Zwieback

2008-09-20T15:00:00.001-07:00

1 Package (2−1/4 teaspoons) active Dry yeast
1/4 Cup Plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 Cup Warm water
1 Cup Plus 2 Tablespoons milk
4 Tablespoon (1/2 stick) butter or Margarine
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
1/8 Teaspoon Ground mace
1/8 Teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1/8 Teaspoon Ground nutmeg
1 Egg, lightly beaten
3 3/4 Cup All−purpose flour
2 Tablespoon Butter, melted, for glazing
The method for making Zwieback is quite different from that for most other
crackers. "Zwieback" means "twice baked." First you bake a yeast bread,
aromatically flavored with nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, and mace. Then you
slice it and slowly dry the slices in a slow oven. For convenience, make the
bread over a two−day period. Bake the bread the first day and dry it the
second. If stored in an airtight container, Zwieback will keep almost
indefinitely. In a small bowl, combine the yeast with 1/2 teaspoon of the
sugar and the warm water. Set aside in a warm place until the mixture starts
to foam, about 5 to 10 minutes. In a small saucepan, mix the milk and the
remaining 1/4 cup of the sugar. Add the 4 Tablespoons butter and heat until
the butter has completely melted. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow
to cool to lukewarm. In a large bowl or in the food processor, combine the
cooled milk mixture with the yeast mixture. Stir in the vanilla. Add the
mace, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix well. Beat in the egg. Slowly add the
flour, adding just enough to make a smooth dough that is not sticky. If
mixing by hand, the dough will become too stiff to stir, and you should
knead in the last of the flour with your fingers. Then knead well for at
least 5 minutes, forming the dough into a ball. If using a food processor,
pulse until the dough comes together in a ball. Place the dough in a large,
lightly oiled bowl and turn it over to coat all sides. Cover with a damp
towel and set the dough in a warm place until it has doubled in bulk, about
1−1/2 to 2 hours. Punch the dough down and knead a few strokes. Cover and
allow the dough to double in size again, 30 to 45 minutes. Punch the dough
down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface or pastry cloth. Knead
about 30 seconds to remove the air. Divide the dough into 3 equal portions.
With your hands, roll each into a smooth cylinder or loaf about 2 inches
thick and 9 inches long. Place the loaves crosswise on a lightly greased or
parchment−lined baking sheet, leaving at least 3 inches between the loaves.
Brush all exposed surfaces of each loaf with the melted butter. Set the
baking sheet in a warm place and let the loaves rise until doubled in bulk,
about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375F. Bake the risen loaves for 25 to
30 minutes, or until the bottoms are reddish brown and make a hollow sound
when thumped. Allow the loaves to cool thoroughly on racks. Preheat the oven
to 200F. Cut the cooled loaves into 1/2−inch slices. Place the slices flat
on the baking sheet and allow them to dry out in the oven for 45 to 60
minutes, or until thoroughly dry. Check occasionally and turn the slices
over as they dry on one side. When dry, raise the oven temperature to 300F.
for 10 to 20 minutes to brown the Zwieback slightly. Cool on a rack. Yield:
40−50.

York Peppermint Patties

2008-09-20T14:59:00.006-07:00

1 (14−ounce) can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 tablespoon peppermint extract
green or red food coloring, optional
6 cups confectioners' sugar
Additional confectioners' sugar
1 − 16 oz. bag semi−sweet chocolate chips
In large mixer bowl, combine Eagle Brand, extract and food coloring if
desired. Add 6 cups sugar; beat on low speed until smooth and well blended.
Turn mixture onto surface sprinkled with confectioners sugar. Knead lightly
to form smooth ball. Shape into 1−inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on wax
paper−lined baking sheets. Flatten each ball into a 1 ½−inch patty. Let dry
1 hour or longer; turn over and let dry at least 1 hour.Melt the chocolate
chips in a microwave set on high for 2 minutes. Stir halfway through the
heating time. Melt thoroughly, but do not overheat. Melting the chocolate
chips can also be done using a double−boiler over low heat. With fork, dip
each patty into warm chocolate (draw fork lightly across rim of pan to
remove excess coating). Invert onto wax paper−lined baking sheets; let stand
until firm. Store covered at room temperature or in refrigerator.

