Cleochatra's Revoloopsie Rolls (home-made hamburger buns and more) - Page 7

Here's a picture of a Revol-oopsie Yule Cake
I had a recipe for making a chocolate yule cake but it was just eggs, splenda and cocoa. Since I was experimenting with whipping dry egg whites I decided to make it.
the frosting is heavy cream, cream cheese and white chocolate instant pudding
the cake is 4 eggs worth of egg white powder, two eggs, 1 cup sweetener, 3 T cocoa, 2 T bake mix, a dash of vanilla and chocolate extract.

Same concept, whip4 whites ,mix everything else, fold, pour, bake, then spread pudding, roll up, cut off ends, place and frost.

All because of Ooopsie did I try this and I am pleased, it tasted alright

CarolynF · 01-12-2008, 03:59 PM

Wow..girls...Now, Cleo..Do you take your oopseys into Wendy's and ask for a bunless baconator, then put your baconator on the rolls at your seat? OR, do you order the baconator and toss the buns and replace with your oopsie rolls? I want to know proper
Oopsie etiquette.

I LOVED that article in the paper..You are doing such a service to peeps everywhere..gluten/free/wheat/free/carb/free peeps with thank you..

The yule log looks nommie, nommie, too..

Let me begin by saying that I've never made any recipe from here, but decided to try this. Well, I made them and I DIDN'T MESS THEM UP!!!!! They are really good. I think I needed to cook them a minute or 2 longer cause they were a little squishy in the middle, but they are awesome!

I think they'll always be a *little* squishy just because of what they're made out of....just don't want you to cook them too long and burn them

It's fun hearing how people are tweaking the recipe!

I tweaked this...tweaked it real good. I put in nutmeg, cloves, and orange oil. While they were baking, I whipped up heavy cream to the stage just before it becomes butter, nice and thick. Smeared some SF raspberry jam, whipped cream and ate them whole.

Man, they were so yummy!

helens · 01-12-2008, 07:44 PM

Thanks for the great recipe, Cleochatra!

I just made my first batch of Revoloopsie Rolls and made it a double batch after reading all the posts. Sink or swim, right? Since we already ate supper, DH & I split one and were very impressed. They just melted in our mouths. YUM!

Since I have a couple of ideas, I'll be experimenting with this recipe in the near future.

Cap57 · 01-13-2008, 06:23 AM

I finally tried these yesterday after reading so much about them. I had tried the "real" RR wa-a-y back and didn't care for them.
Cleo, I love your Oopsies! They are really great as a neutral flavor to deliver whatever yummy fillings you want! I had mustard and black pastrami which was delicious. Then I tried toasting one and topping it with peanut butter. It was good, but I have another recipe for a microwave bread that I like better for that.

There is a recipe for a steak sandwich on the Pioneer Woman's blog that has me drooling. I'm wondering it would work on the oopsie rolls, or if they would get too soggy because the sandwich looks so juicy. I might give it a try.
If you google "Pioneer Woman Cooks" then look for Marlboro Man's Favorite Sandwich, you'll find the recipe. She has some other ones that can be LC friendly too, and like Cleo and Rory, she is very entertaining to read.
Thanks ladies, for keeping me laughing! And congrats Cleo, on the article!

cleochatra · 01-13-2008, 07:54 AM

Thank you, Cathy! I loved reading your post! Very informative! I am glad you like the recipe! I agree with its neutral flavor. I hated the original RRs. They haven't changed much since 1984. They still groded me out.

helens-- When you go to it, you really go to it! I am SO glad you like the recipe! I have to make double batches all of the time, but only because now I eat pizzas on them. LOL!

And they haven't stalled me one bit!

Chouter-- that sounds delicious! I might have to try that! Thank you so much for sharing!

Leanne! You rock! I am so glad they worked out for you! I always feel really bad when someone's batch doesn't work, so I am sososososo happy knowing yours did!!!

helens · 01-13-2008, 07:59 AM

I'm headed for the kitchen to cook up some bacon for breakfast. Since the rolls already contain the egg, the plan is to put the bacon on the revoloopsie rolls with a thin slice of tomato, then melt a bit of cheese on top in the toaster oven. Voila! A "grilled" bacon, tomato and cheese grilled sandwich!

cleochatra · 01-13-2008, 07:59 AM

metga! That looks great!!!

