Salty Bones

From www.familyfun.com

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
1 tube of refrigerated breadstick dough (we used an 11-ounce tube to make 12 bones)
Coarse salt

1. Unroll a tube of refrigerated breadstick dough and separate the rectangular pieces. 2. Working with one piece at a time, stretch the dough to lengthen it a bit and then use kitchen scissors or a knife to cut a 11/2-inch slit in the center of each end. 3. Roll or shape the resulting four flaps of dough into knobs that look like the ends of a bone. 4. Place the dough bones on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart, and sprinkle on a little coarse salt. Bake the bones until they are light golden brown, about 12 minutes.

EASY Mexican Bread

1 bag frozen Rhodes Rolls

1 can diced green chilis

a few TBS diced onion

grated cheese

melted butter

this is so easy to make, but so yummy! I cut up the rolls into 4ths and put them in a casserole dish side by side and allow them to rise. once they have risen, spread the tops with melted butter, sprinkle diced green chilis and onions across the top and cover with grated cheese as desired. Bake according to directions on the rhoades roll package or until as crispy or soft as you want.

French Toast

This recipe is from my mother-in-law, who got it from her mother.
I've changed it just a bit from her original recipe, but we love it.

French Toast
8 slices Texas toast or other thick cut bread

Mix together:
1 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt

Combine:
1 cup milk
1 egg

Poor milk into flour mixture, beating until smooth.
Dip bread in mixture, and cook in greased/buttered frying pan
or on a griddle until golden brown on both sides.
Serve warm with butter and syrup.

(I usually double the recipe, and use an entire loaf of bread.)

Overnight Carmel Rolls

1 cup chopped pecans (I usually make it without nuts)
24 frozen dinner rolls
1 package butterscotch pudding mix (Cook and Serve, not instant)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar

Grease a Bundt pan or other fluted cake pan. (If you don't have one you can also use a 9x13 pan and just not layer it.) Sprinkle in half of the nuts. Separate frozen rolls and arrange half over the nuts. Sprinkle half the pudding mix and cinnamon on top. Repeat layers.

Bring butter and brown sugar to boil, pour over rolls. Place in refrigerator overnight. One hour before baking place rolls on counter top. Cover and allow to stand at room temperature one hour. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Turn out on serving plate immediately.

Cinnamon Rolls

SERVES 12

1 (1/4 ounce) package dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup margarine
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
4 cups flour
FILLING
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/3 cup margarine, softened
ICING
8 tablespoons margarine
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt

For the rolls, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk in a large bowl.
Add sugar, margarine salt, eggs, and flour, mix well.
Knead the dough into a large ball, using your hands dusted lightly with flour.
Put in a bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface, until it is approx 21 inches long by 16 inches wide.
It should be approx 1/4 thick.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

To make filling, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
Spread the softened margarine over the surface of the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the surface.
Working carefully, from the long edge, roll the dough down to the bottom edge.
Cut the dough into 1 3/4 inch slices, and place in a lightly greased baking pan.
Bake for 10 minutes or until light golden brown.

While the rolls are baking combine the icing ingredients.
Beat well with an electric mixer until fluffy.
When the rolls are done, spread generously with icing.

I have made this dough in my bread machine on the dough cycle. It works out great, less clean up! After I put the sliced rolls in the pan I let them rise for 15-20 minutes. Then bake as instructed. They are a family favorite!
