Lightly butter a bowl and place the dough in it turning once to coat the dough.  Cover with a damp cloth and set in a warm place to rise until double in bulk.  Approximately 1 hour.

 

Punch down dough and divide in half.  Let rest for 10 minutes.

 

Generously grease a baking sheet while waiting for the dough.

 

Roll out each half the dough into a 12 inch circle on a lightly floured surface IF you are using it in the traditional crescent roll shape.  If you are using it for other recipes roll out into the desired shape.  Brush the dough with melted butter.

 

If doing crescent rolls cut the 12 inch circle into 16 wedges. Roll each edge up from the wide end, bend into a crescent shape and place point side down on baking sheets.

Jalapeno Hush Puppies Original and Jan's Version

Recipe By     :Tastyklitchen.com for the original recipe

Serving Size  : 12    Preparation Time :0:10

Categories    : Breads

 

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method

--------  ------------  --------------------------------

  4               cups  flour

  1                cup  cornmeal

  1 1/2    tablespoons  baking powder

     1/2      teaspoon  baking soda

     3/4           cup  sugar

     1/4           cup  onion powder

     3/4      teaspoon  Cajun seasoning

  3               cups  whole milk

  3              whole  eggs

     1/4           cup  vinegar

  1 1/2           cups  pickled jalapenos -- diced

  2             quarts  oil -- for frying

 

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

 

Mix remaining ingredients in another bowl well.

 

Put the wet ingredients in the dry ingredients all at once.  Stir until just blended.

 

Heat the oil to 375.

 

Drop batter into to hot oil by the spoonfiuls.

 

Cook 4-5 minutes until golden brown.  Drain on paper towels.  Salt if desired.

 

MY ADAPTATION OF THE RECIPE:

 

For the three of us I cut the recipe in 1/2--for using just for hush puppies I should have cut it down to 1/4.

 

I cut the amount of onion powder and jalapeno in 1/2 again.  So basically a 1/4 amount for those two ingredients.  

 

I used my homemade Cajun Seasoning recipe for that spice.

 

 

 

VARIATIONS:

 

This recipe is not as cornmeal tasting as most hush puppies if you desire that increase the amount of cornmeal to taste and slightly ingrease the baking powder and baking soda.

 

Leftover batter can be used as "breading" for other foods.  My original batch was used the next night to batter fry homemade chicken nuggets. It could be used with any number of ingredients.

 

Leave out the jalapenos and Cajun seasoning and use this batter for a fry bread/sopapilla recipe. 

 

Leave out the jalepenos and Cajun seasoning.  Fry per recipe then roll in cinnamon sugar for a "fried donut" type dessert.

Cinnamon Pull-a-Part Rolls

Categories    : Breads        Breakfast Foods

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation

--------  ------------  -------------------------

  1        whole  recipe Pan Rolls -- FROZEN IN BALLS, DO NOT THAW

                  Cinnamon Sugar -- to taste

1/2         cup   butter -- melted

1           cup   chopped nuts -- optional 

Make the Pan Rolls per the recipe up to preparing for the second rise.  Instead of placing them in a pan place the balls on a cookie sheet and freeze immediately.   

Once frozen bag, label and return to freezer for future use for this recipe. 

In the bottom of either a 9 x 13 pan or a bundt pan place about 1/2 of the chopped nuts along with some cinnamon sugar and melted butter.  The amount is entirely up to you.  It just depends how much "goo" you want when the rolls are finished. 

Roll each ball in melted butter then in the cinnamon sugar and place in the baking pan with some space to allow for rising space. 

If you are using the bundt pan then you might want to add a little extra butter, cinnamon and chopped nuts to each layer. 

If you are using the 9 x 13 pan then dot the top with additional butter once all the balls are in the pan.  Sprinkle with additional cinnamon sugar and nuts.  

Set under a damp towel at room temperature to thaw and rise overnight. 

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. 

Bake the rolls for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown.
