Quest 105: Apple Frittata

 

 We have 500 apples in our inventory in case of dire emergency on our BoTW game. It takes quite a few apples to fill Link's hearts up when down to half a heart with uncooked apples. Trust me, it's happened to all of us. It's fine. But with all these apples, we have a super easy recipe to cook up two of them. Enjoy!

 Gear!
6 large eggs
2 T Half 'n Half
2 T maple syrup
1 T cinnamon, plus a 1 tsp
2 t pie spice
2 t vanilla sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
2 large apples - your favorite
Quest!
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Prep a round oven safe dish with butter.

 In a bowl, whip together eggs, half'n half, maple syrup, 1 T cinnamon and pie spice. 









Choose whether or not you want to peel your apples, but make sure to core them and slice into even slices. Arrange apples into the dish.











Pour egg mixture over apples. 













Bake for 30-35 minutes.

 Enjoy!

Quest 103: Rist Peninsula Cinnamon Rolls


BotW certainly had some beautiful landscapes that keeps things interesting. This is to, of course, make us curious to seek out what each area has in store. None so unique as Rist Peninsula with its swirling beach all leading to a shrine. It made me think about other things with swirls - like cinnamon rolls. Who doesn't like cinnamon rolls? Well gluten free ones are a little harder to find, but I think I have come up with a recipe that brings out the super cinnamony (yes, that's now word) flavor with a light sweet dough that does not taste or have the texture of cardboard. If you get a hankering for cinnamon rolls - give this one a try. Enjoy!


Gear!
Dough
2 cups half n half
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
2 packages active dry yeast (.25 ounce)
4+ cups gf bread flour with xanthium- we used Pamelas 
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon salt

Filling
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
4 T cinnamon or pie spice
1 cup brown sugar
Toasted pecans

Frosting
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup half n half
2 Tablespoons melted butter
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
Pinch of salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 Tablespoon Jameson

Quest!

Make the dough! Bloom the yeast for about 5 minutes by warming up the half n hal in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Add yeast - make sure that you don't overheat the half n half or you will kill the yeast. Add the sugar to the yeast mixture. Once bloomed, add in veggie oil, flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Mix together in a stand mixture.If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes. It will become pretty smooth.
Roll out dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Mix up filling ingredients to gether. Sprinkle over dough.
Roll dough up like a jelly roll. Cut into 12 equal portions

Place rolls into greased 9 x 13 pan. Lightly cover with a tea towel and place in a warm place to rise for about an hour. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake for 35-40 minutes or undil golden brown. Mix up frosting and drizzle over warm rolls.Servce warm or room temperature. Enjoy!

Quest 78: Ordon Pumpkin Bars



It's September. This means that the days are getting shorter and cooler, Starbucks has brought back the pumpkin spice latte, and the internet is starting to hit the world with pumpkin recipes - so here is one more! As you most likely know by now, pumpkins appear in Twilight Princess in the Village of Ordon. The pumpkins are great! They even have rupees inside some of them. This recipe combines the two best things in a gluten free format - molasses cookies and pumpkin pie. I hope you like this recipe. I know my taste testers sure did. Enjoy!

Quest 69: Hyrule Baked French Toast


It has been a few weeks since the last post, and it has been eventful indeed. I just attended the gluten free feast in Minneapolis last week and there were a lot of different things I haven't had before. Both good and bad, GF products certainly run the spectrum of taste. It made me think about things I really used to enjoy before being diagnosed with Celiac and French Toast certainly made that list. The flavors are pretty generic and GF; however the bread is usually an issue. GF bread does not have a great reputation for being awesome. I have found some really horrible bread and some decent. Now, today I am using a brand that I have latched onto because I like it, but I am not being sponsored to use it. I hope you have options in your area and that you have the ability to try different ones to find what you like. Enjoy!

8 Slices of Hearty Artisan GF Bread - such as Schar
4 Eggs
1 c.Half and Half
1 T. Cinnamon
1 T. Maple Syrup
1 t. Salt
1 T. Vanilla
Powdered Sugar
Strawberries

Quest!

In a throwaway aluminum pan, crack your eggs, add cinnamon, maple syrup, vanilla and sugar. Beat together until it comes together.










Add half and half to the mix and beat together.
 Add the bread to the mixture. I dip the bread and stack it on top of each other, so that it all gets a start on the soaking process. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, a good deal of the mixture has been soaked up. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake in the oven for approx. 20-25 minutes.
The baked toast will be golden and delicious. As an added bonus, the remaining soak becomes custard that is super tasty.
Serve along side some bacon. Top with powdered sugar, Triforce cut strawberries and more maple syrup.This brunch should give you the Power to get through another lazy Sunday.