Wicker's BBQ Sauce

2008-09-20T14:59:00.001-07:00

1 1/4 cups Cider vinegar
1 tsp. black pepper
2 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
4 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. ground cumin

minutes to dissolve spices. Use as a marinade
and basting with your favorite BBQ recipe.

White Castle Sliders

2008-09-20T14:58:00.004-07:00

Get a pound of 85% lean ground beef, and divide into 16 equal sized pieces.
Form each into a 2−1/2 inch square patties. Do this on waxed paper. Make
the patties very thin. Then "cookie−cut" five holes in each pattie.
(the pattern should resemble 5 on a dice) A CLEAN pen cap works nicely.
Freeze these 16 patties. (It'll make it easier later)
BUNS: the buns are also small. My grocer has dinner rolls the exact size
I need, but you might have to create your own using hot dog buns. One
hot−dog bun makes two White Castle buns. Simply cut in half (through top
and bottom) and then cut off the rounded sides to make them square.
COOKING: This is key. You need to finely chop a medium white onion.
On a pre−heated 375 degree electric griddle, lay about 1−1/2 Tablespoons
of onion for each patty you want to cook (generously spray with non−stick
spray like Pam first) The onions should only be "one deep" if you will.
Immediately place frozen patty directly on top of onions and press down.
Cook for about 4 minutes right on top of the onions. The holes in the beef
will allow the steam to cook the top side. (You don't flip)
Add a dash of salt and a pinch of pepper to each patty while they cook.
Remove and place on UNTOASTED buns.

Wheat Thins

2008-09-20T14:58:00.003-07:00

2. In separate bowl blend the oil, salt, and water.
3. Add liquid mixture to dry, mixing well but as little as possible.
4. Roll as thin as possible on unoiled cookie sheet − not more than 1/8"
thick. Mark with knife for size crackers desired, but do not cut
through. Prick each cracker a few times with fork. Sprinkle lightly
with salt or onion salt, if desired.
5. Bake at 350F until crisp and light brown, about 30 minutes.
6. When cool, separate into individual crackers.

Wendy's Spicy Chicken Fillet Sandwich

2008-09-20T14:58:00.001-07:00

6−8 cups vegetable oil
1/3 cup Frank's Original Red Hot Pepper Sauce
2/3 cup water
1 cup all−purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
4 chicken breast fillets
4 plain hamburger buns
8 teaspoons mayonnaise
4 lettuce leaves
4 tomato slices
1. Preheat 6−8 cups of oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees.
3. Combine the pepper sauce and water in a small bowl.
4. Combine the flour, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, onion powder,
paprika and garlic powder in another shallow bowl.
5. Pound each of the chicken pieces with a mallet until about 3/8−inch
thick. Trim each breast fillet if necessary to help it fit on the bun.
6. Working with one fillet at a time, coat each piece with the flour, then
dredge it in the diluted pepper sauce. Coat the chicken once again in the
flour mixture and set it aside until the rest of the chicken is breaded.
7. Fry the chicken fillets for 8−12 minutes or until they are light brown
and crispy. Remove the chicken to a rack or to paper towels to drain.
8. As chicken is frying, prepare each sandwich by grilling the face of the
hamburger buns on a hot skillet over medium heat. Spread about 2 teaspoons
of mayonnaise on the face of each of the inverted top buns.
9. Place a tomato slice onto the mayonnaise, then stack a leaf of lettuce on
top of the tomato.
10. On each of the bottom buns, stack one piece of chicken.
11. Flip the top half of each sandwich onto the bottom half and serve hot.
Makes 4 sandwiches.

very hot water. This removes the bulk of the fat.
3. Transfer the beef into a dutch oven, and add the remaining ingredients.
Stir together to combine thoroughly.
4. Over medium heat, bring to a simmer. Reduce the burner to low, and
continue simmering 50−60 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Wendy's Chicken Caesar Fresh Stuffed Pita

