Recipes that make it into my recipe binder

I have decided that I need to make a greater effort to be organized in my recipes- My efforts will be included in my Cup of Love blog. I hope this will motivate me to get my act together.

The Romay's Venezuelan Dinner

Masa Mix (a Corn mix- purchased from your ethnic Grocery store or from Sam's Club)
1 Egg
Milk
Margarine

Add soft margarine, egg, and milk, to Masa flour and mix with your hands till you get a good dough consistency (like playing with playdough). With a handful of dough, make a patty- similar to a biscuit and set aside. Repeat with all the dough. Preheat griddle (pancake grill). Cook Masa biscuits on greased griddle. When the first side is golden brown, flip and cook on other side, till the patty sounds hollow when tapped.

Cut open and fill with Cheese or Shredded meat mixtures like chicken or beef.

Terry's 1 hour Rolls

1-Hour Roll recipe

3-1/2 – 4 Cups flour
1 tsp salt
2 Tbls yeast
1 egg
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup sugar
6 Tbls margarine or oil
2 Tbls Margarine (for butterfly-parker house style rolls)

Warm water and margarine/oil in microwave 30 seconds (more, if you are melting the margarine).  Put sugar and salt in bottom of bowl.  Add warm water mixture and mix together.  Place yeast in measuring cup with a tsp of sugar and enough lukewarm water to cover the yeast.  Set aside for about a minute to raise.  Add approx 2 cups of flour to water mixture.  Add the egg and mix.  Add yeast and remaining flour.  Let machine knead, adding a little flour to side of bowl to keep from sticking.  Let raise in warm place 15-20 min.  Then, on floured surface, roll out dough to ¼ - ½ in thick.  Using a wide mouthed glass or large biscuit cutter, cut out circles.  Melt & dip half in butter (other 2 TBSP from cube) and fold over, pressing seam together in one spot to seal.  Raise 15 min.  Cook 15-18 min at 350 degrees.  Makes 21-24 rolls.
