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.)

1 onion, finely diced
2 (10 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough, torn into pieces

BUTTERMILK BAKED CHICKEN

BUTTERMILK BAKED CHICKEN
(Niki5959 – OP?)

4 chicken breasts
1 ½ c. buttermilk
¾ c. flour
1 ½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
¼ c. butter
1 can cream of mushroom soup

Dip chicken in ½ cup buttermilk and roll in flour seasoned with the salt and pepper. Put butter in 13x9x2 inch baking pan and melt in hot oven (425 degrees). Put chicken in pan and bake 30 minutes. Turn and bake 15 minutes.
Mix remaining buttermilk and the soup and pour around the chicken. Bake 15 minutes longer until tender.

Lara's notes: I just made my own buttermilk. Here is the trick. I just add one tbps of white vinegar to one cup of milk. Let it sit about 10 minutes and mix! This is the ultimate comfort food. I took one bite and it reminded me of KFC but only better.

Super MoistCornbread

Super MoistCornbread

1 Stick of butter

2/3 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 cup buttermilk

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup flour

1/2 tsp salt


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)



Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes.

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.
