Serving Size : 48 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Desserts Cookies

Low-Fat

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method

——– ———— ——————————–

—–WALDINE VAN GEFFEN VGHC42A—–

1 tablespoon Molasses

3 Raw egg whites

1 cup Dark raisins

1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla

1 cup Light brown sugar — packed

1 cup Granulated sugar

1/2 cup Non-fat dry milk powder

1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

1 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder

2 1/2 cups Quaker brand quick-cooking — rolled oats

1 cup All-purpose flour

Put molasses, egg whites and raisins into blender and blend on high speed

just to mince but not to puree (about 5-10 seconds). Empty mixture into

medium mixing bowl. With mixer beat in on medium speed each of the

remaining ingredients, beating well after each addition, adding both the

oats and flour in small portions. Switch to mixing spoon if dough becomes

too stiff for mixer. Lightly spray cookie sheet with Pam and wipe off

excess lightly with paper towel; any excess of the cookie sheet may burn

while cookies are baking. You need only a very light film of the Pam just

to keep cookies from sticking. Use 1 measuring teaspoonful of dough for

each cookie and place 2″ apart on prepared cookie sheet. Bake in preheated

350~ oven 6-8 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool on paper towels, removing

from cookie sheets carefully.

December 05th, 2009 | Category: Copycat Recipes

Recipe By : El Torito Restaurant, California

Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:30

Categories : Breads Copycat

Mexican

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method

——– ———— ——————————–

1/4 cup butter or margarine

2 tablespoons shortening

1/2 cup masa harina

3 tablespoons cold water

10 ounces corn kernels

3 tablespoons cornmeal

1/4 cup sugar

2 tablespoons whipping cream

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

My favorite, and well worth the effort. Masa harina comes in a bag like

flour and can be found with the flour in most supermarkets. It’s the flour

to use for corn tortillas. The recipe doubles easily and turns out well with

either of the two methods provided. — Ann Weeks, Corona Method two is the

moist scoop we usually get at the restaurant. — patH

—–

Place butter and shortening in mixer bowl and whip until soft; continue

whipping until fluffy and creamy. Add masa gradually while mixing; add water

gradually and mix thoroughly.

Place corn kernels in blender or food processor fitted with metal blade;

coarsely chop. Stir into the masa harina. Place (regular) cornmeal, sugar,

whipping cream, baking powder and salt in large mixing bowl; mix quickly.

Add masa mixture and mix lightly, just until blended. Pour into greased

8-inch-square baking pan. Cover with foil.

Method 1: Bake in 350-degree oven 40 to 50 minutes or until corn cake has a

firm texture.

Method 2: Place pan in a larger pan and pour boiling water half way up corn

cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees 40 to 50 minutes, checking water level and

adding more boiling water, if necessary. When cooked through, remove corn

cake pan from water.

Let cooked cake stand at room temperature for few minutes before cutting

into squares or using a small ice cream scoop to serve.

Makes 10 to 12 small servings. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
