Making cinnamon rolls was supposed to be easy, but looking at the dough, I knew I was mistaken. Something had gone disastrously wrong, it was sticky, too sticky. The dough was sticking to the counter despite it having been sprinkled with flour. It was on the rolling pin and all over my hands. I gave it handful after handful of flour, yet it seemed only to make it worse. I picked it up and tossed it back down over and over and continued to try to knead the dough into submission, to no avail. I grew even more frustrated at myself and the dough; this was supposed to be easy. I have made all different types of bread: bagels, challah, ciabatta, raspberry sweet rolls, cranberry nut swirl bread, and more; why was this not working? I took a step back, giving it a skeptical look. I brought the dough up and slammed it on the counter repeatedly, kneading it vigorously in between. With one last slam on the counter, I was ready to give up. I had kneaded for over twenty minutes now. I gave a sigh of defeat. I prepared myself to …show more content…
I looked at my hands and they were covered in the sticky mess. I looked at my pans. They were ready to go, laid out and greased. I looked at the rolling pin, covered in dough from my attempt to roll the dough out. I finally looked back upon all my previous bakes, and I thought to myself, I am not ready to give up. Cinnamon rolls may have not been the possibility, but perhaps something completely new was in order. Taking a small chunk of dough, I shaped it into a ball and pushed my finger into the center, as if making a thumbprint cookie. Next, I took a spoonful of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. I put it into the depression and placed it into the pan. I repeated it over and over, feeling better the more I made. The sticky mess had turned out to become what I now call cinnamon bombs. After their rise time and time in the oven, they had turned into a delicious treat that everyone
The baker will start by melting the one stick of butter in the oven safe dish. Take the paper off of the stick butter and place the stick of butter in the oven safe dish, then place the oven safe dish in the preheated oven until butter is melted, after the butter is melted put on oven mitts and remove the oven safe dish from the oven.

There is something found in this particular island that can be used to flavour and prepare certain foods, used in several medical remedies and also be used as psychoactive drug. With these uses only a sample of the overall uses, it is no surprise that in Grenadians refer to this as ‘Black Gold.’ It is so important to this particular country, that if it wasn’t for a few natural disasters, Grenada will still have its place among the top producers of this product, number two to be specific. I am sure that all the Grenadians in this class have figured out to what I am referring, if you haven’t yet it is none other than the ‘Nutmeg’. Good afternoon Mr Charles, T.A.’s and fellow classmates, my purpose today is to educate you about the many sides of the versatile fruit that is the nutmeg. I plan to first highlight the uses nutmeg has in food preparation, its importance in the medical field and lastly nutmeg as a recreational drug.
What you are going to do first is put corn oil on your palms, so that the dough will not stick to your hands.
I came up with different recipes and made three different kinds of cotton candy cookies. I asked all my classmates to taste them and provide their vote on which one they like the best. The cookie the majority of the class liked was the first one I made. When I was making cookies and researching I learned a lot! For example, did you know that drinking milk can increase your chance in developing heart disease, cancer and diabetes? I didn’t either until I was researching about milk because I thought I might use it in my recipe! Also, the first time I made a cookie it didn’t turn out very well. It tasted disgusting and like flour! When I tried again, I had someone help and she told us what I did wrong. I learned that if you put both butter and margarine, it will taste better. I also learned that you need both baking soda and baking powder to make the cookie rise. You might be wondering why the first cookie I made won. Well, most people voted for the first cookie because the green cookie was to brittle and bitter and the other cookie was way to sweet with both icing and
Upon entering the magazine aisle at the local grocery store, one is overwhelmed with hoards of publications targeted at every type of person imaginable—outdoorsmen, homemakers, car-lovers, and the list goes on. In the rows and rows of these diverse magazines, lays one meant just for teenage girls. Seventeen magazine entices girls aged 13 to 18 with fun, colorful fonts and widely-known cover models in trendy clothing. On one of the magazine covers alone, Seventeen promises to teach girls how to own their school year, amp up their confidence, and get their parents to chill, all while giving them the chance to win a 1,000 dollar fashion haul. Seventeen seems to almost act as a bible for teenage girls, and if they take it as seriously as they do
Then I sat the tie on the counter to the left of the towel and grab two slices of bread from the bag with my right hand. I then lay the bread down on the towel flat, side by side. Next, I hold the open end of the bread bag with my right hand and spin the bottom with my left. Then I hold the twisted part, pick up the twist tie with my right hand and tie the bread up. I lay the bread down on the counter and grab the `jar of peanut butter. I hold the jar in my left hand and unscrew the lid with my right. After unscrewing the lid, I lay it down on the counter and pick up the knife by the handle. Once the knife was in hand I scoop out some peanut butter onto my knife. I then spread it evenly onto one slice of bread until completely covered and is about an eighth of an inch thick. I repeat these steps on the other slice and sat the peanut butter jar down. Then, I grasp the edge of the paper towel with my thumb and forefinger of my left hand and wipe the peanut butter off from the bottom to the tip. Afterward, I place the knife back on the
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) has many common everyday uses and some not so common uses. Everybody has probably used cinnamon for some reason, whether for cooking purposes or medicinal purposes. Despite being widely used in food and pharmacy it is also important in the cosmetic and perfumery industries (7). In some areas cinnamon has been known to be used for religious purposes.
