I need to get a recipe organizer. I've been coming up and coming across some great stuff lately and I want to be able to organize everything in a hard copy so it's not just stuck online. Because sometimes I can't get to everything online. So I want a recipe journal.
Here's a couple of my favorite things...
Simple Vanilla Cupcakes
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 large egg whites
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake tin with paper cup liners.
Cream together sugar and butter. Beat in egg whites one at a time. Stir in vanilla.
Combine flour and baking powder in separate bowl. Add gradually to creamed mixture. Remember to scrape sides of bowl to incorporate all ingredients properly.
Stir in milk until batter is smooth.
Pour into paper cup liners. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Makes 12 cupcakes.
Baked Buffalo Wings
1 1/2 pounds chicken wings or wingettes
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne red pepper
1/2 cup cayenne pepper sauce
Preheat over to 350 degrees. Grease pie plate by spraying with cooking spray or oil. Set aside.
Mix together salt, black pepper, cumin, cilantro, and red pepper until well blended.
Lay out chicken wings on large cutting board. Rub the thawed wings with the seasoning mixture until all sides of the chicken are covered and spice is used. For a lighter taste, use less seasoning.
Layer wings in two rounds of the pie plate, filling in gaps with the second level of the layers.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from over and turn wings. Try to place wings that were on the upper level on the lower level and vice versa. Bake another 15 minutes.
Check wings to see if they are cooked completely through. Bake another 15 minutes if needed. Cooking times may depend on thickness of chicken meat.
Let chicken cool for a few moments. Pour cayenne pepper sauce in a bowl, preferably with higher sides for easier coating. Using tongs, place wings in red pepper sauce individually and coat generously.
Plate with celery sticks and ranch dressing. Serves 3-4.
