Cracker Barrel Sunday Homestyle Chicken

Cracker Barrel Sunday Homestyle Chicken
This dish is only served on Sundays ad Cracker Barrel, but you can make it at home anytime. Crispy, thick breading on buttermilk chicken is oh so good! Frying in oil is a time saver – done in 20 minutes.

• oil for frying
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup water

Pour 3 to 4 inches of oil into a deep fryer or large pot and preheat the oil to 350 degrees.
Prepare seasoned flour by combining the flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir to combine well. In another bowl mix together the buttermilk and water. If your chicken breasts are not fairly uniform in size place them between two pieces of wax paper and gently pound them out with a meat pounder until they are more uniform in size. This will help with even cooking times. Pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper and then dredge into the flour, dip in buttermilk, and then dredge again in the seasoned flour and deep-fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil. Turn the chicken breasts during the cooking to make sure that both sides of the chicken are golden brown. This should take 7 to 8 minutes for each one to cook. When the chicken is done drain in a wire rack.

FOR THE SAUCE

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

To make the sauce, saute the onions, carrot, celery, and garlic in the olive oil until golden. Add the tomatoes, mashing them in the pot as they are added. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat, uncovered, for 1 hour. Add salt, pepper, sugar, and red pepper flakes; cook for another 1/2
hour, covered. In the last 20 minutes of cooking, add the red wine.

To make the bechamel sauce, bring the milk to a simmer in a small saucepan. Melt the butter in another saucepan and gradually whisk in the flour.

Return the saucepan to low heat and cook, whisking constantly, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the sauce is medium thick. Add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Cook the lasagna noodles in salted boiling water, with a few drops of olive oil, until al dente. Drain.

Spoon on a third of the ricotta cheese, then a third of the bechamel sauce. Cover with a layer of pasta, then tomato sauce, a third of the ricotta and a third of the bechamel. Repeat one more time.

How to Make Corned Beef from Scratch

How to Make Corned Beef from Scratch
A quick heads-up: This recipe requires multiple days. But don't let the time scare you. The steps are simple and the flavor payoff is second to none. It'll take about 10 days to brine the meat, so if it's for a big event, schedule it into your calendar early.


Ingredients

1 gallon water
1-1/2 cups kosher salt
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup mixed pickling spices, divided
4 teaspoons pink curing salt
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 fresh beef brisket (4 to 5 pounds)
2 large carrots, chopped
2 medium onions, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped


Supplies

Large stockpot
2 oven roasting bags
Dutch oven
Enough room in your fridge to store the brisket for 10 days




In a large stockpot, combine water, kosher salt, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons pickling spices, pink curing salt and garlic. Bring the brine to a simmer and stir until salt and sugar are dissolved. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until chilled.

Pink Curing Salt?

Not all pink-colored salts are created equal. Unlike Himalayan pink salt, or other rosy salts on the market, pink curing salt is made using sodium nitrate, which prevents food from spoiling while being stored for a lengthy time. Curing salt is often dyed red so it's not mistaken for standard table salt.

Step 2: Let's Wrap

It's time to play Russian nesting doll with your oven-roasting bags. Open them both and place one inside the other. Tuck the brisket into the innermost bag and carefully add in the cooled brine. Be sure that it pools over and around the brisket. Then seal both bags. Try to press as much air out as possible before sealing. Before placing in the fridge, turn the meat a few times to evenly coat it.

Step 3: The Waiting Game

Clear a special place in the fridge for the brisket to live. Keep it refrigerated for 10 days so that the meat can properly soak in all the spiced flavor. Be sure to turn the brisket over occasionally so that it remains evenly coated.

Step 4: Time to Cook

The corned beef is almost ready. Wake up the brisket from its chilled slumber by removing it from the brine. Give the cut a thorough rinse and place it in a Dutch oven with enough water to cover. Add in carrots, celery and the remaining pickling spices and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, cover and add water if necessary to keep brisket covered. Cook for about 3 hours or until meat is tender.

Step 5: Let's Dig In

At long last your corned beef is ready to serve, hot or cold. Use a sharpened knife to cut the brisket into thin slices. Slap it onto a sandwich or serve with additional vegetables simmered until tender.

To eat the beef at a later date, refrigerate it in the cooking liquid. It'll keep for several days. Reheat in that same liquid when you're ready to serve.



