Cleochatra's Revoloopsie Rolls (home-made hamburger buns and more)

[cleochatra]

Holy happy crabapples!



Do you know how long I've had my fingers crossed for you? What made the difference?

[hockeyfan8]

Those things look delish!! Do ya'll have the recipe??

[cleochatra]

Here you go! Recipe.

[CarolynF]

I just made some garlic/shredded cheddar/parmesan ones for dinner..Mix the cheeses with the cream cheese/yolks.

I love to be the one to tell you this: YES!!!!

They're so good!

[DorianH]

Yep- it was exactly like I said. I mixed it the same as before, but I flattened them more before baking, and I let them go a few extra minutes. I pulled them out at 25 minutes before because I was afraid of burning them. This time, I let them go almost 35 minutes.

I just ate one with butter- totally different taste!!! Really yummy. I'm having them with a sausage scramble and cheese, so I'll see how they hold up.

Tomorrow- cheeseburgers!

[hockeyfan8]

You could even sorta roll them up and put a hotdog on them. I think I'm gonna like these. I need to pick up some lettuce tommorow so I'll probably pick up cream cheese.

I did notice there was a SMALL amount of yolk in the whites when I seperated.. just that small amount won't mess it up will it? I used extra cream of tartar tonight as well.

Yes just a small amount will keep them from getting stiff, and also any fat or oil of any kind will keep them from beating properly. Use a good very clean metal or glass bowl as plastic sometimes will hold greasy residue in them. Beaters must also be very clean, That is why you must beat the whites before the yolk/cream cheese mixture. Keep trying you will get it. Also remember when you fold the two mixtures together, you must be very gentle.

Edited to add, Sorry siciliangirl I posted before I saw you already answered.

They don't really "roll", they're supple, but a tad spongy. Cleo used them as bread for a gyro I think....but I don't know if it could roll all the way.....hmmm, makes a good sammie though. I'm thinking ham and swiss, grilled............

some others have added SF syrup and butter and ate it like a pancake....

Haystar's been using them too....what other things can we do with them?

[hockeyfan8]

OH!! I have missed grilled cheese sammies!!

[DorianH]

Yeah these have a very light taste....I bet they'd make a great grilled cheese!

[CarolynF]

I tried them for a hot dog roll in my muffin top pan and they didn't roll too well..But, if I free form them on a cookie sheet..making them "thinner", it might work for a hot dog roll..
What do you think, Cleo?

[haystar]

I used them plain, warmed up with butter for breakfast or for dinner rolls.
I add a spoonful of artichoke tomato sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese to make mini pizzas under the broiler.
I put some colby cheese between 2, and put it under the broiler for a grilled cheese (plus lc ketchup of course!)
I make fried egg sammies with them- egg, ham or sausage, and cheese.
Use them for hamburgers/turkey burgers

Things I PLAN to do in the future:
Pancakes/french toast with lc syrup!
Use them as a base for strawberry shortcake!

I have some more ideas written down somewhere...

[lil miss]

Used buns to eat:
Wendy's burger
Red Robin Burger
Whopper!

Future plans for Cleo's buns:

Peanut butter and smelly
grilled cheese
pizza
Philly cheesesteaks
fajitas/soft tacos
choc chip pancakes eventually
pancakes
to sop up any yummy sauce
Sloppy Joes!
Meatball sub?

<drool>

[lildragonfly]

I used them as french toast this morning with carb free syrup ...was soo good. Had them as buns tonight on my turkey burger.

[shoelattegurl]

Those look great! I just made my first batch last night, and to my suprise they turned out! Im not the BEST cook! So far I just like eating mine plain! Or warmed up with a little butter..mmmmm!

I think thinner is great for hot dogs and brats (Wisconsinites need their brats). Thin is especially awesome for gyros.

Thicker still does a pretty sweet job, though for buns.

[shadowzip]

shadowzip-- that recipe looks pretty good! I wonder if it would be schloobery on the bread. I'd be willing to give it a shot, though! Piled high, it's be pretty awesome!

I think they would be okay with just the meat and onions and cheese, you would just have to go easy on the sauce that forms, maybe fold one over taco style fill with filling and dip in sauce? It is an excellent recipe. That is the only reason I buy cube steaks.

By the way your recipe rocks. I have made revolution rolls countless times and these are the absolute best. Just a hint for everyone the last time I made them I layered them with parchment paper and covered them loosely with saran wrap and placed in the fridge. They stayed dry like when taken out of the oven, and do not stick to the parchment paper.

[hockeyfan8]

Thanks everybody for all the ideas. Now I know I'm going to the store tommorow!!!

[cleochatra]

WOW. You guys are a veritable smorgasborg of gastronomic delights.

And I'm not even sure I know what I said, but I was almost reduced to a nommy nommy nommy.
