Fiddle Faddle

3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 bags plain or natural-flavored microwave popcorn
1/2 cup roasted almonds

1. Combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, water and salt in a large saucepan
over medium heat. You’re going to bring the candy to 265-275 degrees,
or what is known as the hard ball stage. For this it’s best to use a
candy thermometer. If you don’t have one, don’t worry. Drip the candy
into a small glass of cold water. If the candy forms a very hard, yet
slightly pliable ball, bingo, you’re there. Watch your mixture closely
so that it doesn’t boil over.

2. While candy cooks, pop both bags of popcorn and spread about 2 quarts
or 1 1/3 bags of popcorn on one large or two small cookie sheets.
Put the popcorn in your oven set on its lowest temperature. This will
keep the popcorn hot so that the candy will coat better.

3. When your candy has reached the hard ball stage, add the vanilla.

4. Pull the popcorn from the oven and, working quickly, pour the candy
over the popcorn in thin streams. Mix the popcorn so that each kernel
is coated with candy, put the popcorn back into the oven for five more
minutes, then stir once again. This will help to coat each kernel.
You can repeat this step once more if necessary to get all of the
popcorn coated. Pour popcorn onto a large sheet of wax paper to cool.
Spread the popcorn out, but be careful…it’s hot.

5. When popcorn is cool, break it up and immediately put it into a
tightly sealed container, such as Tupperware. This will ensure that
it stays fresh. This stuff gets stale very quickly in moist climates
if left out.

Makes about 4 quarts.

Hooter’s Buffalo Chicken Wings

vegetable oil — for frying
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup Crystal Louisiana Hot Sauce
dash ground pepper
dash garlic powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teas. paprika
1/4 teas. cayenne pepper
1/4 teas. salt
10 chicken wing pieces

ON THE SIDE: bleu cheese dressing & celery sticks

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375. You want just enough oil to cover the
wings entirely — an inch or so deep at least.

Combine the butter, hot sauce, ground pepper, and garlic powder in a
small saucepan over low heat. Heat until the butter is melted and
the ingredients are well-blended.

Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne powder, and salt in a small bowl.
If the wings are frozen, be sure to defrost and dry them. Put the wings
in a large bowl and sprinkle the flour mixture over them, coating each
wing evenly. Put the wings in the refrigerator 60-90 minutes.
This will help the breading to stick to the wings when fried.

Put all the wings in the hot oil and fry 10 to 15 minutes or until
some parts of the wings begin to turn dark brown. Remove from the oil
to a paper towel to drain. Don’t let them sit too long, because you
want to serve them hot. Quickly put the wings in a large bowl. Add the hot
sauce and stir, coating all of the wings evenly.

Serve with bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side.

Hostess Cupcakes

CAKES:
1/2 c Plus 2 tbsp Flour
2 1/2 tb Cocoa powder
3/4 ts Baking soda
1/4 ts Salt
1/2 c Sugar
1/2 c Water
3 tb Vegetable oil
1 1/2 ts Distilled white vinegar
1 ts Vanilla extract

FILLING:
1 c Heavy whipping cream
6 oz Finely chopped white chocolate

GLAZE:
3 oz Finely chopped bittersweet chocolate
3 tb Boiling water

ICING:
1 tb Egg white, at room temperature
1 pt cream of tartar
1/2 c Plus 2 to 3 tbsp confectioner’s sugar

Make the cupcakes:

1. Position a rack in the center and preheat oven to 325F. Lightly
butter twenty-four 1-3/4? x 3/4? (1-oz) muffin of biscuit cups.

2. Into a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda,
and salt. Mix in the sugar. Make a well in the center. Whisk in the
water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Blend until smooth. (The batter
will be very thin.)

3. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups. Bake until a cake tester
inserted into the center of one of the cupcakes comes out clean,
about 12 to 14 minutes. Cool the cupcakes in the pans on a wire rack
for 5 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the pans and finish cooling
on the rack.

Make the filling:

4. In a heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the cream
to a boil. Add the white chocolate and remove from heat. let the
mixture stand briefly; stir until smooth. Transfer to a metal bowl
and refrigerate until chilled thoroughly, stirring occasionally. (To
speed the process, set the metal bowl over a larger bowl of ice
water; stir the chocolate mixture until cool.) With an electric
mixer, beat the white chocolate mixture just until fluffy, about 1
minute.

5. Transfer the filling to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/8-inch plain
tip. Insert the pastry tip 1/4-inch into the bottom of each cupcake
and squeeze a little filling into each one.

Make the glaze:

6. Place the chocolate in a small bowl. Whisk in the boiling water and
blend until smooth. One at a time, dip the top of each cupcake into
the warm glaze. Turn the glazed cupcakes right side up and set them
on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet. Refrigerate the cupcakes for
5 minutes to set the glaze.

Make the icing:

7. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy. Stir in the
cream of tartar. Gradually mix in enough of the confectioner’s sugar
to make a fairly stiff and smooth icing. Fill a small paper cone with
the icing and cut a 1/16-inch opening at the tip. Remove the cupcakes
from the refrigerator. Pipe a design (a squiggle, spiral, etc.) on
the top of each cupcake. Let the design harden and then cover and
refrigerate the cupcakes. Serve at room temperature.

The cupcakes can be made and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance, or
frozen up to 2 weeks.

Makes 22 to 24 miniature cupcakes.

For the filling, cream the butter and shortening. Slowly add the sugars
while beating. Add the evaporated milk, vanilla and lemon extracts. Mix on
medium speed until completely smooth and fluffy. When the cakes are done
and cooled, use a toothpick to make three small holes in the bottom of

2 Tablespoons Chili powder
1/4 Cup Ortega Taco Sauce — Mild
12 Each Soft corn tortillas
3 Cups Cooking oil
6 Slices American cheese (each cut in half)

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

any special type. Just regular biscuits.

Poke a hole in the center of each.

Deep fry until brown (or fry in skillet)
turning doughnuts once. Do not crowd.

Drain well on paper towels.

granulated sugar with cinnamon to taste),
or glaze them (regular or chocolate).
