Roald Dahl’s Raised Sugar Cookies

 

 
These yeast-raised sugar cookies are different and delicious.  They are best the day they are baked.  Swedish Pearl Sugar can be found on-line.
 
Ingredients
  • 1⅓ c. flour 
  • ½ c. milk
  • Few drops orange or lemon juice
  • ½ packet active dry yeast  (about 1 tsp)
  • 4 ounces salted butter, cut into 5 slices
  • Swedish Pearl Sugar (about a cup) OR turbinado sugar
 
Instructions
  1. Mix the flour, milk, yeast and citrus juice together until combined. With the mixture on high speed, beat in the butter, one slice at a time, until it's all incorporated. Wrap the dough well, and refrigerate overnight.
  2. Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
  3. Scatter the pearl sugar generously on a rolling surface (this will be a little challenging) and roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thick, sprinkling the dough with more pearl sugar to keep it from sticking to the rolling surface or the rolling pin. Using a circle cookie cutter, cut the dough into shapes, and transfer them to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or silpat.
  4. Bake for 30-45 minutes until "lightly golden" -- they will crisp as they cool. 
 
next ingredient:  left over ham. (I’m thinking ahead.)

Pineapple Angel Lush Cake

from Genius Kitchen website circa 2005

 

3  1/2 oz. box Jell-o vanilla pudding

20 oz. can crushed pinepple, undrained

tub of Cool Whip, thawed

1 10 0z. prepared Angel Food cake

 

Slice cake horizontally in thirds.  Mix pineapple with juice with pudding mix.  Put 1  1/3 cups of mixture on bottom layer, 1 cup on middle layer, and remainder on top layer.

Refrigerate assembled cake at least one hour before serving.

 

A variation would be to cube the cake and place in a trifle bowl in layers with filling as an easier serving method, topped with sliced stawberries or Maraschino cherries.

 

This recipe, with variations, has been around since the mid-seventies when I was introduced to it and was referenced as "Egg Salad" cake since the filling and topping mixture resembled egg salad.

 

NEXT INGREDIENT:  LIME

 I just saw this recipe in a recent Taste of Home magazine.

 

Balsamic ASPARAGUS Salad

 

2 lbs. fresh ASPARAGUS, trimmed and cut into 1" pieces

1/3 cup sliced red onion

1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper

1/4 cup dried cranberries

3 Tablespoons olive oil

3 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard

dash of salt and pepper

3 Tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted

3 Tablespoons  cooked bacon, chopped

 

In a saucepan, bring 1" of water to a boil.  Add ASPARAGUS; cover and boil until crisp-tender, 3-4 minutes.  Drain and immediately place in ice water.  Drain again and pat dry.  Transfer to a large bowl; add the onion, red pepper and cranberries.

 

Whisk together the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper.  Pour over ASPARAGUS mixture; toss to coat.  Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.  Just before serving, stir in the almonds and bacon.

 

Notes....

 

If you are short on time, use 1/2 cup prepared balsamic vinaigrette instead of making it from scratch.

 

If you need to make salad more than a day ahead of time, don't add the dressing.  Keep it separate in the refrigerator up to two days.  Toss together an hour before serving.

 

It is important to cool ASPARAGUS after cooking so it doesn't get too soft and mushy.

 

NEXT INGREDIENT ..... RHUBARB

Hunter's Chicken with Italian Seasoning

 

3 to 4 lbs. chicken pieces

2  28 oz. cans whole or crushed tomatoes in sauce

1 onion, diced fine

1 green pepper, chopped

3 cloves of garlic, crushed

1 lb. of mushrooms, sliced

1/2 cup red wine (not cooking wine)

olive oil for sauteing

salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, 3 tsps. Italian seasoning*

 

In a Dutch oven brown chicken pieces and set aside on a warm platter.  Saute peppers, onions, and garlic in the drippings, then add the sliced mushrooms and saute them.

 

Return the chicken to the pan, add the crushed tomotoes and wine.  Add salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes to taste.  Add 3 tsps. of the Italian seasoning blend.

 

Cover and bring contents to just below the boil then lower heat to simmer for at least one hour, or preferably two.

 

Can be served with spaghetti or the pasta of your preference.

 

*I use rosemary, basil, parsley, and oregano for my Italian seasoning mixture.  You can use the combination you prefer or a commercially available jarred mixture.

 

Can't give credit to any one source for this recipe.  I've been making this "off the top of my head" for forty-eight years.

@aroc3435 

That sounds delicious and it must be tried and true after 48 years!  I'm going to make it with boneless thighs, next chance I get.

Thank you!

 

What is the next ingredient for us?