Homemade Pickling Spice

1 tablespoon whole allspice
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 whole cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf, crumbled
1 cinnamon stick (2 inches)



Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight jar or container. Use in favorite pickle recipes. Yield: 1/3 cup.

Stocking Your Pantry-Spices

If you love to cook…and I do….then having the right spices on hand is essential to great
food.

The list could be longer depending on your enthusiasm, but here are the “basics”:

Cinnamon-Mostly used in desserts, baking and drinks. But you can sprinkle it on buttered toast or in plain yogurt for some flavor…TIP…it has health benefits by helping to control blood sugar…so do sprinkle it on that toast or in your morning yogurt. Also a sprinkle is great on fruit..apples…bananas…vegetables…sweet potatoes…squash. Cinnamon is a staple in Mediterranean recipes.

Cayenne-Not for every taste bud if you don’t care for some “heat”…but a ‘must have’ if you’re cooking Mexican dishes...another health tip…helps stimulate digestion. Also I’m told (because I am one)..as you approach your “senior” years..you’ll prefer spicer tasting foods.

Chili Powder-Doesn’t have the heat of cayenne but does add that extra zip…made from hot peppers. Use it in barbecue sauces, chili and any other Mexican dish you enjoy.

Garlic (Powder or minced in a jar) - a true essential for Italian dishes. Sprinkle powder or spread minced on buttered bread, then toast in oven to go with your pasta dishes. It’s also great in dips, cheese spreads, stews and the always popular Bloody Mary! Another health tip…helps lower blood pressure.
Gloves-What’s a good pumpkin pie or baked ham without gloves. Obviously for your pies…powered glove. Be careful as cloves can be overwhelming so use sparingly.
Oregano-A spice with many uses….always used in pizza or pasta sauces..mix into meatloaf recipes. Add to vegetable soup or a fish stuffing.
Paprika-Use in soups, all types of chowders and on fresh vegetables. Frequently used as topping on deviled eggs or a garnish on any kind of salad.
Parsley-While a frequent ingredient in recipes, it is best known as a garnish. Use it in soups, fish and casseroles. Sprinkle on top of a good cheese omelet.
Rosemary-Has a very woody fragrance. Great in marinades for grilling meats. Fresh sprigs…the best way to get rosemary…can be use a garnish…very decorative.
Bay Leaves-Most common in soups, stews and sauces. Flavor goes along way so use sparingly…usually one or two in a recipe. Useful household tip..they make great bug repellent in your pantry !

Basil-Its best known for its aromatic appeal. Main ingredient in making fresh pesto. Also used to add fresh flavor in a variety of dishes from sauces to fish.
That’s a good primer on the “basic” spices to have on hand.
A couple tips….
Often you can use either the fresh or dried version of the spice.
When cooking with fresh and dry herbs, there is a general rule when it comes to the ratio of fresh to dry. Because dried herbs are generally more potent and concentrated than fresh herbs, you'll need less -- typically three times the amount of fresh herbs as dry. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of fresh oregano, you need only 1 teaspoon of dried, since 3 teaspoons equal 1 tablespoon.
Storage…. Fresh-cut herbs can be wrapped in a paper towel, stored in re-sealable plastic bags, and then put into the refrigerator. Dried herbs should be stored out of the light and in a cool, dry place. Keep an eye on how long your herbs have been open -- if they've been open for too long, they'll smell and taste less potent.

Notes
Use the Easy Jellyroll Cake recipe below or use your favorite recipe.
If using a store-bough cake, buy one that is at least 10 inches long.

Easy Jellyroll Cake

¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon table salt
5 large eggs, at room temperature
¾ cup sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups fruit jam
Confectioners' sugar for dusting

1. Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a 15 by 10-inch jelly roll pan with vegetable oil spray, then line with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl and set aside.

2. Whip the eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until foamy, 1 to 3 minutes. Increase the mixer speed to medium and slowly add the sugar in a steady stream. Increase the speed to high and continue to beat until the eggs are very thick and a pale yellow color, 5 to 10 minutes. Beat in the vanilla.

3. Sift the flour mixture over the beaten eggs and fold in using a large rubber spatula until no traces of flour remain.

4. Following the photos, pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread out to an even thickness. Bake until the cake feels firm and springs back when touched, 10 to 15 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking.

5. Before cooling, run a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen, then flip the cake out onto a large sheet of parchment paper (slightly longer than the cake). Gently peel off the parchment paper attached to the bottom of the cake and roll the cake and parchment up into a log and let cool for 15 minutes.

