and sift onto the egg mixture and wisk in gently until blended then pour 1/2 of the cream mixture and again mix until blended, repeat until flour and cream are mixed in. Be careful not to overbeat and add in the butter gently folding. Once well blended pour into greased and floured loaf pan or other baking pan.

Bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven for 50 minutes. If doing mini cakes cut time in half.

German Chocolate Frosting

YUMMY! This is from the Lion House Cookbook
1 cup can milk
1/2 cup butter
3 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 tsp rum extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups coconut (flaked)

Rainbow Birthday Cake

Courtesy of The Hungry Huntley's

1 yellow cake mix (follow directions on package)
Food coloring (I used the type for frosting so it didn't add more liquid to batter)
1 pkg skittles (for the rainbow)
1 cup miniature marshmallows (for the clouds)

If you use 6" cake pans and a muffin tin you will only need 1 cake mix.

Seperate batter into bowls for the desired amount of colors and color each bowl with the color to the depth you desire with food coloring

Pour into greased 6" cake pans. Decrease cooking time to aproximately 10 minutes.

When each layer is cooled frost them and stack in your desired order. Freeze after all stacked which will make frosting the outside much easier.

Place the skittles in a rainbow pattern on top of cake and use remaining ones around the top edge of the cake. Marshmallows are placed at the bottom of the rainbow and on the cupcakes.

Churros

Mix in saucepan and boil
1 cup water
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup butter

Remove from heat and add
1 cup flour

In seperate bowl mix:
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup sugar
add this to the flour mixture and stir until smooth.

Place in a cookie press or a decorating bag with the largest star tip.
Squeeze a 4" length of dough into hot oil and fry until golden on each side. Place on paper towel and while still warm sprinkle with cinnamin and sugar.

Spanish Rice

2 cups long grain white rice
1/4 cup oil (to give more flavor fry in 2 to 3 Tbsp jalepeno olive oil instead)
1 yellow onion chopped
3 cloves garlic
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 8 oz can tomato sauce or 3/4 cups pureed tomatoes
2 tsp sea salt

Brown rice in hot oil, add garlic and onion and saute 10 min. Add broth, tomato sauce, and salt stir well and allow to simmer on low heat aprox 15 to 20 minutes to thicken.

Bottled Peaches

Sugar Syrup equal ratio water to sugar
7 cups sugar
7 cups boiling water
Pour the sugar into the boiling water, remove from heat and stir until dissolved. Pour 2 1/2 inches deep into the quart jar. (after jars are full of peaches pour to cover the top peaches leaving about 1 inch of space at the top of the jar)

1. Assemble and clean quart jars with the narrow neck. Set out on counter.
2. Clean and peel fresh ripe peaches. (a 5 gallon bucket full of medium size peaches does aprox. 14 jars which is 2 batches)
3. Slice in half and place halved peaches into clean jars filled 2 1/2 inches w/ sugar syrup.
4. Place as many peaches in the jar leaving only 1 inch space at the top and make sure top peaches with the liquid.
5. Wipe the rim of the jars with a clean moist paper towel making sure they are clean.
6. Boil canning lids for 2 minutes and remove from water with tongs then place them on to each bottle. Turn the ring lids on till they tighten then loosen a half a turn to allow for expansion as they cook.
7. Fill bottom of canner with luke warm water not to the top.
9. Place the metal platfrom onto canner and place 7 jars on that making sure not to cover the holes allowing for even steam movement. Put the cover over the jars and start the heat high.
10. Watch for the steam to escape from the small hole at the base of the lid. Once this happens turn down the heat to the point where it is the lowest for the steam to still come out steady and time for 25 minutes.
11. After 20 minutes carefully remove the lid and remove the hot jars with hot pads taking concern to not bump the lids which will hinder the jars ability to seal.
12. Allow jars to sit on the counter as they cool. The jars will make a popping noise as the lid seals. You can test them after they cool by touching down gently on the lids if there is no give the lid is sealed. If there is give to the lid you will need to place those jars in the refrigerator and eat soon.
13. Store jars in a cool dry place for up to 2 years. Fruit may darken with time and they are still okay to eat as long as seal hasn't been broken.
14. The peaches will rise in the jar leaving the syrup at the bottom.