Quest 44: Zucchini Muffin Minish Caps


It's zucchini time! I have been looking ways to incorporate more green ideas into the blog, and today I think I may have succeeded. Minish Cap is a great game in the LOZ series that takes advantage of size in a bigger way that Ocarina of Time. It also brings to life the hat that Link wears in a way that is beyond imagination. With this in mind, today we will attempt to make Minish caps to place upon our zucchini muffins. It will be an interesting and tasty quest that I hope you give a try! Enjoy!


Gear! - Get the Printable Recipe Here!
Muffins!
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1 t. vanilla
1/4 cup apple sauce - I used unsweetened
2 cups GF All-purpose flour with xanthan gum mixed in
2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. cardamom
1 T. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 cup finely grated zucchini
1/2 cup walnuts chopped

Streusel Topping!
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 T cinnamon
2 T. butter cold and cubed
1 T. GF flour

For the Minish caps!
carrots
zucchini
toothpicks
mandolin

Quest!
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prep a muffin pan with muffin liners. Cream together sugar and butter. Add eggs, sour cream, vanilla, and apple sauce. Mix together.






To the mixture, add flour, cinnamon, cardamom, baking powder, baking soda, salt, grated zucchini and walnuts.







Spoon the muffin mix into the muffin liners and push the thick dough into the liners to remove bubbles.







Make the streusel topping by adding all ingredient to a bowl and crumb with a fork. Do not cream!







Spoon the streusel topping over each of the muffins.








BEING VERY CAREFUL!! Set your mandolin to 1/8 inch setting. Slice zucchini lengthwise creating 12 equal pieces. A medium zucchini should get you just enough. Set the mandolin to 1/16 setting and repeat with peeled carrots.





After some trial and error, the best way to make little caps is to start rolling on one end until it makes a nice spiral. Use a toothpick to secure at the top. Add the carrot piece to bottom and press into the muffin. If you don't press them into the muffin, as it rises, it will push the cap off and it will tip over.
Make a cap for each muffin. I added a little vanilla sugar over the top of the caps.


Bake muffins for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes and Enjoy!

Quest 24: Yellow Potion also known as Warm Apple Cider Punch



The leaves are starting to turn color and days becoming cooler. This always puts me in the mood for apple cider. It seems fitting to me that we make yellow potion today. Apple cider has sort of an amber color, but with a little alcohol and some imagination, I think we will get the idea. We haven't made an alcoholic drink in a while; still getting over the affects of the great fairies tears :) So today we will celebrate the yellow potion; an expensive potion appearing in both the Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks as an elixir for all that ails you - filling up all your hearts. I hope to give you that same effect (at least in theory) as you enjoy this drink at your next party. And as always, enjoy this responsibly.






Gear!
Note: This recipe is for 2 drinks. If you have a large crowd coming, adjust quantities accordingly.
3/4 cup Apple Cider
1 Star Anise - whole
1/4 tsp Freshly Ground Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Cardamom
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
2 Slices of Orange
4 oz. Jameson Whiskey
3/4 cup Apple Wine, I am using homemade; whatever wine your choose - I don't recommend a sparkling wine for this.
2 Tall Mugs

The Quest!
 In a sauce pan, add your apple cider, apple wine, star anise, nutmeg, cardamom, and orange slices. Heat until just simmering.
 Remove the orange slices and place in your mugs. Also remove star anise and discard. 
Turn off the heat to your pan. Add in Jameson to the saucepan. Stir and pour into mugs. Serve with a cinnamon stick in each mug. Enjoy!

Quest 22: Boomerang Cookies


One of the most universal pieces of equipment in the LoZ is the boomerang. It brings you things that would otherwise be out of your reach. It trips switches and in my opinion is one of the best items you can equip. Today, we will celebrate this useful item by creating pecan cookies shaped like boomerangs. These cookies are pretty easy, only have a few ingredients and bake up in a breeze. These pecan crescent shaped cookies will have you coming back again and again. Enjoy!


Gear!
1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup finely (and I mean finely!) chopped pecans
2 cups gluten free AP flour with xanthan gum
1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream
colored sugar (blue and yellow)

The Quest!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream together the butter and sugar until it is fluffy and creamy.
 Creamy! Add vanilla extract, cardamom, and cinnamon.
 Finely chop the pecans! I am using a mini chopper to get a more consistent result. It is also much fast than hand chopping.That's fine!

Add pecans and flour to the butter mixture and combine until dough is crumbly. If it is too dry to make a ball when you squish (yes, technical term) it in your hands, add the 1-2 tablespoons of cream to help bind the dough a little better. It should still be crumbly.
Form inch balls in your hand and then squish into log shapes.
 On your sheet pan, shape logs into crescents.
 Ta-da!
 Sprinkle with colored sugar: Yellow for regular boomerangs; Blue for Magical boomerangs.
 Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
 Place on a cooling rack to help them set. 

Enjoy!