6. Gently unroll the cake and spread on the jam, leaving a 1-inch border at the edges. Re-roll the cake gently but snugly around the jam, leaving the parchment behind as you go. Trim the ends, then transfer the cake to a platter. Let the cake cool completely, then dust with confectioners’ sugar before slicing and serving.

To Make Ahead

The rolled cake can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and kept at room temperature for up to 1 day.

“Helpers”

“Helpers”
Getting tired of hotdogs and hamburgers this summer? Need something easy and fast? Why not make your own “helper” and give your family something a bit different to enjoy. A pound of beef or turkey, egg noodles or elbow macaroni (or your choice or macaroni) and simple seasonings of your choice for different varieties – that’s it – cheaper than the boxed stuff and without all those additives and preservatives.

Steak and Shake Garlic Double Steakburger




1 1/2 pound ground chuck
Burger seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
Garlic Butter
1/2 cup butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
8 slices of American cheese (I used white and yellow American cheese)

Divide ground chuck into 8 small balls.

Prepare burger seasoning by combining the salt, black pepper, onion salt, and garlic salt together in a small bowl.

Prepare the garlic butter by melting together the butter and adding the two teaspoons of minced garlic in a small saucepan. Heat melted butter for 3 to 5 minutes or until the garlic butter becomes fragrant.

Brush the garlic butter onto the buns, and place the buns on the skillet to toast. Toast the buns long enough so the bread begins to brown. Brush a small amount of the butter on top of the burger and then sprinkle some garlic salt on top of the burger.

Heat the grill or iron skillet to medium high heat. As you place the balls of ground beef on the heated surface use a spatula to press the burgers into thin patties. Season patties with burger seasoning. When the burgers have cooked on one side, flip them over and add a slice of cheese to each patty. Stack half of the burger patties on top of the other.

Place the patties onto the buns. Dress the burgers as you desire.


Homemade Beef or Chicken Rice-A-Roni

Homemade Beef or Chicken Rice-A-Roni


3/4 cup rice
1/2 cup angel hair pasta, broken into small pieces, or vermicelli if you can find it
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 cube beef or chicken bouillon
1/4 cup diced onion (for beef version)
2 2/3 cups hot water


In medium skillet (with lid), melt the butter or margarine over medium heat. Add rice and pasta and cook, stirring, until lightly browned.

Dissolve bouillon cube or soup mix in hot water and add to skillet. (Also add diced onion if not using soup mix for the beef flavor.) Bring to a simmer and cover.

Simmer on low heat, covered, approximately 20 minutes, or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. If necessary, add more water and continue simmering until rice is tender.


Noodles and Company Truffle Mac




1 lb. elbow macaroni
1/4 c. + 2 Tbsp. butter, divided
1/4 c. flour
2 1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. cream
1 c. shredded cheddar-jack cheese blend
1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
3/4 tsp. - 1 tsp. white truffle oil
salt and pepper to taste
2 c. sliced crimini mushrooms
1 c. panko breadcrumbs
fresh parsley, finely chopped

Cook pasta according to package directions, drain well.

In a large saucepan, melt 1/4 c. butter over medium heat. Add flour and stir to combine well. Let cook and bubble 1 minute or so, or until mixture smells toasty. Add a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper. (A quick note about roux-making: I like to start with a wooden spoon, then switch to a whisk when I add liquid.) Whisk vigorously as you add the milk. Turn heat up to medium-high, and cook, stirring frequently, until just thick enough to lightly coat the back of a spoon. (I mean it. Don't let it thicken too much.) Add more milk if it gets too thick.

While this is happening, sautee mushrooms in 1 Tbsp. of butter (or oil, if you like), and likewise toast the breadcrumbs over low heat, in 1 Tbsp. of melted butter, until golden. Set aside.

Remove sauce mixture from heat and add cheeses, cream, and truffle oil. Stir until cheese is melted and incorporated. Taste and add salt and pepper as desired.

When ready to serve, ladle some sauce in the bottom of your bowl. Spoon in pasta, then top with more sauce, mushrooms, breadcrumbs, parsley, and more parmesan. Drizzle a little more truffle oil on each serving if you like.

