The Zelda Gourmet: recipe

Showing posts with label recipe. Show all posts

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!

1 GF chocolate cake mix - Betty Crocker
1 GF brownie mix - Betty Crocker
6 eggs
1 cup water, hot
2 tsp instant espesso
1 stick butter (1/2 cup) softened
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder

Quest!

For this particular recipe, you do need to use these particular mixes. They normally make a small pan of brownies and a single layer cake.

In a mixer, beat eggs until light yellow.

In a measuring cup, measure out your hot water from the tap. Then add instant espresso powder. Mix and let it sit for a little bit.

Add softened butter, vanilla and baking powder to eggs. Mix until combined.

Add mixes to the bowl and stir on low. Add in espresso mix and continue to mix for 2 minutes on medium. Should be like a cake mix when done. Let this sit for at least 5 minutes for the flour to fully absorb the liquid.

Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Get your cupcake liners ready in the pan and make sure to spray the liners with non stick spray. Spoon the cake mixture in so they come up about 3/4 of the way full. Should make 24 cupcakes.

Bake for 18-23 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the cupcakes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

Once completely cooled decorate with your favorite frosting. Today with have a light pink vanilla frosting.

Add red and pink hearts to indicate how much life the hero still has. Add some extra sprinkles for fun and Enjoy!

It's grilling season once again, and with the latest (unprovoked) attack from the cuccos, we once again have an abundance of chicken hanging around to cook. With that, we thought we would continue to use the fabulous Hylian mushrooms that can be found throughout the countryside and the woods. And don't forget about the bullbo strips. So much good food out in the world. It would be a shame not to put it together into one fabulous meal. Enjoy!

I have always wanted to make a free standing pie. One so lovely and dense that once baked would stand up on its own without getting super gooey. Well today, we kind of did that. While this pie won't stand up by itself in the oven, it will once baked. This is similar to a British pie and I thought it appropriate to kick off our new page on Zelda's Tea Party. I will be adding cute little cakes and tea sandwiches to this page and I hope you like the idea. I find it an interesting thought to what Zelda is eating when she is not waiting to get saved. I hope you like the recipe and Enjoy!

Spring form pan

Crust
1 1/2 sticks butter, cubed and chilled
4 tablespoons lard, cubed and chilled
2 cups GF AP flour, plus extra for rolling dough
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold water

Filling
3 T GF breadcrumbs
8 oz ricotta cheese
12 basil leaves
4 chicken sausage links, cooked and chopped
2 roasted red bell peppers
15 oz can quartered artichokes, drained and chopped
3-4 oz goat cheese with herbs
6 oz. prosciutto
1/3 c. finely shredded Parmesan cheese

Quest!

Let's make pie crust! In a large bowl, add the salt, flour, lard and butter. Using a pastry blender or a couple of forks, crumb together until crumbs the size of peas form. Add about half of the water and mix together. Add a little of the time of the remaining water just until the dough begins to form. Let the dough sit for about minutes. Check the dough to see if it needs a little more water. Then divide the dough into two discs and let the dough rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

Roll one of the disc of dough on a lightly floured silicone mat. Spray the inside of a spring form pan with cooking spray. Shape pie crust to the inside of the spring form pan. Bake pie at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes.

Add a couple of tablespoons of GF bread crumbs to the bottom. This will help to catch any leftover moisture from the filling and prevent a soggy bottomed pie.
