Spicy Italian Crescent Ring

Ingredients

2 cans (8 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1/2 cup well drained roasted red bell peppers (from a jar)
8 slices provolone cheese, halved
1/3 lb deli sliced hot salami
1/4 lb deli sliced ham
1/4 lb deli sliced capocollo
1/2 cup well drained hot pepper rings (from a jar)

Steps
1 Heat oven to 375°F.
2 Unroll both cans of dough; separate into 8 rectangles. On ungreased 12-inch pizza pan, arrange rectangles in ring so short sides of rectangles form a circle in center. (Dough will overlap; half of each rectangle will hang over edge of pan. Dough ring should resemble a sun.)
3 Spread roasted red bell peppers towards center of ring on bottom halves of rectangles. Top with half of the cheese. Layer salami, ham and capocollo slices over cheese. Arrange pepper rings over top. Cover with remaining half of cheese.
4 Bring each dough rectangle hanging over side of pan up over stacked filling, tucking dough under bottom layer of dough to secure it. Repeat around sandwich until entire filling is enclosed (some filling might show a little but that is okay.) Sprinkle with black pepper.
5 Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until dough is golden brown and thoroughly baked. Remove from oven; cool 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into serving slices.
To drain the roasted red bell peppers thoroughly, use a fine mesh strainer, then set on a few paper towels to absorb any extra moisture.

*If you don’t like it spicy, switch out the deli meats for a milder flavor, and swap in some ripe olives instead of the hot pepper rings.

Bisquick Cinnamon Rolls

Bisquick Cinnamon Rolls


Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups Bisquick
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped nuts
2 Tablespoons butter melted
3/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 cup powdered sugar
1-2 Tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:
In a large bowl, Combine Bisquick, butter milk and sugar in a bowl using a fork. Mix just until all combined to create a dough.
In a medium bowl, Combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon and nuts in separate bowl. Add 2 tablespoons melted butter and stir to moisten. Set aside.
Generously flour rolling surface.I know it seems like a lot but trust me, this is a sticky dough. Turn dough out onto surface and start patting into a rectangular shape with your hand. Flour your hand well also.
Use a rolling pin to thin dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Do not over-roll, the dough will stick.
Once rolled out, pour 3/4 cup melted butter over entire surface then spread with pastry brush to even out and get to the edges.
Sprinkle sugar/nut mixture over butter.
Start rolling dough from long end.
Slice into 1 inch to 1/2 inch slices. I used dental floss to slice mine. It really does work, without mushing the pastry.
Transfer slices to a well greased 9 x 13 pan. I used a spatula to make it easier.
Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 25-30 minutes, util just golden brown on tops.
Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Combine powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until desired consistency and drizzle over topped of rolls.

To Die For Banana Cake With Vanilla Bean Frosting Recipe

Ingredients

Cake:

• 2/3 cup sugar 
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup mashed super ripe banana (about 2)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Frosting:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/4 cups confectioner's sugar, sifted
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste* (see below)

Directions

To make cake (is easily mixed by hand):

1. Preheat the oven to 375F (see note below). 
2. Cream together sugar, sour cream, egg, and 2 tablespoons softened butter. 
3. Add mashed bananas and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 
4. Add flour, salt, and baking soda; mix well. 
5. Pour into an 8x8-inch pan that has been sprayed with baking spray.
6. Bake at 375F for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 
7. Cool completely before frosting.

To make frosting:

1. Cream butter and confectioner's sugar together until smooth. 
2. Slowly add the heavy cream and vanilla bean paste; stir until smooth.  
3. Spread on cooled cake. 

Notes  

• Vanilla bean paste is a product that can be purchased at gourmet groceries or you can order it online (linked below).  Here's the general rule for substituting vanilla: 1 vanilla bean = 1 tablespoon vanilla powder = 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste = 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract.
• Bake at 350F if using a glass pan.   

IMPORTANT TIP

• To ensure the cake bakes without a hump, wrap the cake pan with insulated baking strips.  I wouldn't even dream about baking a layer cake without them!

Meatballs

Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cakes

Cake Ingredients:

2 eggs
2/3 cup white sugar
4 Tbsp pineapple juice
2/3 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Topping:

1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick or 4 Tbsp)
2/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
1-can pineapple rings
6-maraschino cherries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray your muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.

In a mixing bowl, add eggs, white sugar, and pineapple juice. Beat for 2 minutes. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and turn mixer back on for 2 minutes.

In a small sauce pan, melt the butter and add the brown sugar. Stir on low heat for one minute.

Spoon a layer of the warm brown sugar mixture into the bottom of each muffin tin, then place a pineapple ring on top. Add a cherry in the middle of each pineapple. Pour cake mixture over to fill muffin tin 3/4 of the way full. If you are using regular muffin tins, you will need to cut down the rings to fit or just use pineapple tidbits.

Bake jumbo cakes for 25 minutes. Bake regular cakes for 20 minutes. If you choose to make a large cake, bake for 22-25 minutes in a 10 inch cast iron skillet. The cake is done with a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Remove from the oven. Let cool in pan for 3 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each cake to help loosen in case it sticks a little. Place a wire cooling rack on top, and quickly flip over on top of sheet tray to catch extra drippings.
Place wire rack of cakes on sheet tray to cool.