Panda Express Sweet Fire Chicken and Cream Cheese Rangoons with Sweet and Sour Sauce

Panda Express Sweet Fire Chicken and Cream Cheese Rangoons with Sweet and Sour Sauce
Start with your appetizer - Panda Express Cream Cheese Rangoons - Wonton wrappers filled with cream cheese and served with sweet and sour sauce.
Panda Express Sweet and Sour Sauce - This quick and easy recipe is great for your appetizers!
Enjoy your entree - Panda Express Sweet Fire Chicken - Crispy chicken with garlic, red bell peppers, onions and pineapples in a sweet and spicy chili sauce.


Panda Express Cream Cheese Rangoon Wontons
Vegetable shortening or oil, for frying
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions (green onions)
Garlic powder (optional)
Wonton wrappers

Heat enough vegetable shortening or oil to fill 2 to 3 inches in a medium pot to 350 degrees F. If you have an electric fryer, you can use that.

Beat together the cream cheese and scallions. If desired a touch of garlic powder may be added for additional flavor. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese mixture onto a wonton wrapper. Fold the wonton by brushing a little water over all of the edges of the wonton skin. Fold the wonton diagonally into a triangle. Be sure to seal all of the edges completely; this will keep the filling from running out of the wonton when being cooked. Take the two opposite corners and press and twist them together. You may need to tack them together by brushing with a little water.

When the shortening is heated, you can use a thermometer and test to see that it is 350 degrees F, or you may test with a small piece of wonton wrapper. If the wrapper bubbles immediately when dropped into the hot fat, it is ready. Drop only 4 or 5 pieces at a time into the hot fat. After about 1 minute, the wonton will begin to brown, then it will brown rapidly, so be careful to remove it when it is lightly browned. If your oil is shallow, you may need to flip over the wonton. Carefully remove the wontons and drain briefly on paper towels before serving.


Panda Express Sweet and Sour Sauce

• 1 1/4 cups water, divided
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup corn starch
• red food coloring (optional, but for authentic color I had to add a few drops)

1. Add 1 cup water, white vinegar and sugar to a saucepan and bring to a boil.
2. Add the cornstarch to the remaining 1/4 cup of water in a small bowl and whisk until the cornstarch is dissolved.
3. Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and whisk it all together.
4. Reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.




Panda Express Sweet Fire Chicken

• 4 chicken breasts, cut into strips
• 1 cup cornstarch (more may be needed)
• 1 cup flour (more may be needed)
• 3 eggs, beaten well
• vegetable oil (for frying, or oil of your choice)

• Sweet Fire Sauce
• 2 red jalapenos, chopped fine (you can adjust the amount according to your heat preference)
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
• 3⁄4 cup water
• 1⁄4 cup white vinegar
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

1. For the chicken, dip strips in flour. I usually do this by putting the chicken strips in a big zip-top bag with the flour in it, and shake until all of the chicken pieces are evenly covered with flour. Next, drop the chicken strips in the beaten egg. Again, I do this all at once. Just make sure the egg is in a big bowl, dump all of the chicken strips in, and evenly coat. Lastly, dip in cornstarch. This time the process is a little more precise, so I take about one-third of the strips and toss them in a zip-top bag with cornstarch. Lay them on a wire rack to prep for frying, and repeat the process.
2. In a large skillet, heat oil to medium-high heat. Carefully lay chicken strips into the oil. Be careful to not crowd the pan. Fry the strips for about 1 minute, and then flip them over. Once they are evenly goldish-brown, and appear to be crispy, remove them from the oil and lay on a wire cooling rack lined with paper towels to allow the excess oil to drain off of them. Set aside and make the sauce.
3. For the sauce, combine all ingredients, except for cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of water, in a food processor. Blend until the ingredients are well combined, and garlic and jalapeño is finely minced into the liquid. Next, place the mixture into a medium saucepan, and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Combine the cornstarch and water in a separate container to form a thick paste. Incorporate paste into the simmering sauce. Whisk together, until the sauce starts to thicken slightly. Remove from heat, and toss in pineapple chunks (or use fresh pineapple if you prefer it).
4. In a large skillet, heat the sauce to a simmering, and add the fried chicken strips. Simmer for about five minutes, or until all of the chicken strips are well coated and reheated (if they were set aside to cool for a long time). Serve over white rice, or by itself.

