Apple Roses Bake Recipe



Apple Roses Bake Recipe

Well, it was raining for about three days straight and I really needed something to change my mood from being stuck indoors. After checking the food storage area, I found that I still had a lot of apples from my garden. 

So off to the kitchen to make these awesome aromatic Apple Roses. The problem I had was to make about a dozen or so, but as they came out of the oven  filling the air with baked apple and   cinnamon, they did not even make it to a plate. They disappeared as fast as I could make them.

I hope you will try this recipe and let me know how it turned out and did you add anything different to it.



*************************************************************************************************************



Recipe; 

2 to 3 - Apples
1 to 2 Pkg. - Pre-ready pastry dough (makes 6 to 8 pieces each)
1 to 1 1/2 Ltrs or 3 to 4 pints of water
1/2 - Juice of a lemon

Cinnamon as needed
Powdered sugar as needed

Makes about 12 to 18 Apple Roses

By using apples that have more red in it, it gives off a nicer color like a rose.  Here I use a combination of different colors just to have more variety to show on the video. 







If  you do not like to use the microwave oven for this stage then you can boil the water with the lemon and apples for about 3 minutes. Either way it will work out.







On the video, I am using homemade raspberry jam that was from my garden. Now go ahead and add really any type of jam that you would like. 






If you would like a lighter pastry, then you can roll the dough a little, but I find that I like it the way it was made.

By making the roses a little smaller, then you could get about 4 section from each side by slicing 3 horizontal and 1 vertical. This will give you 8 sections. 





Please do not overfill the sections with jam and apples, for it will make it harder for you to roll it and the jam will boil off everywhere and make a mess. 






You can find that as you start to roll the rose, the apples will try to move out of position. Keep one of your fingers on the top of the apple slices as you roll and that will keep them in place. 

Remember "pratice makes perfect". 






Use a teflon baking dish or make sure that you pre-treat it before you bake it so the roses will just slide off.

Blueberry Pancakes Recipe



Blueberry Pancakes Recipe


I have to say that "I just love Pancakes" and for me I add many different toppings from almost every fruit, berries and even chocolate syrup. 

After making  many of them, I found out that I can really make a huge batch in a matter of minutes, mind you that would use two pans with about 3 pancakes in each.So do not be afraid to try this recipe for it is really that easy, you can not go wrong. 

My guests and family that have  a sleepover in my home, just love to wake up to a huge plate of these awesome pancakes. The only problem I have, is keeping up to their appetite. After all, they want to try it in many different ways, for I make sure there are enough batter and toppings. Always a  the best way to start the morning.    

Let us know how your pancakes turned out and what other topping did you try.


**********************************************************************************************************


Recipe:

1 1/2 Cups - All purpose flour
1/2 Cup - Milk, plus more as needed
1 Tsp. - White or brown sugar
1 Tsp. - Baking powder
1 Tbsp. - Cooking oil or butter
1 Tsp. - Salt
1 - Egg

Makes   2 Pancake servings.

Topping
3/4 Cups - Blueberries


For more information, please see video below.




**********************************************************************************************************



In the video, I am using all-purpose flour, but if you want you can use a 50/50 of whole  and regular flour. 

Also,  try it with about 25% buckwheat or even instant oatmeal. Anyway, you make it, it will be awesome. 



After adding the 1/2 cup of milk, keep adding more milk a little at a time. In this way, you will always have control of the thickness of the pancake. 

Keep stirring and adding milk until the batter sticks to your whisk but flows down slowly in a steady stream and  off your whisk. Remember  not over stir the batter, stop when it reaches the above point.  


Use a Teflon pan and make your life a lot easier, Now you do not have to add any oil to this type of pan and it will work well, but after awhile they just do not do the job as good as when it was new. So I find by using a little oil, it helps it along, cook more evenly and the pancakes look better



I make  my pancakes a little bit on the smaller side because I like them to be piled up high, for me it just looks better. Now really the size depend on your preference that suits you. Larger or smaller will not change the taste, only the appearance.





When you see the bubbles coming to the surface of the batter, then you know that it is time to flip it over. Now, if you are not sure of the timing of your pancake, then when you see the above, just it it a pick under it one or two time. After a few, you get then hang of it and become an expert. 







Remember, do not push the pancake down and try to flatten it, for it will make them chewy and hard.
