Pigs in a Blanket #CulinaryCam #NationalPigsinaBlanketDay

Supposedly Saturday, April 24th is National Pigs in a Blanket Day. Uh-huh. Okay!

We filmed this process for our Culinary Cam YouTube channel and I will link to that as soon as it's live. In the meantime I'm giving you plenty of warning and lead time to make this for yourself because, trust me, you are going to want to eat these.

This dough is my go-to for everything from dinner rolls to the actual rolls, Danish Fastelavnsboller. It's quick to make and such a great texture. I do skip the milk and the cardamom for regular uses.

Ingredients

Dough

13 grams active dry yeast
250 ml water, warmed to steaming but not boiling
100 grams butter, melted and slightly cooled
40 grams organic granulated sugar
450 grams flour + more for kneading
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg

Assembly and Serving

hot dogs (prefer organic, 100% grass-fed)
ketchup
mustard
Also needed: rolling pin, baking sheet lined with parchment paper and silicone mat

Procedure

Dough
Pour warm water into a large mixing bowl, stir in sugar, and sprinkle yeast over the top. Let bloom for 10 to 15 minutes. It should be foamy and frothy. Add in the butter and egg. Whisk to combine.

Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Knead until a scraggy dough forms. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 30 to 40 minutes. It should be doubled in size.

Assembly

Dust a workspace with flour and turn out the dough. Knead the dough, dusting to prevent sticking if needed. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to a rectangle, approximately 12" x 16". Cut the dough into strips to wrap the hot dogs. I reserved the rest and made dinner rolls!

Wrap the hot dogs with the strips and place it on parchment paper or silicone mat-lined baking sheet. Let them rest and rise for 20 to 25 minutes. While the dough rises, preheat the oven to 395 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place the dogs in the oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes before serving.

Serve with whatever condiments you prefer. I served these with organic ketchup and two kinds of mustard.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