LOL!!! I can see that now. It always seems to confuse people when I tell them I don't want the bun. I just order the Baconator, take it home right away, and peel the bun off and toss it. As long as the burger stays warm, there's no problem there.

When I go to a sit-down restaurant, I just peel the bun off at the table after it arrives and set it aside, and then pull my buns out of my purse and make the swap.

If the burger is wrapped (because of its size), I always rewrap.

These buns have stood up to the largest Carl Junior burger I've ever seen, and to the Red Robin Guacanole Bacon Burger. Not even a problem.

One hint: make sure your buns have a wide enough circumference for the bigger burgers. If your bun is smaller than your burger, it could get messy.

cleochatra · 01-13-2008, 08:00 AM

helens-- That sounds wonderful! I also am a sucker for pesto, shredded mozzarella and a little sun-dried tomato.

hay · 01-13-2008, 08:16 AM

I am a sucker for grilled cheese sandwiches and ketchup....I think that will be my next oopsie experiment

cleochatra · 01-13-2008, 08:17 AM

ketchup on your GC?! Sacrilege.

I know, I know....its just something my famiy has done since I can remember! Everyone in my family loves it- everyone outside of the fam thinks we're NUTS!

Its the only way I'll eat them

And don't even TRY to give me tomato soup with my grilled cheese

cleochatra · 01-13-2008, 08:21 AM

Really, though. It sounds like a small, toasted pizza. Cheese with something that has some acidity to it. It sounds like it could be pretty good! I wonder what adding a little chopped artichoke heart to it might taste like?

when i first read your comment about ketchup with GC, i thought "ewww" but then i thought,
"well, that might not be much different than GC with tomato soup"

and then i read your last line!!! how ironic!

It really is good, I swear!

I like the coolness of the ketchup with the hot sandwich too.....I've never liked tomato soup, blech...but I love tomatoes, go figure.

Mine too

I mean, it is pretty weird....it even surprises me but I just plain don't like it.

I like tomato BISQUE-- nice and thick and chunky...or tomato parmesan...but plain tomato out of a can -or anywhere I guess- is just not for me-- all thin and yucky...nope!

Cutie does live in my pocket. She's really portable.

helens · 01-13-2008, 10:15 AM

haystar and cutie, I hate tomato soup, too, but like tomatoes and ketchup and tomato sauce, etc...just can't stand plain ole yukky tomato soup!

Well, cleochatra...the rev rolls were delicious with a slice of bacon on each, along with a slice of tomato, LF Feta and a bit of Mexican cheese mix. I put them into the toaster oven and broiled for about 2 minutes...DH says do more and I agree.

I want to try adding 2 or 3 tbsp of golden flaxseed meal and a dab of melted butter to the yolk part before folding it into the whites...what do you think? I'm thinking that would take these off the list of induction foods though?

I know, I know...if it works, leave it alone!

Blackbird · 01-13-2008, 11:05 AM

That sounds good. I used the original recipe, but in the last few minutes of baking, sprinkled just a tiny bit of grated cheddar on top of each one. Yum.

I added 1 TBS of almond flour to my batch and they turned out purrrfect!
my batch yielded 8 large buns.
I used
3 eggs and whites,
cr of t.
3 oz.cream cheese &
the 1 T. almond flour

I will see if they pass the hamburger test tomorrow.

michelemomof2 · 01-13-2008, 11:17 AM

I ate a Wendy's baconator on these Friday night (got the idea from Cleo). Yesterday for lunch, I had a Junior Whopper from Burger King on it. I took my rolls with me when DH said we were going to go through the drive-thru and get a quick burger to eat before hitting Home Depot. When I pulled the Revoloopsie rolls out of my purse, he looked at me like I was from outer space. lol

Have any of you tried tomato soup with fresh homemade blue cheese dressing swirled into it? It is a whole 'nother creature entirely. After that I can't eat plain tomato soup any more, It was too awesome.

helens · 01-13-2008, 11:47 AM

Well, anything with bleu cheese in it HAS to be good! lol Might be worth a try...hmmm...wonder what aisle that tomato soup would be in?
