Variations Combine 1/2 CU cooked spinach with eggs before Step 8.

Notes PREPARE PASTA DOUGH

3. Put flour in a large mixing bowl (or on counter)
4. Create a depression in the middle
5. Separate whites from 3 of your eggs.
6. Crack and mix 3 eggs, 3 extra yolks and 1 TBL EVOO
7. Pour into depression
8. Mix using fingers, kneading until homogenous and consistent

Instructions for ATLAS PASTA MACHINE

– Add water if necessary, but not too much at a time
– If it gets too wet, add a sprinkle of flour to dry
– A good mixture should never stick to your fingers
9. Pour onto floured surface and continue to knead until well mixed
– When the right consistency, wrap in plastic and chill 1 hour

PROCESSING THE PASTA DOUGH

10. Set machine to Position 1 (widest setting)

13. When dough has assumed a regular shape, reduce to Position 2
14. Reduce Postion by ONE NUMBER and continue until dough has the thickness you desire. Position 9 is approx 0.2 mm

15. With a knife, cut dough into strips about 10 inches long
16. Move handle to cutting rollers
17. Turning slowly, feed dough through cutting rollers

NOTE: IF DOUGH WILL NOT CUT, IT IS TOO SOFT.
If this happens, sprinkle with flour and go back to Step 9

NOTE: IF DOUGH WILL NOT FEED, IT IS TOO DRY.
If this happens, sprinkle with water and go back to Step 9

15. Let pasta dry on table cloth 1 hour
16. Bundle or wind into nests for storage
17. Let dry overnight

DO NOT USE WATER TO CLEAN YOUR MACHINE. WIPE OFF ONLY WITH A BRUSH OR WOODEN ROD (CHOPSTICK)

2 eggs

5. Top with corriander and basil

Huevos rancheros for more than four people can be time consuming if you are frying eggs and making up each dish separately. So here are layered softened corn tortillas, ranchero sauce, cheese and eggs to be baked in the oven.

Grease casserole pan bottom and sides
Essentially you are creating a lasagna

Corn tortillas
Layer of refried beans
Layer of pork or beef
Sliced tomatoes
Green chilies
Fried eggs over the top
Sprinkled with cheddar and provalone
Bake 350 degrees for about 10 minutes

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 large egg
Granulated sugar (for coating cookies)

1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. In a separate large bowl, use a wooden spoon to cream the butter and brown sugar until smooth.

2. Stir in the molasses and egg and mix until well blended. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until combined.

3. Cover the dough and refrigerate it for at least 1 to 2 hours or until firm enough to roll into balls. Heat the oven to 375.

4. Use a tiny spoon (we used one from a child’s tea set) to scoop the dough out of the bowl, then roll it with your fingertips into balls that are about 1/2 inch in diameter. Roll the balls in a shallow bowl of granulated sugar.

5. Place the balls on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between the cookies. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until the cookies are crinkled and set.

6. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Using a metal spatula, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat until all the dough is used.

7. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month and at room temperature for up to 1 week. Makes about 10 dozen Lucky Pennies.

8. KIDS’ STEPS: Kids can mix up the dough, shape it into balls, and roll the balls in sugar.

SOUR CREAM NOTES, TIPS, HINTS, AND INFO

Sour cream is commonly used for dips, dressings, and sauces or simply “plain” as a condiment.

Never boil sour cream because it will curdle immediately. To add sour creme to a hot liquid, remove the liquid from the heat source (or turn the heat to very low) and add the cream while stirring gently.

Avoid using sour cream in dishes with a lot of salt, as the salt may cause curdling. Also dishes made with sour cream do not freeze well

Baking With Sour Cream
Cakes using acidic ingredients such as sour cream may development a metallic flavor if baked and stored in an aluminum pan. To prevent this reaction from taking place, line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper before adding the batter to the pan.

History and Use
Sour milk products including yogurt, kefir, kumiss, and sour cream have been used for centuries by eastern cultures including the Arabs and the Bulgars. Throughout history popularity spread to Germany, as well as Eastern and Central Europe and to the Americas as well.

Sour Cream Substitutions and Equivalents

Equivalents for 1 CU Sour Cream:

> Dips: 1 CU cottage cheese plus 1/4 CU yogurt or buttermilk, briefly whirled in a blender.
> Dips: 6 OZ cream cheese plus 3 TBL milk, briefly whirled in a blender.
> Lower fat: 1 CU low-fat cottage cheese plus 1 TBL lemon juice plus 2 TBL skim milk, whipped until smooth in a blender.
> Lower fat: 1 can chilled evaporated milk whipped with 1 tsp lemon juice.

Notes

This cannot be made and used in the same day. If you do not have time to make your own sour cream, use the Substitutions and Equivalents suggestions.

Plan ahead to give the sour cream 24 hours to thicken up and chill. Time is required for the chemical reaction to produce your sour cream.

There are many substitutes for sour cream, depending on the recipe and your specific needs. Yogurt is an excellent substitute for sour cream in most recipes, but keep in mind it is thinner in texture. Thicken yogurt by draining through a cheesecloth-lined sieve over a bowl in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