Shoney's Hot Fudge Cake



For the Cake

1 package Duncan Hines Devil’s Food Cake Mix
3 large eggs
1/2 cup store-bought chocolate syrup, such as Hershey’s
1/2 cup cold water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
3/8 (scant 1/2 teaspoon) teaspoon kosher salt
1 carton vanilla or vanilla bean ice cream (do not use French vanilla) (Use the rectangular cartons of ice cream)

For the Hot Fudge Sauce

1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
8 oz (by weight) bittersweet chocolate (chips or chopped chocolate)
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon corn syrup or dark corn syrup
Heavy pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract

Cake Assembly

Lightly sweetened homemade or canned whipped cream
Maraschino cherries drained and patted dry, one per serving

For the Cake

Heat the oven to 350F. Grease a 9”x13” metal cake pan.
(Don’t use glass, because you want the cake to have straight sides)
Line the bottom of the pan with parchment, and spray lightly.
Set aside.

Combine cake mix and the rest of the cake ingredients in a large bowl.
With a hand mixer, mix on low speed for about 30 seconds. Scrape the bowl.
Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl as necessary.

Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the batter.
Bake for 22-25 minutes or until cake springs back when pressed lightly and the cake starts to shrink away from the sides of the pan.

Remove to a rack to cool for 10 minutes.
Then turn out onto a cooling rack. Peel off the parchment and let the cake cool completely.

To Make the Fudge Sauce

Combine all ingredients except vanilla in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Heat on medium heat, stirring constantly until all the chocolate has melted.

Stir in the vanilla after you have removed the pan from the stove.
This way the vanilla will not evaporate.

Keep warm (or reheat) for serving.

Makes a generous 2 cups of sauce.

To Assemble

Level the top of the cake if necessary with a knife.
You want the cake pieces to have the same thickness so it looks uniform when served.
Carefully slice the cake in half horizontally.
Leave the halves in place.
Each half should be about 3/4 inch thick.

Cut the cake in half, short-wise.
You will end up with 4 rectangles of cake, each about 9” x 6”.
Set half the cake aside (for another use or to repeat the assembly process depending on how much hot fudge cake you want).

Spread 2 long, overlapping sheets of plastic wrap on the counter.
Place the bottom rectangle of cake on the wrap.
Peel off the cardboard from around the ice cream.

Slice the ice cream into 3/4” slices and arrange them, touching, on top of the cake layer.
You will have to trim some to fit.
You will probably not use all the ice cream, so put the leftover portion in a freezer container to eat later.

Place the second rectangle of cake on top of the ice cream and press down lightly.
Wrap the cake in the plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours.

To Serve

Slice the Cake into 6 squares, each approximately 2” per side.

Pour some of the fudge sauce over, top with whipped cream and a cherry.

Bojangles Cinnamon Breakfast Biscuit




CINNAMON FILLING

1/2 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
3 tbsp flour
2 tbsp butter, melted

BISCUITS

2 cups self rising flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup salted butter, very cold, cubed*
1/4 cup butter flavored shortening, very cold, cubed
3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp buttermilk

VANILLA GLAZE

3/4 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tbsp milk

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Make cinnamon filling by combining brown sugar, cinnamon, flour and melted butter. Set aside.
3. In a separate medium-size bowl, combine flour, baking powder, powdered sugar and cinnamon.
4. Use a pastry cutter to cut 1/4 cup butter and shortening into the flour mixture. Your butter and shortening should be cold enough to stay in pieces and not blend into the flour. You want to have little bits of butter and shortening throughout.
5. Make a hole in the center of your flour mixture, then pour in the buttermilk.
6. Use a wooden spoon to carefully fold the ingredients together until just combined. Dough will be sticky.
7. Knead the dough 2-3 times on a lightly floured surface. Do no over knead. You should still see bits of butter and shortening and dough should be coarsely combined, not smooth. Spread the dough out to desired thickness. I was about to get 4 biscuits from the first round of cutting.
8. Use a sharp biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Do not use a spinning motion to cut biscuits. Press down, then lift up. You’ll have more dough that you can cut a couple more biscuits from, but be careful not to over knead it when re-spreading it.
9. Place biscuits on an unlined baking sheet, preferably lighter in color.
10. Make a little dent in the center of the biscuits. Add about 1 tablespoon of cinnamon filling to the hole.
11. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until lightly brown on the lights and edges.
12. Remove biscuits from oven, then brush with remaining 1/4 cup of butter, melted.
13. Remove biscuits to a plate to cool and top with vanilla glaze.

