piparkoogi taigen nami-namist

Koostis:
2 dl e. 250 g siirupit
2 dl e. 170 g suhkrut
1 sl jahvatatud kaneeli
2 tl jahvatatud nelki
1 sl jahvatatud kardemoni
1 tl ingveripulbrit
VÕI siis kuni pakk piparkoogimaitseainet *
250 g võid
2 muna
10 kuni 11 dl e. 600 g nisujahu
2 tl (triikis) söögisoodat

Valmistamine:
Kuumuta potis siirup koos suhkru ja jahvatatud maitseainetega* keemiseni.
Tõsta pott tulelt ning sega juurde tükeldatud või. Sega, kuni või on sulanud, siis lase veidi jahtuda.
Lisa kloppides ükshaaval munad.
Sega söögisooda jahuga ja lisa vähehaaval siirupi-võisegule.
Sõtku tainas hoolega läbi ja paki kilesse. Hoia vähemalt järgmise päevani külmikus**.
Rulli tainas jahusel laual hästi õhukeseks ja lõika vormidega soovitud kujundid. Tõsta ahjuplaadile.
Küpseta 200kraadise ahju keskosas 6-9 minutit.
Soovi korral kaunista jahtunud piparkoogid glasuuriga.

Kasutasin DanSukkeri heledat siirupit ja minu arust on igati jumekad ja karamellised piparkoogid. Kui soovid tumedamaid ja jõulisemaid piparkooke, siis vali DanSukkeri tume siirup. Jahu on Sunnuntai oma ning munad suured Kikerikii omad.

* Mina olen kasutanud nii Santa Maria piparkoogimaitseainet (30grammine pakk sisaldab kaneeli, nelki, musta pipart, vürtsi, ingverit, kardemoni ja muskaatpähklit) kui ka Meira piparkoogimaitseainet (24grammine pakk; maitselt mahedam, sisaldab pomerantsikoort, nelki, kaneeli ja ingverit). Viimasel ajal eelistan Meira oma, ent siis lisan tainale 1-2 tl jahvatatud kardemoni.

** Piparkoogitaina võid kuni paar nädalat varem valmis teha ja külmkapis säilitada. Samuti võib piparkoogitainast edukalt sügavkülmutada.

Ohio Buckeyes

This recipe tops them all. It's so fattening that we only make it around Christmas time, and many of our friends and relatives enjoy receiving buckeyes as Christmas gifts. Some of our friends have offered to buy it off of us! For packaging, we often collect cookie tins all year to put them in. This year was not the best year for tin collecting (couldn't hit as many yard sales this year!), so I am spray painting baskets to give them in, and also using some colored plastic wrap tied with ribbon. You could also go the super easy route and just put them on paper plates and wrap with colored or clear plastic wrap.

1 16-18 oz jar creamy peanut butter
4 cups powdered sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) soft butter or margarine (leave at room temperature for an hour or two to soften)
1 12 oz bag chocolate chips (we use Aldi's - 79 cents a bag)
1/2 cake paraffin wax (found in canning section, yes, it's safe for eating)

Combine peanut butter, sugar and softened butter/margarine in very large bowl. Mix well, and roll into small balls about 1 inch in diameter. If balls are soft after shaping, refrigerate until hardened a bit.

Melt chocolate and paraffin together in double boiler or in small, deep bowl in the microwave, being careful not to overcook and burn the chocolate. Use a toothpick or bamboo skewer to dip peanut butter balls in melted chocolate, leaving very top of balls without chocolate to look like a real buckeye. Set buckeyes on cookie sheets lined with waxed paper. Let cool, then remove and place in cookie tins (lined with plastic wrap).

These can be done ahead of time, and store well in the freezer or refrigerator. They are also pretty cheap to make if you use generic or store brand ingredients. Chocolate chips that taste more like dark chocolate (such as Aldi's brand, comparable to Nestle Toll House Morsels), do much better than the milk chocolate chips such as Hershey's.

