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 102: Lime ChuChu Cookies

Chuchus are everywhere, but my favorite are the creepy version that shows up in Majora's Mask. The expression of the face and the fact that you can see what you will get as a reward are just too much. Today, we will capture these creepy little guys in a cookie with a sour twist - Lime ChuChu Cookies. They are basically a box of lime gelatin that got together with a sugar cookie. Surprisingly good with the sweet and sour combination. These are just about the simplest thing you can make. Enjoy!

Gear!
1-1/2 cups butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 packets (3 oz) Lime Flavored Gelatin, divided
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
3-1/2 cups gluten free AP flour with xanthium gum - We used Pamela's!
1 tsp. baking powder
Candied eyes, heart pieces
Green Sugar Glitter


Quest!
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 

Cream together butter, sugar and 1 of the gelatin packets. Add egg and vanilla, Stir. Add in Flour and baking powder. Stir to combine. Let dough sit for 10 minutes.

Pour our second gelatin packet onto a plate. Form dough into 1 inch balls and dip into gelatin powder. Place on a baking sheet and with a cookie stamp or bottom of a flat glass, press each cookie flat. Add eyes, heart piece and additional sugar glitter. 

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until just turning golden. 

Cool on sheet for a minute or two before transferring to a cooling rack. 

Repeat until all cookies are baked. 

Enjoy!

Quest 43: Triforce Triple Berry Trifle

In the U.S. it is time once again to celebrate our independence and what better way than with things that are in season - Berries!! Being that there are so many berries in season all at once where I dwell, these work really well with our favorites like lemon curd and cool whip and cake. Don't worry - we'll make this Zelda related by using Triforce shapes. It may be a bit of a stretch, but it sure is delicious. Enjoy!




Gear! Get the printable recipe here!
1 yellow cake - I used a GF Betty Crocker mix this time
2 cups of lemon curd - ingredients below
6 oz. marscapone cheese
2 T. lemon juice
4 T. sugar separated
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups sliced strawberries
2 cups blueberries
2 cups raspberries

Lemon Curd 
5 Egg Yolks
1 Cup Sugar
1/3 cup of fresh lemon juice and zest (about 3 lemons worth)
1 Stick of Butter - Cut into small pieces then chilled

 The Quest!
First, let's make the lemon curd! We covered this in our Pi Day Special and I can't encourage you enough to make your own. It is so easy and so much cheaper than buying it. Anyways, in a double-boiler bowl, combine egg yolks and sugar whisk until smooth, about 1 minute. Zest and squeeze the lemons. Add juice and zest to egg mixture and whisk smooth. Place on double boiler. Continuously whisk until thickened over medium heat, approximately 8 minutes, or until mixture coats the back of a spoon and is generally the consistency of pudding. Remove promptly from heat and stir in butter a piece at a time. Transfer to a container and chill for at least 2 hours.

Next prepare your cake. You can make a cake from scratch, use a cake mix or a pre-made cake from the bakery - really whatever floats your boat. Cut your cake into small slices. Wash and prep your berries.
Note: I used a GF Betty Crocker Cake Mix. This makes the equivalent of a one layer cake. So, you may need to double your berries and cream filling if you are using a two layer cake. 


With a hand mixer, whip your cream with 2 T. of sugar until you have stiff peaks - not butter!!! Set aside. Beat your marscapone cheese with 2 T. of sugar until soft then add lemon juice and mix to combine. Fold in whipped cream.





In a bowl place a layer of berries. You can chooses to either keep your berries separated as I did or you can mix them together. Then add a layer of marscapone cheese mixture on top of the berries. The next layer is a layer of cake followed by a layer of lemon curd. Then we repeat the layers.



 

On the top of the layers, place three golden triangles of cake that were left from the remnants of cake. Divide the remaining berries into three parts around the triforce. Enjoy!

Quest 40: Snapper Den!

Today's quest takes us deep into Woodfall where we find ourselves among the Snappers. These devilish turtles spin themselves around in order to knock us down and keeping us from reaching our goals. Therefore, we shall make a nummy treat of these Snappers that will make you lick your fingers clean!. These turtles would also be fun for a Mario Party or other video game themed get together. Enjoy!

6 oz. Royal Blue Candy Melts
6 oz. Dark Chocolate Candy Melts
3 oz. White Candy Melts
1/8 cup Caramel Sundae Sauce
1/2 cup Whole Pecans
1/2 cup Whole Walnuts
Silicone Mat or Parchment Paper
1/4 Measuring Spoon
Disposable Measuring Spoon


The Quest!

Arrange your nuts in a star pattern on  a silicone mat or parchment paper.







In a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate candy melts until just melted.







Spoon the chocolate over the arranged nuts to create the base of the candy. Let set up for a few minutes.







Taking the hot water from the double boiler, dip a 1/4 teaspoon into the hot water to warm the spoon and scoop out a ball of caramel sauce. Place the caramel ball onto each of the candies and let the chocolate set up completely.





Melt the royal blue candy melts in a double boiler until just melted. Spoon over the turtles to form the shell of the turtle. Let set up completely.






In a disposable icing bag, add the white melting candies. Place on a paper plate and microwave for a minute. Note: I checked mine every 30 seconds and still ended up with a small hole melted into the bag. Candy will be hot, so caution.





Snip off the very end of the bag and pipe a ring around the edge of each turtle.







Once this is completed, use any remaining to create designs on the shell. Let set up before serving.