2008-09-20T14:56:00.004-07:00

Dressing:
1/2 cup water
1/8 teaspoon dry, unflavored gelatin
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon finely minced red bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
dash parsley
dash oregano
dash thyme
dash basil
1 tablespoon grated Romano cheese
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons egg substitute
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt
pepper
6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1/4 cup red cabbage, shredded
1/4 cup carrot, shredded
4 pita breads
4 teaspoons shredded, fresh parmesan
Make the dressing by first dissolving the gelatin in the water.
Heat the mixture in the microwave on high for two minutes or
until it begins to rapidly boil. Add the vinegar, then whisk
while adding the oil. Add bell pepper, salt, garlic powder,
worcestershire, black pepper, parsley, oregano, thyme and basil.
Let dressing cool for about 15 minutes before adding cheeses and
egg substitute. Whisk until slightly thicker, then chill.
Overnight refrigeration makes the dressing thicker.
Preheat a barbecue or indoor grill to medium heat. Salt and
pepper the chicken, then grill it for 5 minutes per side, or
until done. Remove chicken from the grill and dice it.
While chicken cooks, prepare the salad by combining the
romaine lettuce, red cabbage and shredded carrot in a large
bowl and toss. Prepare the sandwiches by first microwaving
each pita for 20 seconds. Fold each pita in half like a taco,
then add 1 to 1 1/2 cups of the romaine salad into the bread.
Add about 1/3 cup of diced chicken on top of the salad in the
pita. Pour about a tablespoon of dressing over each sandwich.
Sprinkle about a teaspoon of shredded fresh parmesan on top of
each one and serve.

Twix Bars

2008-09-17T20:40:00.048-07:00

35 individual Kraft caramels
1/4 cup water
1 box Nabisco Lorna Doone shortbread (about 40)
2 − 12 oz. bags milk chocolate chips
Combine the caramels with the water in a small pan and melt over
low heat. Place the shortbread cookies side by side on an ungreased
cookie sheet. Spoon a small amount of caramel onto each cookie.
Refrigerate cookies until the caramel is firm.
In the meantime, in a double boiler over low heat, melt the chocolate
chips. You may also use the microwave for melting the chocolate.
Just heat the chips for 1 minute on high, stir, then heat for
another minute.
Remove the cookies from the refrigerator. Rest each one on a fork and
dip it into the chocolate. Tap the fork on the side of the pan or bowl
to knock off any excess chocoloate. Then place each one on a sheet
of waxed paper and let them cool at room temperature (65−70F).
This could take several hours, but the bars will set best this way.
If you want to speed up the process, put the candy in the
refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Tony Roma's Onion Rings

2008-09-17T20:40:00.046-07:00

6 each White onions
1 cup Milk
3 each Eggs, beaten
Salt
2 cups Pancake mix
Slice the onions crosswise and separate into rings.
Combine milk, eggs, and salt to taste in mixing bowl.
Soak the onions in the mixture about 30 minutes.
Place pancake mix in a shallow bowl.
Heat oil for frying in skillet to 375 degrees.
Remove the onion rings from milk mixture, dip in pancake mix
and place in hot oil. Fry rings until golden brown and drain on
paper towels. Pack fried onion rings solidly, but loosely, without
pressing, into an 8x4" loaf pan. Bake at 400 degrees 10 to 15
minutes. Turn onto serving plate.

