It's that time a year again, time to display your alcoholism as proudly as the shamrock on your lapel, time to imbibe green libations, and inflict flesh wounds upon the non-conformist Mc Scroodges. That's right, it's St. Patricks day! A celebration of all things green, corned, and some dude from Wales, no not Kathrine Zeta Jones. This episode I'm going to teach you how to throw the most Irishtastic St. Patty's day party ever! Erin go bragh!
Green Fortune Cookies
2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1.2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons water
1 teaspoon green food coloring
Preparation:
1. Write fortunes on pieces of paper that are 3 1/2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Here's a website with some ideas http://www.innocentenglish.com/funny-english-mistakes-bloopers/funny-fortune-.... Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease 2 9-X-13 inch baking sheets.
2. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the egg white, vanilla extract, almond extract and vegetable oil until frothy, but not stiff.
3. Sift the flour, cornstarch, salt and sugar into a separate bowl. Stir the water into the flour mixture.
4. Add the flour into the egg white mixture and stir until you have a smooth batter. The batter should not be runny, but should drop easily off a wooden spoon.
5. Place level tablespoons of batter onto the cookie sheet, spacing them at least 3 inches apart. Smooth with spoon until discs are approx 3 inches in diameter.
6. Bake until the outer 1/2-inch of each cookie turns golden brown and they are easy to remove from the baking sheet with a spatula (14 - 15 minutes).
7. Working quickly, remove the cookie with a spatula and flip it over in your hand. Place a fortune in the middle of a cookie. To form the fortune cookie shape, fold the cookie in half, then gently pull the edges downward over the rim of a glass, wooden spoon or the edge of a muffin tin. Place the finished cookie in the cup of the muffin tin so that it keeps its shape. Continue with the rest of the cookies.
Irish Cream Crème Brulee
I hate to waste stuff so this is a recipe for the 2 leftover egg yolks. I divided the original recipe by 3. So if you want to feed more than two people either divide the portions into tiny ramekins or multiply the recipe by 3 to serve six 4 to serve 8 and so on and so forth. But then what do you do with the leftover egg whites?
Here's a good recipe:
