1. In a large bowl, stir together 1 and half cups of flour, the potato flakes, and the yeast; set aside. In a small saucepan, heat and stir milk or water, sugar, butter or cooking oil, orange peel and salt just until warm. Add the flour mixture.

Place in a greased bowl and turn once to grease surface. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled (approximately 1 hour).
3. Punch dough down. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, lightly grease twenty four 2 and half inch muffin cups and set aside.
4. Divide dough into 24 equal portions; shape into balls. Place one ball into each prepared muffin cup. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until nearly doubled, say for about 30 minutes.
5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully invert rolls from muffin cups onto the wire rack. Let it cool slightly. Invert again onto a serving platter. Spoon over orange glaze. Serve warm.

Directions

1. To make this delicious cupcakes preheat your oven to about 350 degrees. Line your muffin pan with muffin liners.
2. Combine flour and baking powder in a bowl. Using a mixer, mix the sugar and ¼ cup margarine until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Add the egg and beat well. Add the aroma almond and the vanilla extract and mix. Now beat in a little at a time the flour mixture and the milk, alternating between these two ingredients.
3. Fill the liners with the batter, so they are about 2/3 full. Bake the cupcakes for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool.

Now reduce the heat and let it thicken, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool down so it’s not hot. Now add the cream a little at a time until you have a caramel that resembles the consistency of the honey. Add the salt and stir. Allow to cool. If you want, set aside 1-2 tablespoons of the caramel for decorating.
5. For the frosting, beat the salted butter together with the confectioners’ sugar with a mixer until you have a fluffy frosting. Add the caramel slowly little by little and mix until you have a smooth frosting.
6. Frost the cooled cupcakes and drizzle some of the set aside caramel. You can decorate with sea salt or almond slices. Enjoy!

Sunday Ranchero Breakfast Tostadas

Image via: Bon Appetit/Sara Forte

[ad#co-1]

Ingredients

Black Bean Mash

2 cups cooked black beans
1/4 to 1/2 cup light sour cream
2 green onions, white and green parts, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 slices cooked bacon, chopped (optional)

8 small corn tortillas
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
1 tablespoon coconut oil or unsalted butter
8 eggs
1 cup shredded white Cheddar cheese
2 avocados, peeled and thinly sliced
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, in wedges
Hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Directions

1. Whether cooking the beans from scratch or using canned, drain the beans and add them to a saucepan over low heat and warm through. Add about 1/4 cup tepid water, 1/4 cup of the sour cream, the green onions, cumin, salt, and pepper and mash with a potato masher or a large fork until coarsely mashed but not entirely smooth. Stir in the bacon. Taste for salt and pepper, add the remaining sour cream if you’d like the beans to be creamier, then turn off the heat and keep covered until needed.

2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush the tops of the tortillas with a bit of olive oil and lay them on a rimmed baking sheet (it’s fine if they overlap). Bake until just lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

3. Heat a large frying pan with the coconut oil over medium heat. Working in batches as necessary, gently break the eggs in the pan and cook sunny-side up or to your desired doneness, covering the pan if you like your yolks more cooked through. Build a tostada by topping a tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the bean mash, 1 egg, and an eighth of the cheese, avocado slices, and cilantro. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve garnished with a slice of lime and hot sauce to taste.

Flatten the filling into rectangle shape with the back of a spoon. Fold the bottom of the tortilla snugly over the filling, then fold in the left and right edges. Roll the burrito up to the top edge, forming a tight cylinder. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

4. Tightly wrap individual burritos with plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve. Heat in the microwave until hot, 3 to 4 minutes, before serving.