*Note that half of the butter will be used in the biscuits and the other half is melted for brushing over the top of the baked biscuits.

1 cup water
1 cup vinegar

Due to cross contamination - I reserve some of the marinade and use for basting so that the raw chicken never touches it.


Dunkin Donuts French Cruller




1 cup hot water
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (85 grams), cut into cubes
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
pinch of salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
2 egg whites, room temperature
vegetable oil for frying
Glaze:
1½ cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk

Cut 12 squares of parchment paper, the squares must be approximatively the size of your palm.
They will be used to pipe the donuts onto.
Arrange them on a baking sheet and spray with baking spray. Set aside.
In a large medium bowl mix powdered sugar and milk until well combined.
The mixture must be smooth with no lumps and it should be a little thick, but still pourable.
For a more transparent glaze, add one extra tablespoon of milk.
For a thicker glaze add less milk. Set aside.
In a medium sauce pan over medium heat combine water, butter,
granulated sugar and salt until completely incorporated and the butter is fully melted.
Stir often.
Once the butter is completely melted, using a wooden spoon stir in 1 cup of flour,
and work very quickly to incorporate the flour into the butter mixture over medium heat.
Cook it on medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
This will remove the extra moisture from the batter, and make the donuts lighter.
Transfer the batter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and
mix the batter for 1 minuts on medium - high speed to cool it off.
Reduce mixer speed to medium and mix in the eggs one at a time. Followed by the egg whites,
mix until fully combined and the mixture is shiny.
Transfer the mixture to a large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe the donut rings onto the prepared paper squares.
Fill a heavy bottomed sauce pan with 2-3 inches of vegetable oil, once the oil reaches 370 F reduce the heat to medium low and start frying the donuts.
With the help of a spatula transfer a donut to the pan, parchment paper side up,
fry for a few seconds and using chopsticks remove the paper and discard.
Fry the donuts 1 minute per side, until puffy and golden brown.
Remove from the pan and place on a cooling rack, using a spoon pour some of the glaze immediately onto the donut.
Repeat with the remaining donuts.
Let the glaze settle for 30 minutes.

Fazoli's Mini Cookbook

Fazoli's
Fazoli's is an Italian-American fast casual restaurant chain specializing in Italian cuisine based out of Lexington, Kentucky that was founded in 1988.
With every meal from their kitchen, they're committed to eliminating all artificial preservatives and additives. You'll only find real ingredients, real flavor and nothing you can't pronounce.



Fazoli's Seafood Stuffed Shells:

8 ounces of ricotta cheese
1 egg beaten
1/2 Cup mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup small shrimp steamed and chopped or 1 small can of tiny shrimp
8 Ounce Lobster or Lobster-Like
Pinch of garlic salt
Your own Alfredo sauce or 1 jar of commercial sauce
Large stuffing shells, cooked as package directs
Spaghetti, cook as package directs
Your own tomato sauce

Mix ricotta cheese and egg. Add mozzarella cheese, shrimp, lobster and garlic salt. Fill cooked shells. Pour a little sauce in bottom of 8"x8" baking pan. Add shells. Pour sauce (how ever much you like) over shells. Cover and bake at 350 until hot (about 25 minutes). Serve over spaghetti with tomato sauce. Servings: 4




Fazoli's Breadsticks:
Start with plain bread sticks, place them in a pan. In a bowl mix together margarine and kosher salt. One cup margarine to 3 Tblsp of Kosher salt. Stir and brush on bread sticks. Bake at 400ºF serve hot. They use a product called "Whirl" - Whirl butter flavored oil adds delicious butter flavor to everything you make, without the hassles of butter or margarine. Whirl's authentic butter flavor makes it great for brushing on pizza crusts and breadsticks and as a replacement for butter or margarine in wing sauces.



FAZOLI'S GRILLED CHICKEN PANINI AND
PENNE MARINARA WITH PEPPERY CHICKEN


1 grilled focaccia bread
1 oz lite Italian dressing
1 whole grilled chicken breast, hot
2 shakes oregano
1/2 oz provolone cheese
1 romaine lettuce
2 tomato slices

Start by cutting focaccia into lengthwise pieces, separate and place crust down on workspace. Cover both sides with your favorite lite Italian dressing.

Grill chicken and slice thinly if desired.

Place chicken on prepared focaccia, then shake oregano, cover chicken with provolone, then top with lettuce and tomato. Enjoy.

