Thread: Recipes and Cooking/Smokeing/Grilling etc.

1 cup boiling water
6 tablespoons shortening
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 (1/4-oz.) envelope active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (105° to 115°)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, melted and divided

Preparation

1. Pour boiling water over shortening and next 2 ingredients in bowl of a heavy-duty electric stand mixer, and stir until shortening melts and sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Let stand 10 minutes or until about 110°.
2. Meanwhile, combine yeast and warm water in a 1-cup liquid measuring cup; let stand 5 minutes.
3. Add yeast mixture and egg to shortening mixture; beat at low speed until combined. Gradually add flour, beating at low speed 2 to 3 minutes or until flour is blended and dough is soft and smooth.
4. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and chill 8 to 24 hours.
5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic (about 1 minute). Gently shape dough into 60 (1-inch) balls; place 3 dough balls in each cup of 2 lightly greased 12-cup muffin pans. (You will fill only 20 cups.) Brush rolls with half of melted butter.
6. Cover pans with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 45 minutes to 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
7. Preheat oven to 400°. Bake rolls for 8 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with remaining melted butter. Serve immediately.


That was the recipe I found. I only made 12 rolls (36 balls, instead of 60) so they were a little bigger

This is soooooooooooooo good

Easy/never fail fruit cobbler
Pre-heat oven to 350 deg
Melt 1/2 stick butter in a deep dish(casserole dish is fine).
Mix 3/4 cup self rising flour, 1/2 cup whole milk, 3/4 cup sugar. Pour into dish with melted butter. Spread 1 pint of blue berries or peaches, or other fruit, over the top of the batter. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of water over the top of the fruit. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of sugar over the top of that. Bake at 350 deg for about 1 hour. Depends on your oven.


If you use pears or apples, sprinkle light brown sugar instead of white sugar over the top. Lightly sprinkle 1 tsp cinnamon on top of that.

I made this yesterday with blueberries. Delicious!

Got some homegrown peaches in the freezer & have been looking for a way to use them. That cobbler looks like the ticket.

Here's a whapsided view of how mine turned out. I used a 7x11 Pyrex casserole dish.

All that needs is a scoop of 'nilla ice cream!!

Stir well until all is melted and mixed. Add vanilla and salt and stir to mix. Spread evenly in the foil lined pan and cool in the refrigerator. When cooled completely, invert the pan on a counter and peel off the foil. Cut into squares.