Tony Roma's Baby Back Ribs

2008-09-17T20:40:00.045-07:00

Begin the day before, by preheating the oven to 500 degrees (that's
right). I normally use two racks of baby back pork ribs (they may
be dry−rubbed or just use salt and pepper). Take a 2−piece broiling
pan, pour about 1/2 inch of water in the lower portion and put the
upper half, the part with the drain holes, in place. Now, lay the two
racks of ribs side by side on top. Avoid overlapping them or
hanging them off the edge of the pan. Form a tent and seal tightly
around the perimeter of the broiler with extra heavy−duty aluminum
foil. You may need to fold two sheets together to get enough width.
It is crucial that the seal is tight! If the water evaporates, the end
product will suffer (not to mention you and your guests). Also,
make sure that the foil does not lay on the ribs.
Bake for one hour, exactly. This essentially steams the ribs at high
temp. Cool the ribs, still covered, remove them from the pan, then
wrap tighly and chill overnight in the fridge. This step is important.
The ribs must be cold for the next phase. You can reserve the
liquid, which is basically rib stock, reduce/strain and add to the
barbecue sauce if you like. It adds a unique, meaty flavor.
Start your grill. I prefer charcoal, you may prefer wood or gas. You
want a hot grill for this and you'll need to be attentive because
timing is of the essence here. Place the racks on the grill and when
they reach a golden, bubbly stage (3−4 min.), turn them and coat
with a good barbecue sauce. Bullseye Original works well, but I've
found that any quality sauce will do fine, so use your favorite. After
the other side has browned, turn and coat it. Cook the sauce into
the ribs for a couple of minutes on each side, then remove, slice and
serve. A word of caution: The ribs will be so tender that the meat
will literally fall off the bone when you try to turn the racks on the
grill. It is helpfull to have two sets of large tongs and be very, very
gentle.

Tiger Sauce

2008-09-17T20:40:00.044-07:00

1 (pint jar) Pickled Hot Peppers
1 (29 Ounce can) Tomato Puree (with Basil or other Spices)
1 (6 oz.) Tomato Sauce
1/2 (quart bottle) Red Wine Vinegar
1 (6 Ounce bottle) Louisiana Hot Sauce (3 oz. for milder sauce)
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Power
1 Tbs. MSG (Accent)
4 Tbs. Red Pepper Flakes (2 Tbs for milder sauce)
1/2 (18 Ounce bottle) Hickory Flavored Barbecue Sauce
(Makes about 1 Gallon)
Remove peppers from jar, saving vinegar in a very large mixing bowl. Cut the
stems from the peppers and discard. Place peppers in food processor, or
blender, and puree very smooth. Empty contents of blender into mixing bowl
with vinegar. Add all the remaining ingredients into the bowl, and whisk
until all ingredients are evenly blended. Bottle and store. Easiest to use
when stored in empty small bottles saved from Soy Sauce, Teriyaki Sauce,
etc. Just clean the bottles and remove the old labels.

Thomas English Muffins

2008-09-17T20:40:00.043-07:00

1 lb. All−purpose or bread flour
1 teas. Salt
1 1/2 Tbl. Dry yeast
1 teas. Sugar
1 cup Warm milk
2 oz. Butter, melted
Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and leave in a warm place. Dissolve
the yeast and sugar in warm (105 F) milk (M−Waved). Let froth,
then mix in the butter. Stir all the liquid into the warm flour and beat
well until smooth and elastic. Cover and proof in a warm place for 50
minutes or until doubled in bulk. Turn onto a well−floured board and
knead, working a little more flour if necessary to make the dough easier
to shape. Round up the dough, roll into a thick sausage shape and (using
the sharpest knife you have) slice into 8 to 10 portions, each about 1 1/2
to 1 3/4 inch thick. Shape each one into a round with straight sides. Put
onto a greased baking sheet. Cover (use greased plastic wrap) and put
in a warm place to proof for 30−40 minutes or until springy to the touch.
Leave room for expansion and be careful not to over−proof, as the muffins
will get flabby and lose their shape. Warm and grease the bakestone
lightly. Lift the muffins carefully onto the bakestone and cook over very
moderate heat for 8−10 minutes until pale gold underneath. Turn and cook
the other side. Wrap in a cloth and keep warm if cooking in batches. To
serve, insert a knife in the side, pull the top and bottom slightly apart,
and insert slivers of butter.

