back in action & GeminiDragon -cooking Guru

[Guest guest]

HI, I am back after getting settled into my new apt.

 

I tried to cook some brown rice with frozen veggies. It was SO GROSS! YUCK!

 

Anyway, Geminidragon--- you are just the guru of receipes. I have copied a few

into a veggie folder on my computer. Although I have not tried them yet, they

look/ sound delicious! As soon as my housewarming party is over (and hopefully

when I've gotten the remaining kitchen stuff I need) I'll be whipping up a few

batches of these muffin tops and lasagna wraps!

 

Thanks for all the goodies to prepare!

This recipe makes 9 tops and you only need a cookie sheet. I was given a muffin

top pan but it's not necessary. They are wonderful, just like the best part of

the muffin, the top.

 

" Muffin Tops "

1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. poppy seeds or 1 tsp. ground cardamom

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

2 tsp. grated lemon peel

3 Tblsp. vegetable shortening

1/3 cup milk

1 tsp. lemon juice

 

Topping

~~~~~~

2 tsp. sugar & dash of cinnamon

 

Heat oven to 400 degrees. In medium bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar baking

powder, poppy seed or cardamom, salt, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon and lemon peel, mix

well. With a pastry blender or fork, cut in shortening until mixture is

crumbly.
