  • Graham Cookies

    Recipe

    Date: Sat, 09 Oct 93 23:06:21 CDT
    From:

    Graham Cracker Cookies

    2 egg whites
    4 tbs brown rice syrup
    5 graham crackers (crushed fine)

    Beat the egg whites to a froth (ie. not stiff,just foamy) add the syrup
    and continue to beat until well mixed. Stir in the crushed grahams.
    Drop onto a non-stick baking surface, making about 16-20 mounds. If you
    make 20 cookies, they will be 1/4 gram fat each (5 grams per graham used,
    so its 5/20 or 1/4). Each graham cracker is 60 calories, so 300/20 is
    15 calories per cookie not counting the rice syrup or the whites. Bake
    at 400F for 10-12 minutes. These cookies come out crisp! And chewey!

    PEAR RIESLING TRIFLE

    Recipe By : COOKING LIVE SHOW #CL8785
    Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : New Text Import Cooking Live

    Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
    ——– ———— ——————————–
    For the pears:
    8 ripe firm pears
    1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
    1/4 cup Riesling wine
    Pinch of salt
    2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
    For the Riesling Sabayon:
    8 large egg yolks
    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    3/4 cup Riesling wine
    Pinch of salt
    1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
    For Assembly:
    1 recipe Vanilla Genoise (recipe follows)
    Equipment:
    2 1/2-quart bowl, preferably glass

    Pears:

    Peel, core and slice the pears 1/2-inch thick. Combine the pears in a
    large
    saute pan with the sugar, Riesling, salt, and lemon juice. Cook over
    medium-high heat until the juices start to evaporate, 10 to 15
    minutes. In
    a food processor, roughly puree the pears. Set aside to cool.

    Riesling Sabayon:

    Fill a medium saucepan 1/3 full of water. Bring the water to a low
    boil.

    Fill a medium bowl with ice water. Set aside.

    In a stainless steel bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar,
    Riesling,
    and salt. Set the bowl into the pot of water, making sure that the
    water
    doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl. Cook, whisking constantly,
    until
    thick, about 3 minutes. Set the bowl in the bowl of ice water. Whisk
    until
    cool.

    In a separate bowl, whisk the cream until soft peaks form. Fold it
    into the
    Riesling mixture. Refrigerate until you are ready to assemble the
    trifle.

    Assembly:

    Cut the genoise in half horizontally with a knife.

    Pour 1/3 cup of the sabayon in the 2 1/2-quart glass bowl. Cut and
    fit
    pieces of the genoise over the sabayon in a single layer. Cover with
    2/3
    cup of the reserved puree, then 1 cup of sabayon. Continue layering
    in the
    same manner, ending with sabayon.

    Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving.

    This trifle can be made 1 to 2 days ahead.

    Yield: 8 to 10 serving

    1 c Vvater
    2 tb Oil
    Oil or butter

    QUICK MIX METHOD

    Combine 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
    Heat milk, water, and 2 tablespoons oil in a saucepan over low heat
    until very warm (120 to 130F). Add liquid to flour mixture; beat on
    high speed of elec- tric mixer until smooth, about 3 minutes.
    Gradually stir in more flour to make a soft dough. Tum onto lightly
    floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (5 to 10 minutes).
    Cover dough with bowl or pan; let rest 20 minutes. For two loaves,
    divide dough in half and roll out two 14×7-inch rectangles; for one
    loaf roll out to 16×8-inch rectangle. Roll up from narrow side,
    pressing dough into roll at each turn. Press ends to seal and fold
    under loaf. Place in 2 greased 8x4x2-inch loaf pans or 1 greased
    9x5x3-inch loaf pan; brush with oil. Let rise in warm place until
    double in bulk (30 to 45 minutes). Bake at 400F 35 to 40 minutes.
    Remove from pans immediately and brush with oil; cool on wire rack.

    CONVENTIONAL METHOD

    Heat milk, sugar, oil, and salt; cool to lukewarm. In a large bowl,
    sprinkle yeast in warm water (105 to 115F) stir until dissolved. Add
    lukewarm milk mixture and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Beat in
    enough additional flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto lightly
    floured surface; let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Knead until smooth and
    elastic (8 to 10 minutes). Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease
    top. Cover; let rise in warm place until double in bulk (about 1
    hour). Punch down. Let rest 15 minutes. Follow same shaping and baking

    instructions as Quick Mix Method.