Sun Dried Tomatoes

2008-09-17T20:40:00.028-07:00

Dried Tomatoes (yields about 1 pint)
Wash carefully and wipe dry:
7 or 8 pounds of firm, ripe (preferably Roma) tomatoes.
Cut out the stem and scar and the hard portion of core lying under it.
Cut the tomatoes in half, lengthwise. If the tomato is more than about
2 inches long, cut it in quarters.
Scrape out all of the seeds that you can without removing the pulp.
Arrange the tomatoes, with the cut surface up, on non−stick cookie
sheets (glass or porcelin dishes are OK. They will have to withstand
temperatures of a few hundred degrees F if you are going to oven−dry
the tomatoes). Do *not* use aluminum foil, or bare aluminum cookie
sheets. The acid in the tomatoes will react with the metal.
Mix together thoroughly:
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp salt.
Sprinkle a small amount of this mixture on each tomato.
(You may customize this mixture to suit your own taste.)
Dry the tomatoes in the oven, dehydrator, or in the sun. Directions
follow for each of these methods. However, no matter what method you
choose, be aware that not all of the tomatoes will dry at the same rate.
They do not all have the same amount of moisture, nor do they experience
the same temperature and air circulation while they are drying.
They are done when they are very dry, but still pliable − about the
texture of a dried apricot. If dried too long, they become tough and
leathery. If not dried long enough, they will mold and mildew, unless
packed in oil. So watch them carefully while they dry. Try to remove
them on an individual basis, before they become tough.
Here are the drying methods. There is a time listed with each method.
This time is approximate, and can vary significantly depending on the
moisture of the tomato. Do *not* rely on this time as more than a
rough guide.
Oven−drying (approximately 12 hours):
Bake, cut side up, in 170 F oven for about 3 hours. Leave the
oven door propped open about 3 inches to allow moisture to
escape. After 3 hours, turn the tomatoes over and press flat
with your hand or a spatula. Continue to dry, turning the
tomatoes every few hours, and gently pressing flatter and
flatter, until tomatoes are dry.
Dehydrator method (approximately 8 hours):
Place the tomatoes, cut side up, directly onto the dehydrator
trays. Set dehydrator temperature to about 140 F. After 4 or
5 hours, turn the tomatoes over and press flat with your hand
or a spatula. After a few hours, turn the tomatoes again and
flatten gently. Continue drying until done.
Sun−drying (approximately 3 days):
Dry in hot weather, with relatively low humidity.
Place tomatoes, cut side down, in shallow wood−framed trays
with nylon netting for the bottom of the trays. Cover trays
with protective netting (or cheesecloth). Place in direct sun,
raised from the ground on blocks or anything else that allows
air to circulate under the trays. Turn the tomatoes over after
about 1 1/2 days, to expose the cut side to the sun. Place the
trays in a sheltered spot after sundown, or if the weather
turns bad.
After the tomatoes are dry, store in air−tight containers, or pack
in oil.
To pack in oil:
Dip each tomato into a small dish of white wine vinegar. Shake off the
excess vinegar and pack them in olive oil. Make sure they are
completely immersed in the oil.
When the jar is full, cap it tightly and store at *cool* room
temperature for at least a month before using. They may be stored in
the refrigerator, but the oil will solidify at refrigerator
temperatures (it quickly reliquifies at room temperature however).
As tomatoes are removed from the jar, add more olive oil as necessary
to keep the remaining tomatoes covered.

and mixture comes to a boil. Wash down side of pan with pastry
brush dipped in hot water frequently, to remove sugar crystals.
Add candy thermometer. Continue to cook until mixture reaches
the hard−ball stage (255*) Meanwhile, beat egg white and cream
of tartar with heavy duty electric mixer, until stiff but not dry.
Slowly pour hot syrup into egg white, beating constantly. Add
vanilla, beat until candy forms soft peaks and starts to lose its
gloss. Spoon fondant into prepared pan. Cut into three strips
lengthwise, then crosswise in center. Freeze till firm.
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper, set aside. Melt caramels
with water in small heavy saucepan, over low heat, stirring
occasionally. Arrange pecans on waxed paper.
Working quickly, drop 1 piece of the frozen fondant into melted
caramels to coat. Roll in pecans to completely coat. Place on
prepared baking sheet to set. Repeat with remaining fondant
pieces, reheating caramel mixture if it becomes too thick.
Cut logs into 1/2" slices. Store in fridge in airtight container
between layers of waxed paper or freeze up to 3 months.
Makes six 5" rolls.
