Kitchen Moments ~ Short Cuts
12:35 AM, May. 13, 2008
Short cuts are nice, aren't they? We all like to know the short cuts on how to get places. And the short cuts on how to figure out Algebra problems. How about short cuts on losing weight? (If any one has learned of one that is healthy, please contact me!!!) I suppose there are "not-so-good" short cuts that we should all avoid (like a short cut that a builder might take when building a home). But today I want to give you some short cuts to use in the kitchen. These are easy to prepare, even easier to use and can be used over and over again. How's that for short cuts?
First off, pan or deep fried chicken. The best part about this recipe is that you can make a big batch of it, put it in a gallon Ziploc bag and keep it in the freezer. Don't worry about using it over and over again, as long as you use it only for chicken. You never want to take flour that has touched raw chicken and use it for something else. Fried Chicken Flour Mix
3 cups flour
1 cup cornmeal 2 Tbs kosher salt 1 Tbs onion powder 1 Tbs ground mustard 2 tsp black pepper 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp granulated garlic 1. Mix all the flour ingredients together. Heat the oil in a deep pot to 350„a 2. Coat all the chicken pieces in the flour mix and set on a sheet pan. After 10-15 minutes, coat the chicken in flour again. 3. Drop the chicken into the hot oil biggest pieces first and fry the chicken for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165„a. Let rest a few minutes and serve hot. Second, pan frying fish. This breading too, can be held in freezer. As it is with the chicken, do not use this breading for anything else other than fish. 3 cups flour
2 Tbs kosher salt 1 Tbs onion powder 1 Tbs ground mustard 2 tsp black pepper 2 tsp paprika 1 tsp granulated garlic dried parsley for color cayenne pepper to taste 1. Coat fish in breading and fry in shallow amount of oil. Fry on each side until golden brown.
Third, making your own condensed soup mix. This has one more step than opening a can and putting it in your recipe, but it doesn't have all those preservatives and you can put any flavor in it that you want. Cream of Anything Dry Mix
2 cups powder milk 3/4 cups cornstarch 1 Tbs onion powder 1 tsp black pepper 3/4 tsp mustard, dry, ground 1/3 tsp granulated garlic 1. Bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil. Stir in 1/2 cup of dry mix with a whisk. Boil mixture until thick.
2. Once your soup base is thick, add desired flavorings (chicken base, cheese, dry mushrooms, or just salt it to taste for a flavorful cream base). Fourth, pancake mix. You can make a big batch of this, put it in a container (we use an empty ice cream container) and store it in your pantry. Pancake Mix
6 cups flour 1 1/2 cups powder milk 2 tsp salt 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup powder To make 7 pancakes:
1. Measure out 1 1/4 cups dry mix and mix with 1 egg, 3/4 cups water, 1 to 2 Tablespoons of oil. Jennifer Dewing has experience in the restaurant business.
