Pioneer Womans Migas Food

SAN ANTONIO MIGAS

Steps:

• Cook the tortilla strips: Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts, add the tortilla strips and cook, stirring and tossing, until they are all golden and crispy.
• Cook the vegetables: When the tortillas are crisp, add the bell pepper, chiles and onion to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add the eggs to the pan, season with salt and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, stirring to scramble and combine, until most of the moisture is cooked out, then remove from the heat. Stir in the tomatoes. Serve topped with cheese.

SUNRISE MIMOSAS

Steps:

• For the fruit skewers: Arrange the pineapple, raspberries and tangerine segments on four 4 1/2-inch wooden skewers, alternating the fruit.
• For the mimosas: To rim the glasses, pour 2 tablespoons of the grenadine in a small bowl. Pour an even layer of sanding sugar onto a small, flat plate. Dip the rim of a 6-ounce champagne flute into the grenadine to create a thin film on the rim. Then immediately dip it into the sanding sugar and give it a quick twist to make sure the rim is evenly coated. Repeat with 3 more champagne flutes.
• To make the mimosas: Pour 1/4 cup of the pineapple-orange juice into each glass. Top with 3 ounces of champagne. Gently and slowly pour 2 tablespoons of grenadine into each glass. If you do this too quickly, you will lose the beautiful sunrise effect. Lay the fruit skewer across the top of each glass and serve.

PIONEER WOMAN CINNAMON ROLLS 101

Steps:

• Mix milk, vegetable oil, and sugar in a pan (large soup-pot type). "Scald" the mixture (heat until just before the boiling point.) Turn off heat and leave to cool 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• When the mixture is lukewarm to warm, but NOT hot, sprinkle in yeast. Let this sit for a minute so the yeast gets all warm and moist and happy. Then add 8 cups of all-purpose flour. Stir mixture together. Cover and let sit for at least an hour.
• Now add 1 more cup of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir mixture together. At this point, you could cover the dough and put it in the fridge until you need it-overnight or even a day or two, if necessary. Just keep your eye on it and if it starts to splurge out of the pan, just punch it down. Or, of course, you can just go ahead and make the rolls. Let's do that, shall we?.
• Sprinkle surface generously with flour. Take half the dough and form a rough rectangle. Then roll the dough thin, maintaining a general rectangular shape. Rectangle should increase in both width and length as you roll it out.
• Now drizzle melted butter over the dough. Don't be shy; lay it on thick, baby. You know you want it. Oh, by the way? This is not non-caloric. In case anyone asks. Sprinkle sugar over the butter, followed by a generous sprinkling of cinnamon.
• Starting at the opposite end, begin rolling the dough in a neat line toward you. Keep the roll relatively tight as you go. Some of the butter / sugar / cinnamon mixture may ooze out toward the end, but that's no big deal. Next, pinch the seam to the roll to seal it.
• Spread 1 tablespoon of melted butter in seven round, foil cake or pie pans. Then begin cutting rolls approximately 3/4 to 1 inch thick and laying them in the buttered pans. Repeat this process with the other half of the dough. This recipe makes approximately seven pans of rolls (56 rolls).
• Let the rolls sit for 20 to 30 minutes to rise, then bake at 400 degrees until light golden brown, about 15 to 18 minutes.
• GLAZE:.
• While the rolls are in the oven, make the deliciously sinful maple frosting. To a mixing bowl, add powdered sugar, maple flavoring, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, brewed coffee, and salt. Stir until mixture is thick but pourable. Taste and adjust as needed.
• Generously drizzle frosting over warm rolls after you pull them out of the oven. And take a walk on the wild side. Don't be afraid to drown them puppies. Be sure to get frosting around the perimeter of the pan, too, so the icing will coat the outside of the rolls.
