Best Nothings Recipes

SWEET NOTHINGS

Steps:

• Instructions Preheat the oven to 400 F. Process the eggs and the sugar in the food processor for one minute. Add the salt and oil and process until combined. In a small bowl, mix the flour and baking powder. Add the flour and baking powder to the food processor in three additions, processing after each addition until fully combined. After the last addition, process until the dough is thick and very sticky. Take balls of super sticky dough and roll the dough in coarse sugar. (I used tablespoon-sized balls of dough for my cookies. This produced really large cookies. If you prefer smaller ones, use just a teaspoon of dough. The cookies rise quite a bit.) Once rolled in sugar, the dough will no longer be sticky and you can form it into a bow-tie by flattening it and giving it one twist in the middle. Place bow-ties onto a parchment- or silpat-lined cookie sheet. Leave a little space between cookies for them to grow. Bake for eight minutes. Reduce heat to 300 F and bake for another 12 minutes. Reduce heat to 170 F and bake for another 20 minutes. Turn off heat and leave in the warm oven for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and try to not eat them all before you let anyone else try them. http://www.cupcakeproject.com/2012/12/sweet-nothings-egg-kichel-for-chanukah.html

AMISH WEDDING NOTHINGS OR KNEE PATCHES

Steps:

• 1. Stir together cream, egg, salt and just enough flour to make an elastic dough. The first time I only needed 1-1/2 cups.
• 2. Divide dough into 8 balls for bigger pieces or more balls if you want smaller pieces. Roll out into very thin, flat circles. Cut slits across so it doesn't puff too much when fried.
• 3. After heating oil to 365 drop pieces 1 at a time and fry until golden then put out on paper towels to drain slightly.
• 4. While still very warm dust each side with powdered sugar. If not sweet enough you could use granulated sugar instead. This way is good with cinnamon in the sugar.

• Heat the shortening in a kettle over high heat. When the shortening reaches 365 degrees or when a piece of dough tossed in sizzles, put one piece of dough at a time into the kettle. Turn each piece over with two forks when you see a slight golden color. Take out and put on a plate covered with paper towels to drain. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top. Stack all of the Nothings on one plate and serve.