I eat flattened fruit ‘n’ pastry bars from a side pocket in my purse and wish for
When hearing that the renowned Pumpkin Spice Latte is now available, what comes to mind? Now-a-days, the term pumpkin spice has become the welcoming to the fall season. Every year at the beginning of the season, anything and everything pumpkin spice is heavily advertised. Many companies have started incorporating pumpkin spice into their products in various ways. For example, during the fall season many food and drinks, candles, and hair and body products all become available in various pumpkin spice flavors and scents. In today’s modern society, fall is almost being defined by pumpkin spice. Pumpkin spice is only around for a limited time each year and so many people tend to jump on the bandwagon. Pumpkin spice can very well serve as a general
I take out two slices of bread and put them onto a wooden cutting board. I put a few thin slices of turkey onto one piece of bread. I then take the other piece and gently nestle it on top of the turkey. I put the sandwich onto a paper plate and take it to the table. I look at it and think to myself, job well done. But I can’t help thinking that I’m missing something. Oh yes! Miracle Whip.
When I was ten years old I remember sitting on the kitchen counter watching my remarkable stepfather cook. He would take the extra time to peel the garlic instead of smashing it open. He would slice vegetables so delicately as though he was afraid to hurt them. This man introduced me to the love I have for cooking. He gave me the inspiration to explore and create messes when working in the kitchen. “There 's something amazing about taking a mishmash of seemingly unrelated ingredients -- a bay leaf here, some garlic powder there, a teaspoon of vinegar -- and creating something new and wonderful that you can share with those you love.” (Hill, 2015, para. 3). He showed me how I can create something my own, with healthy common ingredients I was familiar with.
The recipe was named the Toll House Cookie. One day Nestlé was going over their
If you are still unenthusiastic, I should tell you that even though you might have been eating boiled down and mixed pieces of insects, you might be interested to know that there is more to a loaf of bread besides wheat, flour and yeast. In the UK, each kilo of bread flour is allowed to contain insect ‘filth’ and over 1500 insect fragments. And honey? That’s multi-regurgitated bee vomit.
So my father had built his Master Chief's office, and he had wired the lock so he knew the code. There was shipments of sticky buns every so often, and my fathers Master Chief had an obsession with sticky buns, little did he know, so did my dad. My father would get into Master Chief's office and steal his sticky buns, leaving a single wrapper on his desk. Getting irritated Master Chief pulled his squadron together to find the sticky bun thief, my dad was excused, as he had something to do. Master Chief's Office had a giant window facing the area, where Master Chief was chewing out his squadron. My father, while listening to Master Chief yell at everyone for stealing his sticky buns, was up in Master Chief's office, where everyone could see him, eating Master Chief's sticky buns. Despite being at war, and despite the hole of depression that leaving his family left, he was able to stay happy by pulling pranks like
She takes out the Pillsbury pop biscuit cans from the refrigerator and hands them over. We don 't waste any time. Peeling away some of the label, I push my thumb against the cardboard until it gives way and makes a loud “pop.” I split it open to reveal the pre-cut biscuits, laying them on a greased up aluminum foil-covered pizza pan and threw them into the oven. My mom plucked tomatoes off their vine, chopped them up, and placed them in a bowl with some cilantro as a topping to compliment the small breakfast sandwiches we’ve been having every Sunday for
