Add egg and vanilla, and beat to combine. Alternate adding flour mixture and buttermilk in small batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
  3. 3 Mix until smooth, occasionally scraping sides of bowl. With a tablespoon, spoon mounds of batter 2 inches apart onto baking sheets and form into football shapes. SmartGrid® lines represent 1 inch squares to help you with precise spacing.
  4. 4 Bake 15 minutes or until tops are puffed and cakes spring back when touched. Transfer to a rack and cool completely.
  5. 5 In medium bowl, with mixer on high speed, beat together butter, powdered sugar, marshmallow cream, and vanilla until smooth, about 3 minutes. Makes about 1 1/2 cups of filling. Spread a rounded tablespoon of filling on flat sides of half the cakes. Top with other cakes.
  6. 6 To decorate your whoopie pies to look like footballs, cut two pieces of Reynolds KITCHENS® Plastic Wrap about 15 inches wide and criss-cross them over each other to form a large X. In the center of the X, scoop all of your remaining filling and then gather the sides to push the filling down into a ball. Very carefully poke a small hole into the bottom of this ball so that you can pipe the football laces onto your whoopie pies. The thickness of your laces will depend on how big of a hole you poke into the plastic wrap.

Instructions

  1. 1 To make the bottom crust, stir the flour and white sugar together in a bowl until well-combined. Rub the unsalted butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; sprinkle with cold water, a couple of tablespoons at a time, mixing the dough together lightly with a fork until it barely holds together.
  2. 2 Form the dough into a ball and roll it out to a circle about 1/8-inch thick. Gently ease the dough into an 8-inch pie dish. Cut off any excess pastry with a knife. Finish the edge of the crust by gently pressing the tines of a fork into the dough all the way around the edge of the pie dish. Set the crust aside.
  3. 3 To make the pie filling, stir the apples, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and lemon juice together in a large bowl; set aside.
  4. 4 To make the topping, mix 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of softened butter, and the superfine sugar together in a bowl until you have a sticky, moist dough.
  5. 5 To assemble the pie, cover the bottom of the pie crust with a light, even layer of graham cracker crumbs. Fill the pie with the apple mixture, piling it up in a mound shape. Pinch off pieces of the topping mixture, flatten them a little with your fingers, and dot them at random all over the top of the filling, covering as much of the filling as possible.
  6. 6 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  7. 7 Tear off 2 30-inch-long pieces of parchment paper and place them in a cross shape on a work surface. Place the filled pie in the center of the two pieces of parchment, bring the paper ends up over the pie and fold and staple the parchment paper over the pie to completely enclose and seal in the pie. The paper should not touch the top or sides of the pie. Place the parchment-wrapped pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
  8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Don't peek inside the parchment paper while baking. Remove from the oven, carefully tear the parchment paper away from the pie, and let cool; serve warm. Store leftovers in refrigerator.

  2. 2 Spread butter on the inside of the buns and toast on the flat-top until lightly browned. Set aside.
  3. 3 Form meat into 8 loosely-packed balls, 2 ounces each. Do not pack the meat tightly, as this will prevent it from smashing properly. Place each ball on the hot flat-top, cover with a piece of parchment (to prevent sticking to the spatula; re-use each parchment square on a second patty) and immediately smash down to a 1/4 inch thickness using 2 stiff, sturdy spatulas that are criss-crossed to get proper leverage as you press down. You may also use the bottom of small skillet. Sprinkle the meat with salt.
  4. 4 Grill for about 45 seconds, until the edges are dark brown and the centers are a light pink color. Using a bench scraper or firm spatula, gently scrape up the patties, flip over and immediately cover 4 of them with cheese. Grill an additional 15 to 20 seconds; stack the plain patties over the cheese-covered patties so you have 4 stacks. Move each stack to a bun and serve with your favorite toppings.

  5. 5 Dust a clean work surface with flour. Fold dough briefly with floured hands to get rid of any air pockets. Shape into a round or oval loaf depending on the shape of your slow cooker.
  6. 6 Sprinkle some of the sesame seeds on the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle remaining seeds generously all around the loaf. Place dough in the slow cooker and cover with the lid.
  7. 7 Cook on High for 2 hours. Lift the lid a couple of times during cooking to release the steam. An instant-read thermometer inserted deep into the loaf should read between 200 and 210 degrees F (93 to 99 degrees C). The surface of the bread should be dry and no longer spongy. Remove the loaf and tap the bottom; it should sound hollow.
  8. 8 Remove loaf from the slow cooker. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before cutting, at least 1 hour.

  2. 2 Combine yeast and sugar in a medium bowl; add water and stir once. Let stand until yeast has bloomed and bubbled up slightly, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, line the bottom and sides of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) with parchment paper that has been lightly coated with cooking spray.
  4. 4 Add the yeast mixture and oil to the flour mixture, and stir until incorporated and a shaggy, slightly sticky dough is formed. Add dough to the pot. Close and lock the lid; seal vent. Select Yogurt function; set timer for 4 hours.
  5. 5 Remove lid. Dough should be doubled in size, and will have tiny bubbles on the surface. Lift out dough using parchment paper. Turn dough onto a lightly floured sheet of parchment, and form into a ball. Sprinkle top dough ball lightly with flour, and cover with a kitchen towel. Allow to rest until slightly risen, 30 to 40 minutes.
  6. 6 While dough is resting, place a Dutch oven with a lid in the oven, and preheat to 450 degrees F (225 degrees C) for 30 minutes.
  7. 7 Carefully remove Dutch oven from the oven. Transfer in dough using parchment. Cut slits in the top. Cover and return to the oven. Bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake until golden brown and crusty, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer loaf to a cooling rack; let cool slightly before slicing.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. 2 Place morel mushrooms in a dry skillet over medium heat and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms release their juice and the juice evaporates, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Sprinkle halibut fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  4. 4 Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat and cook the halibut fillets until golden brown on the outside, about 2 minutes per side. Remove fish from skillet and set aside.
  5. 5 Cook and stir garlic scapes in the same skillet used to cook fish until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat and stir morel mushrooms and thyme with the garlic scapes until combined.
  6. 6 Fold a piece of parchment paper in half crosswise. Use scissors to cut a very large valentine-like heart shape out of the folded paper, as large as possible. Repeat with remaining parchment to make 4 large heart shapes.
  7. 7 Open the heart shapes; brush right sides of the hearts with canola oil.
  8. 8 Place 1/4 morel mushroom mixture in the left (unoiled) half of each heart. Place a halibut fillet on the mushroom mixture. Sprinkle fish with salt and black pepper.
  9. 9 Fold the oiled right half of the heart over the fish. Fold about 1/4 inch of parchment paper over, starting at the rounded end, and work your way down to the point, folding as you go. Fold the edge over a second time to enclose fish and mushrooms in a bundle with a double-folded, sealed edge.
  10. 10 Leave about 1/4 inch of the bottom point unfolded.
  11. 11 Use a straw inserted into the open bottom to blow air into the bundle, making it puff up like a small balloon. Twist the bottom closed to enclose the air.
  12. 12 Place parchment bundles on 2 baking sheets; don't let the bundles touch each other.
  13. 13 Bake in the preheated oven until fish is no longer translucent in the center, about 15 minutes.
  14. 14 To serve, plate each portion and carefully cut open the parchment to reveal the fish, mushrooms, and juices. Bundle will release hot steam when opened.
