Regina's Flour Shoppe

Mealy pie crusts are best used as the bottom crust for fruit pies and custard pies.

Before you begin, always wash your hands. First we begin by blending with the wooden spoon, in one of the large bowls the brown sugar and the one-cup white sugar. Soften the margarine or butter in the microwavable bowl in the microwave for fifteen seconds. After you add the margarine to the sugar, mix them together. Add the peanut butter to the batter then mix again. In the small cup crack each egg separately, and add the yolk part to the batter and stir. Set the mixture aside for the time being. In the other large bowl measure out and sift the flour, baking soda, and salt. Once sifted together, carefully add to the sugar and butter mixture. Blend together carefully. It may take a little elbow grease. Once completely blended, add the vanilla and stir till it is mixed on. The hard part is now over. Make sure that there are no lumps of sugar, pieces of eggshell, and clumps of baking soda. Nobody wants to bite into those! From the batter, scoop out a teaspoon size amount out and roll in your hands until it looks like a sphere. Roll it again, but this time, roll it around in 1/2 cup of white sugar until completely coated. Once achieved, place on the baking sheet. Continue this process of shaping the cookie until twelve and been formed and are two inches apart from each other on the cookie sheet. Take the fork and gently press two fork prints on each cookie, one

First you need to prepare the dough. The dough is made from masa harina, fat, and liquid in this case water. To make it easier for a person such as myself I just go to the store and buy the dough already made. This gives me a job of just preparing the dough more with a bit of water. After you could mix the dough with your clean hands or any other object that mixes.

3. Flour your countertop well with the remaining ¼ cup flour and coat your hands, too. 4. Shape the dough into a cylinder and cut into 4 pieces. 5.

Pour over saltines immediately. Try to pour some on the cracker but it's okay if each one is not covered completely.

As well as the salsa, all the ingredients need to be out and ready for use. Three cups of flour, one teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of baking powder, one third of a cup of vegetable oil and one cup of warm water. Getting the water will come when needed to prevent from becoming cold. First mix flour, salt and baking powder in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix dry ingredients until well combined. Add oil and water with mixer running at a medium speed. Mix for about one minute, stopping several times to scrape the sides of the bowl. When mixture comes together and begins to form a ball, decrease the mixing speed to low. Continue to mix for another minute or until the dough is smooth. Transfer the dough from mixing bowl to a well-floured work surface. Cut dough in half, then in half again. Continue until you have sixteen fairly equal portions. Form each piece of dough into a ball and flatten with the palm of your hand as much as possible. If dough is too sticky, use a little more flour. Cover flattened balls of dough with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rest for fifteen minutes before continuing. After the rest period, heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Roll each dough piece into a rough circle, about six to seven inches in across, keep work surface and rolling pin lightly floured. Do not stack uncooked tortillas on top of each other or they will become soggy. When the pan has become very hot, place one dough circle into the pan and allow to cook about for about one minute or until the bottom surface has a few pale brown spots. The uncooked surface will begin to show a few little bubbles. If the tortilla is browning too fast, turn down the heat just a bit, if it is taking longer than a minute to see a few pale golden brown spots on underside of tortillas, increase the heat a bit. Flip to other side and cook for about thirty seconds. The tortillas are to be soft, with a few small pale golden brown spots on the

This will help secure the ham and cheese in the roll. Place the top pieces of the Hawaiian rolls on a plate to the side, and you can now place the bottom halves of the rolls in the pan and push them close together. By doing this you will keep the top and bottom pieces of the roll from getting mixed up and you will fit every bottom half of the rolls in the pan. Once all of the bottom pieces are in the pan take out twelve pieces of the ham and place them on a plate and cut them in half. Next, fold each piece of ham and place them one by one on each piece of the Hawaiian halves. This helps you to know that each roll will have ham; it also makes applying the top halves of the rolls more simple. After this get twelve pieces of Sargento Colby Jack cheese and cut them in half. This is the best cheese to use because it has an extravagant taste and a smooth texture. After the pieces are cut in half place each piece on top of each piece of ham, then place the top halves of the Hawaiian rolls over the cheese. Once you have completed all of these steps you are now ready to begin making the

This pizza is a different experience than thin crust. First the dough is placed in a cast iron pan that has

Mix all the ingredients together. You can either eat it at once or microwave it to the desired warm (about 30 second to 1 minute), or you can transfer to a refrigerator bowl with a lid and put it in the refrigerator for next day for breakfast. I usually do it a day early to have the next day for breakfast (cold or hot it all depend what I am in the mood for) or sometime I'll eat some of the mixture as a snack.

In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl cream together butter and brown sugar.

Roll out the dough into 2-inch-diameter logs. As this dough will be sticky, it is recommended to roll it in wax paper. Shape the logs and refrigerate dough overnight so that it can be baked the next day.

Cut out a piece of the rolled out dough big enough to line a pie tin. I like the kind with holes in the bottom. Then put in your dried apples that have soaked all night and been sweetened, or your apricots, or your blueberries, and then take another sheet of the dough and drape it gracefully over the top, soldering it down at the edges with your fingers. Cut a couple of slits in the top dough sheet and prick it a few times with a fork in an artistic manner.

The first step of the whole process was finding a recipe that would be able to be done in class on our early release schedule. Kaitlin and I were not having the best of luck finding a recipe because most of them wanted us to wait for the dough to rise, which takes a good chunk of time. Kaitlin may have not been the best person to pick for this project because since we are close friends, we can get distracted easily. From what I remember, it was taking too much

Cover with a cling wrap and chill for an hour or overnight to allow the mixture to firm up.

Using the tip of a small knife, cut 3 small Xs along the top of each pastry. Pipe the pastry cream into the shells through each opening.
