Subject: yeast rolls
Does anyone have a recipe for yeast rolls made with potato flakes?
I
had them over the Thanksgiving holiday, but the hostess didn't want
to
give up her family "secret" recipe. I know someone in the
group
knows how to make them.
Thanks

Thanks for the Rib recipe but a friend of mine was telling me
he had Deep Fried Ribs at a dinner party and he said they were great.
I would like to try them if anyone out there has the recipe. Thanks
again

6 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
6 cups sweetened heavy cream, whipped until thick, in all

2 cups chocolate sauce, slightly warm
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl combine the crumbs,
butter and 1/4 cup of the peanut butter. Mix thoroughly. Press the
mixture into a 9-inch spring-form pan. Bake until golden and crisp,
about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Using
an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese with sugar until smooth.

from Lois
`````````````````````
Angel Biscuits
5 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup crisco shortening
2 1/2 teaspoons yeast
2 cups buttermilk
Dissolve yeast in warm water (about 1/2 cup) - sift dry ingredients
into large mixing bowl, cut in shortening with a pastry blender -
stir in buttermilk, work into a dough. Spray Ziploc bag with Pam
or other veggie spray - dump dough into bag, zip up and keep in
fridge (it will rise in the bag). The dough lasts about a week in
the
fridge - you pinch off what you need, roll or shape into 1/2-inch
thick bisucits and bake at 400° for 12 minutes or until golden
brown.
Note: I've kept the dough longer than a week in the fridge and found
it to be as good the last day as it was the first.

Subject: Sauce
Caramel Sauce
Makes about 1-1/2 cups
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup water (lukewarm is fine)
1 cup heavy cream (whipping cream)
Method
In a medium saucepan, stir together the sugar and the water. Cook
over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase to high heat
and
cook the mixture until it is golden amber in color. (Do not stir
after you increase heat.) Remove the saucepan from the heat and
carefully stir in a few tablespoons of cream. Let the caramel bubble
and subside and then add a some more of the cream. Slowly add the
rest of the cream. Stir until smooth. Serve warm or cold. It can
be
reheated in a double boiler, or in a microwave oven.
Note: You can add about 3 oz. chocolate to the warm caramel sauce
(1-1/2 cups) to make a chocolate caramel sauce.

Oatmeal Pecan Cookies
Makes about 4 dozen cookies
Ingredients
1 cup solid vegetable shortening
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
3 tbls. water
3/4 tsp. salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. vanilla
3 1/2 cups quick oats
1 cup chopped pecans
Directions
Mix all ingredients, except oats and nuts, together in electric
mixer. Stir in oats and nuts by hand. Place heaping tablespoonfuls
(depending how large you want the cookies) of dough onto cookie
sheet. Cook 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees.
Note: Do NOT over mix or overcook (I would only cook them for about
10 minutes and let them complete the cooking process on a cooling
rack). They should remain moist and chewy.

Subject: Red Velvet Cake
I also love red velvet cake but I developed an allergy tored dye.I
worked with a woman who made the most delicious red velvet cake and
was willing to give me the recipe. I never got to make thecake.
I
hope you enjoy it. Maybe I should try it without the food coloring.
Red Velvet Cake
2-¼ cups All-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Cocoa
2 1-ounce Bottles of red food coloring (equivalent measure is ¼ cup
or
4 tablespoons)
½
cupshortening
1-½ cups Sugar
2 Large Eggs
1 cup Buttermilk
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon White vinegar
1 teaspoon Baking soda
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.
Combine the sifted flour and salt, and set aside.
Put the cocoa in a small glass bowl, and add the food coloring
gradually, stirring until mixture is smooth. Set aside.
Cream together the shortening and sugar, beating for 4 or 5 minutes
at
medium speed in your electric mixer until fluffy. Add the eggs, one
at
a time, beating for at least 30 seconds after each addition.
At low speed of your mixer, add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture
alternately with the buttermilk and vanilla, scraping down the sides
of the bowl as necessary. Add the cocoa/food coloring mixture, mixing
until color of batter is uniform. Do not overbeat; overbeaten cake
batter will result in a tough cake. Turn off your mixer.
In a small bowl, mix the vinegar with the baking soda. It will foam
up. Stir it briefly to mix, and then add it to the cake batter,
folding it in to incorporate well, but do not beat.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans, and bake in a 350°F
oven
for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Allow
layers to cool on a rack for 10 minutes before turning out. Let cake
cool completely before frosting.

sorry all...........I forgot to tell you that you bake the baked
spaghetti uncovered in a 350 oven for about an hour - just until
everything "melts" together, and the cheese is lightly
browned on
top.................enjoy it!!

To: posts@chitterlings.com
A couple of days ago I sent in a recipe for butter cookies and I
made
two mistakes.
First use only 1/2 tsp. of vanilla. Second, the cookies need to baked
at 400 Degrees F.(not 350 Degrees). These are small cookies so they
don't need to bake more thn 8 minutes or so.
Sorry for my mistake.

I have over 300 cookbooks and yours is by far my favorite.
Thanks again.

"Thank you Willie for the wonderful cookbook, you have done a fabulous
job on it and thank you for signing it.
I have been in New York for a while now at the culinary
institute in Hyde Park. So I haven't been active on your recipe exchange.
I am looking forward to using some of these recipes at the restaurant
also...
Warmest regards,

"Hi Willie;
Just wanted to write and let you know we are enjoying the cookbook
very much. We tried the macaroni and cheese last night and boy was it
good. So far my wife's favorite has been the fried green tomatoes.
I can't wait to try the baby back ribs...grin.
Thanks again for some great eating!

"Willie,
I was really suprised to see you published your pork barbecue recipe right
in your cookbook. So many people won't share their with anybody. I cooked
half a pig overnight, following your instructions exactly. It turned out
perfect! I can see myself making a little extra money selling bbq meals
from my house.
Thanks again man.

"Willie,
I fixed your pulled pork barbecue yesterday!
It tastes just like the stuff I remember when
I traveled through Virginia and North Carolina
years ago.
Thanks for bringing back great memories :0)