Dipped Cookies

Super duper easy! Get the generic versions of Oreos and Nutter Butters for this recipe.

1 package white or chocolate Almond Bark
1 package generic Oreos, Nutter Butters, or other cookies (can be homemade sugars, chocolate chip, whatever)
sprinkles
waxed paper

Melt almond bark carefully in microwave. When hot, carefully dip cookies, one at a time, into almond bark, covering half of cookie. Place on waxed paper and shake on sprinkles. Repeat for all cookies. My recommended combinations include white almond bark with Oreos, chocolate almond bark with Nutter Butters.

Peppermint Crunch

1 package candy canes or peppermints
1 package white almond bark
1 hammer
resealable baggies
Waxed paper

Unwrap peppermints of candy canes and place in resealable baggy. Seal. Get out some pent-up aggression by pounding the candy to smithereens. Little chunks of candy should remain.

Melt almond bark carefully in microwave. Mix in crushed peppermints. Pour into pans or cookie sheets lined with waxed paper. Let cool (best in refrigerator or freezer). When cool, remove from waxed paper, break into bite-sized chunks and store in cookie tins.

No-Cook Peanut Butter Fudge

3/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup light Karo syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract or maple syrup
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup chopped peanuts

In a large bowl, beat together the first 6 ingredients. Knead mixture on a wooden cutting board until smooth. Work peanuts into fudge. Pat candy into 8" square pan. Chill.

Snowballs

A bit delicate- they tend to break if shipped. This is a good gift to hand deliver, and perfect all wintertime! The kids love to help make these.

1 cup walnuts
1 cup margarine or butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioner's (powdered) sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
confectioners sugar to cover

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Finely chop the walnuts in a blender or food processor, set aside. Cream together the margarine and ½ cup confectioner's sugar. Add the vanilla extract or maple syrup. Stir in the flour, salt and chopped up nuts.

Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place them an inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees until set but not browned- about 10 minutes. Roll cookies in confectioner's sugar while warm and then again when they've cooled. Makes about 4 dozen

moskva saiakeste kreem

Tee kodus väike katsetus selle kreemi valmistamiseks. Võta 1/2 klaasi piima, 3 tl jahu, 3 tl mannat, 1 muna, 3-5tl suhkrut ja 1 tl võid. Keeda sellest kreem (puder), millesse lisa jahtunult vanilliini.

õunakook

Õunakook delfi kokkafoorumist:
Põhjaks sobib muretaigen.
ise olen seda nii teinud:
200g margariini või võid
5spl. suhkrut
2 muna
1,5-2 tl. fazeri küpsetuspulbrit(fazeri omaga on kõige parem olnud)
jahu
vahustad või suhkruga ning lisad munad, segad uuesti hoolikalt läbi ning siis lisad jahu millesse oled seganud küpsetuspulbri.Jahu peab olema nii palju, et saaksid sellise puru taolise taigna. Vooderda küpsetus vorm küpsetuspaberiga ja suru tainas vormi ning natuke ka servadele.

Kate:
2-3 suurt õuna
100g mandlilaaste
250ml vahukoort
100g karuna pähklitega piimašokolaadi
piparkoogi maitseainet.

Kõigepealt puista natuke mandlilaaste koogi põhjale, järgmiseks pane kooritud ja väikesteks tükkideks lõigatud õunad, neile raputa peale vastavalt soovile suhkrut ning piparkoogi maitseainet.
šokolaade tükelda kaussi ja lisa pool vahukoorest ning sulata mikros, välja võttes sega korralikult ja lisa üle jäänud vahukoor. Saadud segu segada hoolikalt ühtlaseks ning siis valada see koogile. Ning kõigepeale raputa ülejäänud mandlilaastud.

Küpseta 200kraadi juures 20-30 minutit, või seni kuni mandlilaastud on helepruunid ning koogi servad sammuti.

