These take a little extra prep time but they are so worth the effort. If your family likes French Toast then they are sure to love these! Play around with the fillings to find your favorite combination too. Also, see Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups for another version. Continue reading “French Toast Roll-Ups”
This is another version of the French Toast Roll-Ups that my kids love so much. The kids can help with spreading the filling and rolling them in the sugar mixture. Continue reading “Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups”
This has been a winner since the first time I made it here. It is fairly simple to throw together and sometimes I let the kids help with rolling up the ‘biscuits’. I think the first time I saw this was on a TLC show. Continue reading “Chicken in a Biscuit”
We love tamales, especially my oldest daughter. I often serve these at parties or get-togethers but I have to warn people not to eat the husks! The yumminess is wrapped in the husk and just needs to be uncovered. I don’t make them very often as it is a bit of a process but the reward is delicious. It seems no matter if I double, or triple, the recipe I never have enough!
There are many ways to make them and I am not an expert. (This is my easy version of tamales.) I will attempt to take some pictures to add to this post to help with making them and the assembly of them. The kids love to help with this and it is so much fun to put them together. This is one of those things when practice makes perfect so don’t give up and just have fun!
You can also use other meats besides chicken. Just make sure the meat is cooked first and then season it to your taste. There are also recipes for sweet versions as well but I have not tried to make any of those.
One important thing to note is that Masa Harina and cornmeal are not the same thing! This will not work with cornmeal. The husks and masa are generally found the ethnic aisle of the grocery store.
See the end of the post for a picture. Continue reading “Chicken Tamales with Pictures!”
(This is one of those recipes that I really don’t remember where I got it from.)
Preheat oven to 400.
Put the stick of butter in a 9×13 pan or a 12-inch castiron skillet and place it in the oven to melt while you prepare the puff.
Beat eggs, milk, flour, and salt until smooth and then another minute more, stir in the vanilla.
Remove pan from the oven and pour the mixture into the melted butter.
Bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden brown.
When you get the puff out of the oven it will be golden and puffed, lovely.
Serve immediately. If you wait it will deflate.
Top with molasses, honey, fresh fruit, confectioners sugar or maple syrup. Maybe even try it with Blueberry Syrup or one of the homemade fruit pie fillings found HERE.
For a special change try making individual servings of dutch puff in oven-safe ramekins. Again this is fun for the company. You can prepare ahead of time and then pop them in the oven as each person wakes.
decrease the milk to 1/3 c. and use 2 c. sourdough starter in place of the flour.
