Cabbie’s Cooking

My wonderful cousin, Jane, gave me this recipe.  This is a great recipe because the dough will keep for several days in and airtight container in the fridge.  You can take out enough to make a few rolls for dinner each night.  Just imagine having fresh rolls each evening for a week.  Yum!

SPOON ROLLS

1 pkg. dry yeast
2 cups warm water
1 1/2 sticks melted margarine or butter
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup sugar
4 cups self-rising flour

Place yeast in two cups warm water and mix until yeast dissolves. Melt butter and cream with sugar in a large bowl; add beaten egg. Pour in dissolved years mixture. Add flour and stir until mixed well. The batter will be a little lumpy. Place in an airtight bowl in the refrigerator. To bake, drop by spoonfuls onto into well-greased muffin tins. Bake at 350 degrees about 20 minutes. This dough will keep for a few days in an airtight container in the fridge.

Here’s an easy recipe for Monkey Bread

MONKEY BREAD

1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/4 cup butter, melted

Preheat over to 350.  Spray a small bundt pan with Pam.  You can use a loaf pan or cake pan instead of the bundt pan, if you prefer. 

Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a plastic food bag.

Separate the biscuits, and then cut each one into quarters.  Place the biscuit pieces in the bag with the sugar and cinnamon.  Shake to coat well.  Then place the coated biscuit pieces in the pan.

Mix the brown sugar and melted butter.  Pour over the biscuit pieces.

Bake for approx. 30 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool in pan for about 10 minutes.  Then invert onto a plate.  Serve warm.  You just pull apart however much you want to eat. Makes 6 servings.

This makes a great dish to take to a morning meeting.
