Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Vanillas Kifli


cookies, holiday, hungarian

3/4 cup butter; unsalted, at room tempera
1/2 cup sugar, granulated
2 each egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cup flour, all purpose
1/2 cup vanilla sugar; *
2 oz chocolate, semi sweet; 60 g

*Vanilla sugar is available in the baking section of most supermarkets, in bulk food stores and baking supply stores. 1. Beat butter with sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat in yolks and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour. Turn out onto counter and knead as you would bread until well combined. Form into a ball, cover with a bowl and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours. 2. Preheat oven to 375F. To form the crescents, roll about 1 Tbsp of the dough in the palms of your hands. Then continue rolling to form a rope about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. Bend rope to form crescent. Repeat with remaining dough, placing on ungreased cookie sheets about 1 inch apart. Bake on centre sheet of preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes. Cookies should be white in colour. To prevent breaking, cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes. Then, while cookies are still warm, carefully roll in vanilla sugar. Repeat with remaining cookies. Cool cookies completely. 3. Meanwhile, melt chocolate in a double boiler set over simmering water. When cookies are cool, dip tips of each cookie in melted chocolate, then set on waxed paper to dry.
