5:18 PM Posted by EmmaElaine , No comments
Things to try adding:

Bacon grease instead of butter

  3. Biscuits, butter, and cinnamon. Make cinnamon toast out of a biscuit!
Lunch Menu:
  1. Biscuits, burgers, burger fixings (lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard, ketchup, relish, mayo, Colby jack, avocado, mushrooms, provolone cheese, arugula, fresh spinach, peppers, coleslaw, pineapple, etc.). Form biscuits a little flatter before baking. Use biscuits as buns and load 'em up!
Supper Menu:
  1. Biscuits, grilled chicken strips, mashed potatoes, and broccoli.
Other Thinks:
  • Biscuits are perfect for a quick addition to any meal, especially suppers. Last minute guests? Didn't get the potatoes peeled in time? All out of rice? Biscuits to the rescue!

Menu Thinks: Cinnamon Rolls

5:16 PM Posted by EmmaElaine , No comments
Things to try adding:

Honey, softened butter, and cinnamon instead of the brown sugar filling provided in mix
Orange roll filling instead of the brown sugar filling provided in mix
Pecans
Chocolate chips
Cream cheese frosting on top

Breakfast Menu:
  1. Cinnamon rolls, sausage, and fresh fruit.
  2. Cinnamon rolls, yogurt, and fresh fruit.
Other Thinks:
  • These are simply scrumptious right out of the oven, but they are twice as good leftover and re-heated.
  • Can easily be frozen after individual rolls have been cut. Place unbaked rolls on a cookie sheet, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 24 hours. Transfer frozen rolls from cookie sheet to Ziploc bag for longer-term storage. Now you can bake individual cinnamon rolls whenever you want! Simply pull out a frozen roll, place in baking pan, and insert into oven while preheating to help thaw the roll. Once oven is pre-heated, bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes.

Step-by-Step: Chocolate Chip Cookies

5:09 PM Posted by EmmaElaine , No comments

Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix



 Step 1: Remove chocolate chip baggie from Emma’s Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix.

Step 2: Pour Emma's Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix into a standing mixer with cookie attachments or just a regular ol' mixing bowl. 

Step 3: Separate out 1 egg yolk.


(You could also try using whatever egg replacer you fancy. 2 Tbsp water and 1 Tbsp ground flax seed per 1 egg is my favorite.)


(Save the egg white to use for Emma's Gluten Free Biscuit Mix!)

Step 4: Melt 1/2 cup butter or coconut oil.




Step 5: Add egg yolk, 1 egg, 2 Tbsp milk (cow, coconut, etc.) and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla to the bowl.


Step 6: Mix until well combined.



(Sometimes the dough can be rather crumbly, especially if you make it dairy-free. So, try bringing it together with your hands if it still needs some work.)


Step 7: Add baggie of chocolate chips.


Step 8: Mix until incorporated.



 Step 9: Chill dough for 1 hour. (This step is half-way optional. The flavor is enhanced with chilling. You don't necessarily have to chill it for a full hour, though, if you don't want to. Also, if its a hot summer day, chilling it will keep the cookies from melting everywhere when you bake them.) If desired, you can freeze the dough at this point for later use.


Step 10: Preheat oven to 375*F. 
Step 11: Butter cookie sheet.


Step 12: Roll dough into 2 Tbsp balls (or use a Pampered Chef Cookie Scoop. I love them.)  



(It's reeeeeeeeeally hard not to eat all the dough before it makes it into the oven.)


Step 13: Press cookies flat.


Step 14: Bake for 8-12 minutes...


Or until golden brown. (In my opinion, it is always better to err on the side of under-done cookies than over-done cookies.)


Step 15: Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Enjoy!