Brita kook

meie pere üks lemmikkook, Werneri kohviku menüüst, http://toiduteemal.blogspot.com/2010/05/ornohuline-klassika-ehk-brita-kook.html siin siis ka sellest retsept, vaja proovida!
Retsepti leiab mitmelt poolt, mina olen kasutanud baasretseptina http://www.toidutare.ee/retsept.php?id=8527 varianti.
Brita koogi põhiretsept koosneb kahes osas valmistatavast tainast (mis laotatakse üksteise peale) ning tainakihtide vahele pandavast kreemist. Mina panen suhkrut veidi vähem ning põhja tegemise jaoks piisab täiesti ka ainult 3 munakollasest (see + 1 muna jääb minu retseptis panemata)
Taina alumise kihi jaoks on vaja:
3 munakollast
150 ml suhkrut
1 tl vaniljesuhkrut
1 tl küpsetuspulbrit
150 gr võid
100 ml piima
250 ml jahu
Vahusta munakollased suhkruga, lisa vahustatud munakollastele piim ja sulatatud (ning veidi maha jahutatud) või. Sega läbi. Lisa jahule küpsetuspulber ja vaniljesuhkur ning sega kuivained muna-piima-või segu sisse.
Laota tainas ühtasel kihina küpsetuspaberiga kaetud ahjuplaadi peale.
Beseekihi jaoks on vaja:
3 munavalget
150 ml suhkrut
0,5 tl soola
mandlilaaste
Vahusta munavalgeid koos soolaga kerge vahu tekkimiseni, lisa suhkur ja vahusta edasi kuni tiheda paksu vahu tekkimiseni.
Laota beseekiht eelnevalt ahjuplaadile laotatud tainakihi peale. Poolele plaaditäilele saputa peale ka mandlilaaste, sellest moodustub hiljem koogi ülemine kiht.
Küpseta 180 kraadi juures ca 15-20 minutit.
Võta ahjust ja lase veidi jahtuda.
Siis lõika plaadikook keskelt pooleks nii:


Valmista kreem, mille jaoks läheb vaja:
2 dl rabarberimoosi (ca 0,5 kg rabarbereid + vähemalt 2 dl suhkrut. magusasõbrad võivad ka rohkem panna, kuna rabarberi hapusus "sööb" magusa maitse ära) *
2 dl vahukoort
2 dl kohupiimakreemi vanilliga
0,5 tl jahvatatud ingverit (võid ka ära jätta)
Vahusta vahukoor, sega hulka kohupiim ja rabarberimoos ning ingver.
Määri rabarberikreem poolele ahjuplaaditäiele küpsetatud põhjale (ilma mandliteta poolele) ja tõsta teine pool koogipõhjast sinna peale nii:
Jäta veidikeseks kook tahenema, et kreem imenduks.
Mina pakkusin juurde maasika, mündi, vanillisuhkru, laimimahla ja tibakese vahtrasiirupiga tehtud salsat.

* kuna rabarberimoos kipub olema liialt vedel, mis muudab kogu vahekreemi liiga pehmeks, tuleks kasutada üht järgnevatest võimalustest:
- kurna rabarberimoosi enne vahukoore ja kohupiima sisse segamist umbes veerand tundi sõelal, et liigne vedelik eralduks
- keeda rabarberimoosi sisse keetmise lõpul 1 spl veega segatud tärklist, et moodustuks kissell ja sega siis kissell kohupiima-vahukoorega
- sega kreemi sisse ca 1,5 spl želatiini (eelnevalt väheses külmas vees paisutatud ja siis ettevaatlikult madalal kuumusel lahustatud). Viimasel juhul peaks kreem olema enne põhjale määrimist vähemalt tund aega külmkapis, et ta hakkaks veidi tahenema. Enne põhjale määrimist sega kreem hoolega läbi, et vältida tükkide tekkimist.
