Cleochatra's Revoloopsie Rolls (home-made hamburger buns and more) - Page 53

Madam De Leon · 04-20-2008, 04:59 AM

I live in Pennsylvania. It's not so much that it gets too, too hot here (although we definitely have times when the mercury goes over 100F), it's that this house stays horribly HOT in the summertime, especially my little kitchen. The heat just builds up over the days, with nowhere to escape to.

Ranch house. Black roof. No shade trees. Our attic ends up radiating heat down into the house. Window air conditioners that can barely keep the house below 80F most of the time. Even if it cools off to around 50 at night, I can't open the windows that have the AC's in them, so the air circulation isn't good in here at all, so it doesn't really cool off at night.

I avoid using the oven at all during the summertime and prefer to do quick stove top cooking, crock pot or microwave cooking, because the heat hangs around for ages in a kitchen that's already far too hot.

Hence, the reason I'm making massive quantities of oopsies to store in the freezer.

jenna... · 04-20-2008, 10:43 AM

Good idea! Here in Southern California (technically one big desert) those kinda days call for counter top oven. It's cute and so much cooler then the big oven, unfortunately the space inside is kinda small for oopsies.

Madam De Leon · 04-20-2008, 10:57 AM

Yeah, I could do 2 oopsies at a time in my little toaster oven... but even so, having that on for 30 minutes while they bake, lotsa heat generated by that little thing.

This is also why I was attempting to see how it turned out to make oopsies in the microwave. But of course what I ended up with was flatsies... and I do mean flat... about like a very limp, bendy potato chip.

They were still tasty, but I wouldn't have gone to all the trouble of beating the egg white stiff if I'd realized they were going to go that flat!

RockyMtnAngelEyes · 04-20-2008, 11:17 AM

I set up a 'kitchen' in the garage, in the summer.. Toaster ovens, roaster, even the crock pot {if I really knew how to use that} I wish I had a regular oven out there...

I figure it's already hot out there anyway. I want to get a large, toaster/oven/convection oven, to go out there. I've seen some that are large enough to do what I need to do...

Madam De Leon · 04-20-2008, 11:20 AM

I guess I could take the toaster oven out on the patio and use it out there... Some days, I might not even need to plug it in!

Cleo!!! Count me in as a new convert!!! I couldn't believe how easy these were to do after following your directions - I made some that looked like yours on the first try. I've already eaten my first batch because I'm so excited. Moderation tomorrow I guess....

Awesome creation!!!!

jeanessa · 04-21-2008, 09:55 AM

I had one of my protein-packed oopsies with Italian Sausage & Peppers

Yummo!

rowdy1 · 04-22-2008, 06:53 PM

Mama...just throwing this out there....someone, or you, could try and bake the oopsies on a grill and see how it goes. Newer gas grills have a great capacity to keep temperatures even and all that razz.

thisisrightnow · 04-22-2008, 08:14 PM

I bought some spiffy mini cake pans from Target today and they work wonders. My Oopsies turned out much better today. They have a more definite shape and I like that.

Lickrish · 04-23-2008, 07:08 PM

*does a dance*

I DID IT! YES! I finally made a successful batch of oopsies! I am not sure how many times I've tried...3? 4? I've never gotten my whites to peak but I was determined tonight because we had way too many eggs in the fridge. I tried one and OMG! I'll be making these a lot! I wish I had them earlier I made LC sloppy joes but didn't eat bread with mine.

I am definitely getting some of the mini pans to make these more uniform my LC life will never be the same.

...FINALLY!

TY Cleo for yet another great recipe.

Divabunny · 04-24-2008, 04:29 PM

I'm afraid to try these. In the picture they look eggy and spongy, are they? Are these really a good substitute for bread?

thisisrightnow · 04-24-2008, 04:44 PM

If you're eating them just by themselves, then yes.. you can taste the eggs. But if you're using them as actual bread, then no. Especially when I put a hamburger, mayo, ketchup on it.. I can't even tell. Or I'll even use them as "pancakes" and put butter and syrup on them.

I think they are the perfect substitute for bread, cause it sucked all those months not being able to eat a hamburger on a bun.

cleochatra · 04-24-2008, 04:47 PM

I just made something sublime with an oopsie tweak.

<--- meet a cruller...

Oh my gorsh...I think I just peed myself.....LOL Um, I want one....NOW!

cleochatra · 04-25-2008, 02:18 PM

I put the link to the recipe in a thread below in this forum for the crepes, angel food cake, and crullers, and chocolate glaze...

Here it is!

Lickrish · 04-25-2008, 07:01 PM

ahh I must try those! I wish I had seen this before going to the store today. I'm shy a few ingredients. Tomorrow maybe. I DO have the pans for those though. Its funny because I almost made my oopsies in them the other night because I want a perfect round one BUT I knew the hole in the center might be an issue for some uses. lol

I went looking for some small type pans today for bun style but walmart didn't have any.

and thats the only place I went.

I think I've made 3 batches of these since I posted that I did it! lol they are so good and the GREAT thing is I've been stalled going on FOREVER and I was down one lb this morning. I shall call them miracle oopsies. lol

I may have to try making monkey bread out of oopsies basically all I need is the "bread" and I can use everything else. My kids would LOVE it!

cleochatra · 04-26-2008, 09:21 AM

Lickrish-- I think these can be stallbreakers because of the high protein and fat in the rolls. Even though the texture is VERY different, ingredientswise, they're scrambled eggs with cheese--two things which really facilitate weight loss on a lower-carb, whole-foods plan as essentially induction-menu foods. I really think these are also filling enough that you just have little to no hunger afterwards. It really sticks to the gut.

thank goodness they don't taste like scrambled eggs. Its about the only way I can't stand eggs which is funny because I loved them as a kid.

YEA its PMS etc time too and this is when I usually lose weight. I know totally opposite than the norm. I wish I could lose weight the other 3 weeks of the month too. lol

Divabunny · 04-27-2008, 04:37 PM

I finally made these...I'm not quite sure how I feel about these yet. I omitted the sugar but didn't add anything extra. I am quite proud of myself that I was able to whip up egg whites on my first try. I took the advice and put the beaters and the bowl in the freezer first (I even put the eggs in the freezer...hehe). I baked them for 25 mins. and mine came out soooooooo light and airy. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't very eggy. yay! The consistency is kinda weird the best way to describe it is that it kind of melts in your mouth the way cotton candy does, just kinda disappears. I took half of one and added mayo/mustard turkey and cheese and it was pretty good. I will definitely make these and play around with the add-ins. I have a few questions:

Are they suppose to be really light and airy? (mine crumbled on the edges)

Can these be baked directly on a pizza stone?

For those of you making pizza are you adding all the ingredients and then putting them under the broiler?

Do they get soggy when you add the pizza sauce?

Thanks Cleo, for the recipe! It'll be fun playing around with it!!
