Cinnamon Twist Cookies

foxvox — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 19:48:51 +0000

This is a recipe we make every year for the holidays! They’re like tiny little crescent rolls with sugar and cinnamon- very tasty.

Cinnamon Twists

4 cups sifted flour
1 1/2 cups margarine
3 egg yolks
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 egg whites
3 tblsp. sifted confectioner’s sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
sugar and cinnamon

Place in a large bowl: flour, margarine, yolks, sour cream, and vanilla. Cut in (as for pastry mix) well and chill overnight.

When ready to bake, divide dough into eight parts. Roll each part onto a board dusted with confectioner’s sugar. Cut into 8 or 12 wedges.

Then beat the egg whites until fluffy; gradually add sifted confectioner’s sugar. Fold in vanilla. Brush rolled dough with egg mixture. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

Roll each wedge loosely (starting at wide end). Brush rolled slices with egg mixture and cinnamon and sugar. Place on greased cookie sheet in oven at 400 degrees. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Supposedly, this serves about 30 people, but that’s highly suspicious.

Calzones

foxvox — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 01:10:07 +0000

This recipe makes two large calzones that will serve two very hungry people! The traditional (well, traditional in New York) filling starts with ricotta cheese and mozzarella cheese, but you can add other ingredients as you like.

1 package yeast
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. oil
1 tsp. salt
2-3/4 cups flour
1 small container whole milk ricotta cheese
12 or 16 oz. chunk of whole milk mozzarella cheese, grated

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

To make the dough: Dissolve 1 pk yeast in 1 cup warm water. Mix 1 tbsp. sugar, 2 tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, 2-3/4 cup flour to yeast and water. Mix together till smooth. Knead and cover with towel for 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough in approximately a 10 inch circle. (Or large enough to cover the open surface of a calzone maker if you have one.) Put approximately 1 to 1-1/2 cups whole milk ricotta cheese in the center of the dough. Place 1/2 to 1 cup of the grated whole milk motzarella chees on top of the ricotta cheese. Fold over and crimp the edges shut in a half-moon shape.

Place both calzones on a greased cookie sheet. After 15 minutes of cooking, brush with melted butter. Cook for a total of 25 minutes or until golden brown.

You can add many kinds of ingredients if you want to go beyond the basic, but delicious, cheese calzone. Pepperoni or cooked italian or pan sausage make a nice addition, for instance, as well as sauteed onions and peppers - if you add ingredients, reduce the amount of cheese in proportion so the calzones don’t get overstuffed and pop open during baking.

You can also use the dough recipe here to make an excellent pizza crust.

Cool Cook — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 01:31:56 +0000

Balsamic vinegars and seasonings have been highly prized as excellent flavor enhancers for centuries. True balsamic vinegar is produced from grapes over an extended period of time and aged in barrels specifically used for that purpose. Up to 800 gallons of the crushed grapes (known as “must”) are required to produce just 30 gallons of balsamic vinegar.

Below you will find our selections. Each balsamic vinegar been carefully selected from the finest imports to provide a true variety of choices based upon taste, aroma, color, and intended purpose. Learn more about each of these balsamic vinegars by clicking the link or picture below.
