I was someone who liked to cook until I became a mother. That still hasn't changed. It has just changed what I cook more often than I'd like to.
Cloudlight Refrigerator Rolls
2 pkg. Yeast 1/2 cup warm water 1 tsp Sugar
Dissolve and set aside.
1/2 cup Margarine or Butter 1 Cup Warm Water
Melt butter in water over med. heat.
Add 1/2 Cup Sugar after butter melted.
3 Eggs add 1 tsp Salt - Beat with beater.
Add butter and egg mixture together in mixer. Then add yeast mixture. Add 2 cups of Flour and beat with mixer. 1 cup more if mixer can handle it. Beat well. Then add remaining Flour - Totaling 4 1/2 cups to 5 1/2 cups. Cover and let rise until double in bulk (about 1 hour) *** I punch it down several times because it will grow all over EVERYTHING if you let it - it will take OVER the FRIDGE TOO!!!
Punch down - cover tightly and put into fridge for several hours or overnight.
(Because dough is very soft) ***AGAIN punch Down!!!
2 Hours before serving - divide into 3 parts and roll into 10" circle to make crescent rolls (I haven't made them into crescent rolls before - just regular round.) I roll to 1/2 or 3/4 inch thick and cut with glass. Put onto greased cookie sheet - about 1" apart. Cover lightly until double (about 2 hours) and cook at 400 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes or until golden brown.
***I asked my Aunt Pat for this recipe. She made these rolls for every Thanksgiving get together we had growing up. They are the best rolls I have ever had!!!
Buttermilk Fried Chicken
1 quart buttermilk
1 Tsp. salt
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp. onion powder
1 tsp. black pepper
1 Tbs. thyme
1 Tbs. oregano
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. bread crumbs
2 egg
4-6 thick boneless chicken breasts
(spices in same amounts listed above will be used twice)
Soak chicken breasts in buttermilk with, salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, onion powder, black pepper, thyme, and oregano and place in refrigerator several hours before cooking, or soak in refrigerator night before.
Dip chicken into mixture of 2 beaten eggs, then flour mixture that has another round of salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, onion powder, black pepper, thyme, and oregano spices mixed added to flour and bread crumbs.
Place chicken in already heated frying pan with hot oil approx ½ inch deep. Brown on each side, approx 7 ½ min. Cover tightly & cook on simmer for an additional 20 to 25 min. Remove lid for last 10 min.
**For a healthier version you can bake chicken in oven at 400 degrees. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a baking rack on top. Liberally spray the rack with nonstick baking spray.
Working one breast at a time, remove chicken from the marinade and dredge in crumb mixture. Place on rack. Bake until deep golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the breast registers 160 degrees, about 25 minutes
