Butterhorn Rolls

Butterhorn Rolls
Cindy (mommy_of_love1) Recipe by Kathy Oaks

1 tablespoon yeast
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup butter

Dissolve yeast in warm water, add melted butter and remaining ingredients , reserving 1/4 cup butter. Let rise until it doubles in size. Separate into 2 balls and roll out into 2 circles. Cut each circle like a pizza into 16 equal pieces (use a pizza cutter). Roll them up crescent style and at this point you may flash freeze them on a cookie sheet and then dump them in a freezer bag to eat in the coming weeks or months or you can let them rise again for about 2 hours. Bake at 375 degrees, on a buttered cookie sheet for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. (When serving them from the freezer just pull them out and let them thaw and rise for about 3 hours on a buttered cookie sheet and bake as directed.)

2 (10 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough, torn into pieces

I know this is not really a soup but it is close :)

Lara's notes: I just used one jumbo canned biscuits about 16 oz. I was worried this dish would be bland but its not. The ulimate comfort food. I will be making this again.

Melt butter in a sauce pan, and add sugar. Cool 2 minutes, then add eggs and beat with an electric hand mixer, or a whisk. In a small cup mix buttermilk and baking soda and add to mixture. Add cornmeal, flour, and salt and mix well. (I also add a can of corn, well drained)

Lara's Notes: We had the missionaries over for dinner. The one elder ended up eating about 5 pieces of cornbread. He said it was the best cornbread. It wasn't to moist or too dense. I'm going to make sure to make this again when they comeover next time.

Cowpoke Pasta Salad

1 lb box Barilla Piccolini Wagonwheel pasta
1 envelope Ranch dressing mix
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup milk
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup raw carrots, sliced thin
1 bunch scallions, sliced
pepper to taste

Mix mayo, milk and ranch dressing until smooth. Set aside.

Cook pasta according to package directions, adding frozen veggies for last 2 minutes of cook time. Drain, then rinse with cold water. Toss with raw veggies, then add dressing and pepper to taste.

This is best if it gets to sit in the fridge a couple hours or more so flavors can marry. For thinner dressing, add more milk until desired consistency.

Awesome Bread Machine Dinner Rolls

I can’t say enough good things about these rolls ~ they are delicious! You do have to check the dough when it gets mixed up in the machine as you may have to add more flour so it isn’t sticky.

This is my standard roll recipe that I use for holidays and everyday dinners. I rarely have any leftover and when I do they are great to use to make a turkey or ham sandwich.

I make mine on the small side ~ probably about the size of a golf ball so I get more than 15. I usually have my whole jelly roll pan full after they have risen.



Awesome Bread Machine Rolls

1 cup water
2 Tbs butter, softened
1 egg
3 1/4 cups bread flour (start with 3 cups and see if you need the extra 1/4 cup ~ I always need it)
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
3 tsp yeast

Put all ingredients on the pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Use the dough cycle.

When finished, pull apart into 15 (or more) balls. Place on greased cookie sheet 2″ apart and brush with melted butter. Cover and set in slightly warm place to rise for about 30-40 minutes or until nearly doubled in size.

Bake at 375º for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove and brush with butter again.

Makes 15 or more depending on size.