waffle cone/bowl

1 egg
1 egg white
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup flour
2 Tbsp melted butter

Mix all together until smooth. This is a thick batter. Would be easiest if you have a hot iron(like a waffle iron) designed for making these. I don't have one (yet). So I used a frying pan. Make sure pan is hot before putting batter in it. Spread thin with the back of your spoon (this was a tricky thing as the batter is very thick and slips easily in the pan). Cook on each side until golden brown. Roll into cone shape or place on bottom of muffin tin to form into a bowl. Let cool completely and enjoy with a scoop or tow of icecream.

Ice cream sandwich cookie

Our Best Chocolate Cheesecake

from Bakers our best desserts for chocolate lovers
Crust:
1 1/2 cups crushed oreo chocolate sandwich cookies (18 cookies w/ cream)

Cheesecake:
3 pkg (8oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 pkg (8 squares) semi-sweet baking chocolate which also equals 1 cup choc. chips
3 eggs, beaten

Preheat oven to 325 degrees using a silver 9-inch springform pan or 300 degrees if using dark non-stick pan. Press crushed cookie crumbs into bottom of lightly greased pan. If using butter bake for 10 min.

Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add chocolate; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. pour over crust.

Bake 45 to 55 min until center is almost set. Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim of pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Top with powdered sugar and raspberries, if desired.

Pinwheel Cookies

1 cup sugar
8 oz softened cream cheese
3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 stick)
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 cup flour

Blend the first 4 ingredients in mixer until smooth and well blended.

Add
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 1/4 cups flour

After these are mixed in well seperate dough in to 2 halves and to one half add

2 squares baking chocolate (melted)

Place each dough ball wrapped in fridge for 30 minutes.

Roll out onto wax paper until 1/4 in thick and each rectangle is the same size as the other 10 x 8-inch. Take one and place it on top of the other and roll them together tightly. Recover and place in the fridge for 1 hour. Remove the protective covering and slice the cookie dough 1/4 inch thick and place on greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees for aprox 10 to 15 min. Let cool on cookie sheet.

Fondant with marshmallows and powdered sugar

1 bag minature marshmallows (melted)
powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla or almond extract

melt the marshmallows, stir until smooth and cool enough to touch. Add powdered sugar in portions until the mixture becomes workable with your hands.

I would recommend stirring until it comes together to the point you can't anymore to avoid this.
Then pick up the ball and keep working in the powdered sugar until it is not longer sticky and you can easily roll it out with a rolling pin. Cut and shape and place on your cake.

Slime

Supplies:

School Glue (Clear or White)
Water
Borax solution (1/2 cup borax to 1 liter water, best mixed in an empty pop bottle)
Food coloring
popcycle sticks

Directions:

Pour aprox 1/4 to 1/2 cup glue into a disposable plastic cup.
Pour aprox 1/4 to 1/2 cup water into the glue so you have the same amount as the glue.
Put in a few drops of food coloring.
Add only a very small amout at a time of the borax solution and stir, the solution will soon start to thicken and adhere to the stirring stick.

The original link for this I found through Amy. I added just small amounts at a time of the borax as needed while stirring until it was the right consistency. You will want to stop while it is still sticky as you roll with your hands the slime forms nicely and what was once stuck on your skin works itself back into the main ball of slime you are now holding.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge to prolong its stability.

My first attempt I used the 1/2 and 1/2 however, I did the borax saturated water and it thickened really stiff and was kind of a bouncy ball except broke really easily when bounced a few times. Here's what it looked like. So don't make that same mistake.