Can also be prepared, then grilled in panini machine to create grill marks and melt cheese.





FAZOLI'S PENNE MARINARA WITH GRILLED PEPPERY CHICKEN

8 oz penne pasta, cooked, drained, hot
4 oz Fazoli’s marinara sauce, hot
2 1/2 oz sliced grilled peppery chicken
1 pinch chopped parsley
1 breadstick, hot

Combine ingredients, serve and enjoy.




Fazoli's Baked Garlic Chicken & Mozzarella With Pasta
8-12 servings 1 13x9 pan 1 hour 30 min prep

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 cup biscuit mix
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 boneless chicken breast halves
1 quart home-made tomato sauce
1 (28 ounce) can spaghetti sauce
3-5 garlic cloves, minced (or pressed)
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
12 ounces linguine, cooked & drained (or fettuccini)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (set aside for later)

Preheat frying pan to medium high; preheat oven to 350. Grease 13x9 pan with 1 T. of the olive oil.
In a medium bowl, combine biscuit mix, Parmesan, basil, oregano, garlic and pepper.
Pull "tenders" from breast halves. Dredge all pieces in the biscuit mixture; pressing it on as necessary.
Add remaining oil to hot frying pan, and brown the chicken pieces, turning to brown all sides. Remove pan from heat.
While meat is browning, mix tomato and spaghetti sauces; add garlic & more herbs if you wish. (I'm very heavy-handed with the basil & oregano.).
Spread a layer of cooked pasta over the bottom (about 1/3 of total pasta) of the 13x9 pan. Sprinkle with 1/4 of the Mozzarella cheese. Spread about a cup of the sauce over this. Repeat twice. (You should have about a cup of cheese left.)
Lay the chicken pieces over the last layer of pasta-cheese-sauce. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the meat, sprinkle on the remaining Mozzarella.
Pop in the oven for 30 minutes; then sprinkle on reserved Parmesan cheese, bake for 10 more minutes.
SERVE: A small green salad and a few slices of crisp apple or orange or a handful of grapes are delicious accompaniments.

PLANNED OVERS #1: Whatever meat is left, cut into bite-size pieces, mix thoroughly into remaining pasta, cheese and sauce. At the next meal, you may need to add a few drops of water or sauce to juice it up, but reheated--this works beautifully.
PLANNED OVERS #2: If no meat is left-over, spread pasta in the bottom of a greased casserole, lay some pepperoni slices over the top, sprinkle with a bit of Cheddar cheese, and bake until bubbly. Sounds like SUPPER!
SUBSTITUTIONS: Add some chili powder to the sauce (try some salsa in there), minced (dried) onions, lots of black olives, and you have a Taco-y flavored dish instead!



FAZOLI'S BAKED SPAGHETTI

1 (16 oz.) package spaghetti
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 ( 24 oz.) jar meatless spaghetti sauce
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
5 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups (16 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese

Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce and seasoned salt; set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, Parmesan cheese and butter. Drain spaghetti; add to egg mixture and toss to coat. Place half of the spaghetti mixture in a greased 3 quart, baking dish. Top with half of the meat sauce and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Uncover; bake 20-25 minutes longer or until cheese is melted




Fazoli's Breadsticks

2 tsp dry yeast
1 tsp malt extract
3 1/2 cups unbleached flour, sifted
2 tsp salt
3 Tbsp olive oil
egg glaze, made with 1 egg yolk and 1 Tbsp water



Sprinkle the yeast into 1/2 cup of the water in a bowl. Leave for 5 minutes, then add the malt extract; stir to dissolve.

Mix the flour and the salt in a large bowl,. Make a well in the center and pour in the dissolved yeast and the olive oil.

Use a wooden spoon to draw in the flour from the sides. Stir in the remaining water, as needed, to form a firm, sticky dough.

Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Cover with a dish towel and let rest for 10 minutes. Knead the dough for 10 minutes more.

Shape the dough into a rectangle, 12in x 8in and 3/4in thick. Cover with a dish towel; let rest for 10 minutes.

Lightly oil two baking sheets.

Cut the dough lengthwise into four equal pieces, then cut each piece lengthwise into ten strips. Stretch each strip until it is 10in long. Place the strips, about 1/2in apart, on the baking sheets.

Brush the strips with the egg glaze. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Transfer the sticks onto a wire rack, then let cool.
Makes 6 to 8
