Marsha, isn't that always the way?! They never like anything until you really want to eat it.

[cleochatra]

Rory-- that could work! And they're already yellow, so they look like they could be made from alien corn. Like from a chicken's butt.

[cleochatra]

Look! I made a local section of the Denver Post! Don't look at me. I'm as surprised as you are.

Do you guys use a stand mixer?

[cleochatra]

I did this last time.

Bonus: It mixed them up extra stiff while I worked the eggs and cream cheese with a different mixer.

Bad side: The bowl was deeper so incorporating everything with my usual implement was more difficult.

I do. Need all the stiffening help I can get. (if i were a guy i wouldn't be describing it that way....)

[metqa]

Goes great with Bratwurst! I used this recipe to make cheese danishes!

Has anyone tried using Egg white powder to make the merigue part. I got some for other recipes and wondered if it whips like regular egg whites. I guess I should just try and let you know the results. . . Well, I'm off to go whip egg white powder. Let you know in a bit.

[metqa]

So I've got this can of powdered egg white and decided to whip it to see if it, well, whips up.

I followed the instructions using warm water, but the powder stuck to the spatula and floated all over. (I usually mix it in with other ingredients) So I figured, I'd use the beaters to mix it up before beating and it suds up like detergent. I went through the whole procedure and it seemed to whip up fine but I couldn't get it STIFF stiff. Plus I'm using my new melamine bowls and it doesn't stick to anything, so I couldn't try the upside down experiment, it kept trying slide right out. When I went to pour it into another bowl the whole batch slid out in the exact shape of the bowl and went plop! Since i was experimenting I didn't make rolls with it, so I'm faking a chocolate spongecake yule roll I dunno, I've had this recipe for years but never tried it and since I didn't use whole eggs I just whipped some cream cheese with cocoa powder and splenda and a couple of eggs and folded it together and stuck it in the oven.

Cleo, you've given me the courage to try new things involving whipped egg whites!

Buche de Noel! I would love to make that again at christmas! Let me know how it turned out!

[soon2bfitmom]

mine came out very runny - i put them in muffin cups - they are good but more 'scrambled eggy' than anything

tips on next time?

[cleochatra]

I didn't like mine in cups. They were too quichy. I think they need to be left on a flat pan to achieve their full sexy value.

[~mina~]

nice, cleo!!

thats pretty exciting

ROFL@sexy value.. ummm.. yeah hah

[soon2bfitmom]

Ok, but very runny they wouldnt have 'held' that way = the cookiesheet woulda been just liquid! (they were pancake batter like - and I did have the whites peakin!)

Sexy value...

Just had to comment on how much I truly love you

[cleochatra]

metga-- You have me drooling with that brat over there! WOW! That looks wunnerful!

And those danished look rocking! What did you put on top of the cream cheese filling? Is that low-carb jelly?

I'm glad you're experimenting with the powdered whites! I have a whole container of vanilla-scented protein egg white crap that I bought to make smoothies with and haven't used a single bit of it! I suppose I should try some stuff with it.

I'm still thinking of that brat, though...

Rory, that looks awesome!

[cleochatra]

Lil-- Ohhh. I missed the bit about them being runny. I add the batter to the whites with a tall tea spoon/dessert spoon in order to create the least amount of disturbance in the Force. And then, I stir very slowly, in an S pattern.

It takes some practice. I almost overbeat my whites so they'll hold up better.

I lubs you, too haystar! {{{{haystar}}}}

mina-- If food cannot taste sexy, it should at least look sexy.

[soon2bfitmom]

I'll try that next time! they are still good tho!!!!

[~mina~]

mmm buns






LOL

[~mina~]

gah!! just checked on the gyro... ooooo that looks awesome!

stillscaredoflamb

i think these would make awesome tacos! ima try it!

[pocahontas]

I just had a turkey sandwhich! I made the original oopsie recipe using a muffin top pan and they came out perfectly round. I think I am going to add some savory spices to the next batch.

[cleochatra]

mina-- I am sososososo skittish when it comes to eating something that didn't make its way into a burger bun. But the lamb... it is so savory. It's a bit smokier-tasting, and it is really quite good! I really like it. My kids snarfed down a bunch of it without ever knowing it wasn't beef. Finally one of them said, "You know, that's a little different. What is it?" I told them it's lamb. They all shrugged and asked for seconds.

It was really good stuff. I bought more already!

Lilk-- I am sorry they were runny! I had some the other day that separated a little. I had to improvise. LOL

mina-- buns rule!

pocahontas-- that sounds really delicious! Is the muffin pan hard to clean? I had a nightmare of a time with muffin tins.

I added chives and shredded cheese to a few of the rolls and they were pretty good! In a few, I added in green olives. That was even better!

this happened to me when some yolk fell in with the whites and the whites wouldn't stiffen no matter how much i beat them. didn't even help when i prayed to my small statue of Cleo.

so, this is what i did...and it's genius i tell you!! i will put the recipe on my site to share with the world the genius that is.....well, okay. i'm not a genius but that this fix came out of my head surprised the heck out of me.

i added 3 tbl of almond meal and 1 tbl of plain whey protein powder. spiced up the batter with cayenne and stuff. poured it into a pizza pan so it was very thin. baked it until it got hard and crackery. broke it into pieces and put it into a plastic bag. beat on the bag to make bread crumbs. and made awesome FRIED CHICKEN!! they were the best and easiest lc bread crumbs ever!!

still have some of the breadcrumbs left over and i'll be making more chicken tomorrow.

so, that's my one great contribution to the world of lc cooking. (ok, i have one more but it's not from a Cleo roll.)

You owe me a new monitor.

[lildragonfly]

Kat- please do post that recipe. I could use some good ole fried chicken.
Also what have some of you added to make them different flavors and so forth. These have become a weekly thing I make now.

good luck with collecting.

when we're standing in front of judge judy i would need only to show her your posts for her to rule in favor of my counterclaim. and what's my complaint? YOU owe ME twenty-seven monitors. yes, twenty-seven.

i'm keeping a tab.

[cleochatra]

Some add-ins I've tried:

green olives and shredded cheese
green olives, ham and cheese
ham and cheese
cheese and chives

[cleochatra]

Don't get cheeky with me, kat. I'll sit on you and bounce up and down on your bladder until you wee yourself.
