Skyrim ~ Sweet Roll

When planning this recipe my first thought was a cinnamon roll, that is what I thought the in game sweet roll looked like. But, I did not ant to make another cinnamon roll recipe so here is my take on Skyrim's sweet roll. 

It is similar to a Hawaiian Sweet Roll but I altered the recipe a bit. I also iced one with some pineapple flavored icing but the rolls just plain are quite sweet and pineapple-y.

Here is the iced one. 

You will need:

2 (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast

1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

3 eggs

11/2 cup pineapple juice

3/4 cup white sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

6 cups all-purpose flour

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. 

Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.

When it smells like funky beer. It's ready.

In a large bowl, beat the yeast mixture, eggs, pineapple juice, sugar, ginger, vanilla.

The is what the dough looks like after 3 cups of flour have been added.

 

Here is the full 6 cups.

Gradually stir in flour until a stiff batter is formed   

Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours.

See how much higher it is. Yay!

Turn the dough onto a well floured surface. It will be sticky and stretchy. Use a knife or pull it apart to make balls. 

Divide the dough into 2 - 2 1/2oz pieces and form loosely into round balls.

Don't have a food scale. It is about the 2 inches in diameter or you can cup it in the palm of your hand. 

It doesn't have to be perfect. 

You can eyeball them so they are close to the same size.

Place the balls into a lightly greased cake pans or dish. 

Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until tops are golden brown.

Yum!

Toxic Oozling ~ World of Warcraft

Broll Bearmantle showing off his new pet, the toxic oozling. 

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt

Mix sugar and butter together. 

 Add eggs and chocolate. 

 Spread in a greased baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

 Good job! Now smash it into pieces! And add a cupful of icing.

 Roll into balls and set on a tray. Let chill in fridge until they hold together. (4 hours)

Here you have 2 choices:
You can melt white chocolate, add a few drops of green food coloring and drop brownie balls and coat with chocolate.
Set on a tray till chocolate hardens.


Or:


Make a thin icing and poured it over the balls. Smooth it around with a knife. It takes a few hours for it to dry completely. 
Both are messy and equally delicious.

 Let dry.

Yum!

Cup of Tasty Frosting ~ Lord of the Rings

You will need:

1/2 c (one stick) butter, softened
2 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla flavoring (I used butter rum flavoring)
2-4 tsp milk

Mix softened butter and 1 cup of powdered sugar until incorporated

Add second cup of powdered sugar and mix. 
Add vanilla flavoring and mix.

If the icing is too thick add a teaspoon of milk at a time and stir until its consistency is just where you want it.

It also helps, after making Tasty Frosting, to have a Delicious Chocolate Cake handy.

Yum!

Winter Veil Cookies

You will need:

1 cup butter

1 cup sugar

3 eggs

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla

3 cups flour

Combine all ingredients.

Mix well.

Drop onto floured surface.

Cut some of the dough off and roll in flour until it is not sticky.

Roll dough out till desired thickness.

Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees F. (176 degrees C)

See how the edges are slightly brown, that is how you want the cookies. If you wait until the tops are brown, the cookies will turn out hard.

This is what the bottoms should look like.

Simplest Christmas icing job ever:

I took white icing and generously iced the cookies.

Then I took some blue tinted sugar and sprinkled then.

Snowballs!

You can buy blue sugar at the grocery store or you can take

1/4c sugar

1 drop of blue food coloring

mix

Yum!
