Mom's Big Book of Baking by Lauren Chattman's Oatmeal Scone was the basic inspiration & i tweaked it

depends on how big you make them

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

Freezer Cinnamon-Fruit Rolls

Submitted by dynamom on Wed, 12/13/2006 - 12:49am.

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup milk and next 5 ingredients (1/2 cup milk through egg). Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Add 3 1/2 cups flour to yeast mixture; stir until blended. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes); add enough of the remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel sticky).
Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down; cover and let rest 5 minutes.

To prepare filling, combine brown sugar, raisins, dried apricots, chopped pecans, and cinnamon.

Roll the dough into an 18 x 10-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Brush 2 tablespoons melted butter over dough; sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups filling, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Beginning with a long side, roll up jelly-roll fashion, and pinch seam to seal (do not seal ends of roll).

Place a long piece of dental floss under dough 3/4 inch from end of roll. Cross ends of floss over top of roll; slowly pull ends to cut through dough. Repeat procedure to make 24 rolls. Coat 2 (9-inch) square foil baking pans with cooking spray. Sprinkle 1/2 cup filling into bottom of each pan. Place 12 rolls, cut sides up, in each pan. Cover and let rise 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 350°.

Uncover rolls. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until browned. Invert onto a serving platter.

To prepare glaze, combine powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons milk, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls.

To Freeze Unbaked Rolls: Prepare recipe through cutting the dough into 24 rolls, placing in pans, and letting rise until doubled in size. Cover with plastic wrap. Wrap tightly with heavy-duty foil. Store in freezer up to 2 months.

To Prepare Frozen Unbaked Rolls: Remove rolls from freezer, and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Uncover and bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until browned.

Yield: 24 servings (serving size: 1 roll)

I made the dough on the dough cycle of my bread machine, seemed to come out just fine. The kids thought cutting with dental floss was hysterical, but I'll admit it worked really well.
I have some in the freezer that I'm saving for us for xmas morning and plan on giving the others to a special neighbor-friend. I think she'll really like it.

Beer Cheese Biscuits for Grandma Artie

Submitted by lapina on Mon, 04/24/2006 - 5:40pm.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Mix together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add butter and mix with pastry cutter until well blended. Add cheese.

Stop at this point and put the 2 Tablespoons of butter into a 9 inch round cake pan (or similar baking pan). Put into oven to melt butter.

Slowly pour in beer and mix until the consistency is wet enough to form a ball, but not too wet.

Take pan out of oven before the butter browns and form dough into medium sized balls. Place these close together in pan and flatten tops until the sides meet.

Put into oven and bake until done. Should be browned on top but done in the middle. They will take longer to bake then rolled biscuits due to the higher liguid content and being close together.

Drink rest of beer.

I dedicate this recipe to my Grandma Artie who will always be remembered for feeding us Rice Crispies with Sprite when the milk ran out.

We ran out of milk this morning.

We miss you Grandma!

2 Cups Flour

1 Tablespoon Baking Powder

1 Teaspoon Salt

2 Teaspoons Turbinado Sugar

1/3 Cup + 2 Tablespoons Cold Butter (Chunked)

1 Cup Cheese

1/2 Can Good Beer

Apple Red Wine Chutney

Submitted by Strange Quark on Wed, 08/24/2005 - 7:04am.

Cut up the apples in small squares. (You want the squares to be no bigger than 1/2 inch, but 1/4 inch is better). Cut up the dried fruit if necessary. Cranberries are fine, but cut the peaches and apricots in slices about 1/4 inch thick.
Put the apples and dried fruit into a small pot. Pour in the wine and brown sugar. Cook on medium until all of the wine has been cooked down into the fruit (About 20-30 minutes). Add more sugar or sucanat if necessary.

Makes about 2 cups

15

A couple of teaspoons of this on a waffle is delicious. It's also good on buttered toast, and with the baked egg recipe.
If you're into getting away from the refined sugar, but you don't like sucanat, honey or maple sugar works okay too.
Kids love this stuff...(the alcohol cooks out of the wine).

3-4 apples (Granny Smith, Pink Lady, or something else kind of tart)

1 cup dried fruit (peaches, apricots, and cranberries work well)

5-6 tsp. brown sugar or sucanat

1 -1.5 cups of red wine--read more >>

Baked egg

Submitted by Strange Quark on Wed, 08/24/2005 - 6:56am.

Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Sprinkle the cheese into the brulee dish. Gently crack the egg(s) on top of the cheese without breaking the yolk. Dribble the buttermilk over the eggs. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on top. Put in the oven for 8-12 minutes until the egg is cooked to your liking. When you take it out, sprinkle a tiny amount of cinnamon on top.
I usually serve this with a piece of toast and some apple and wine chutney.

Scrambled Eggs with fresh Avocado Salsa

Submitted by tansy on Thu, 08/11/2005 - 3:26am.

Beat the eggs (and add milk if you normally use milk for scrambled eggs). Let stand or if you're cooking with someone have them scramble 'em up.

While they're doing that, chop up all the rest of the ingredients and toss together in a medium sized bowl.

Place the salsa beside the eggs on a plate, toast some bread if you like toast for breakfast, and you're done! Enjoy.

2 and you'll be full!

30

About 6 eggs, beaten (add milk if that's what you normally do with your scrambled eggs)

1 avocado, peeled and chopped

2 roma tomatoes or 1 large tomato, chopped

1 tablespoon chopped coriander

1/3 cup chopped green onion (or just 1 or 2 green onions)

lemon or lime juice, about 2 teaspoons

salt and pepper to taste

**add some red chili flakes to the salsa if you like things spicy
