Bulls Eye Recipes

Steps:

• Place 20 ounces black dough between two 12-by-14-inch pieces of parchment. Roll out to a 7-by-12 inch rectangle, about 1/3-inch thick. Repeat with 20 ounces white dough. Chill both rectangles at least 30 minutes.
• Place 12 ounces black dough between two 12-by-14-inch pieces of parchment. Roll out to a 4 3/4-by-12-inch rectangle. Repeat with 12 ounces white dough. Chill at least 15 minutes.
• Place 6 ounces black dough on a clean work surface. Roll into a 12-inch-long log, about 3/4 inch in diameter. Repeat with 6 ounces white dough. Wrap in parchment. Chill at least 15 minutes.
• Remove top piece of parchment from the smaller black rectangle. Unwrap white log, and place lengthwise on black rectangle. Using bottom piece of parchment for support, wrap black dough around the white log, pressing with fingers to seal seam. Roll log back and forth to smooth seam.
• Repeat step four with the black log and the smaller rectangle of white dough.
• Remove the top piece of parchment from the larger white rectangle. Place white log wrapped in black dough lengthwise on the white rectangle. Using bottom piece of parchment for support, wrap white dough around log, pressing with fingers to seal seam. Roll log back and forth to smooth seam.
• Repeat step six with the black log wrapped in white dough and the larger rectangle of black dough. Wrap both logs in parchment. Chill 1 hour.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Remove parchment from logs, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds; place on sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
• Bake cookies until barely golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Bake or freeze remaining dough. Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar with hands to form a smooth stiff dough. Shape into balls using 2 teaspoons of dough for each ball. Place on prepared pan, and refrigerate.
• Melt shortening and chocolate together in a metal bowl over a pan of lightly simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth, and remove from heat.
• Remove balls from refrigerator. Insert a wooden toothpick into a ball, and dip into melted chocolate. Return to wax paper, chocolate side down, and remove toothpick. Repeat with remaining balls. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Generously butter a nonstick rimmed baking sheet. Butter bread on both sides. With a cookie cutter or drinking glass, cut a 2 1/2-inch round from center of each bread slice. Place slices and rounds on sheet and bake until golden, 6 minutes. Remove from oven and flip bread.
• Carefully crack 1 egg into center of each slice. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny, 8 to 9 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through (sprinkle with cheese, if using, during last 30 seconds of baking). Serve with desired toppings.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a 2-qt sauce pan. Mix well.
• Simmer over very low heat for 15-minutes, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or pan to medium-high heat, and butter both sides of a slice of bread. I find it it easiest for cleanup (and to avoid buttering the rest of my kitchen) to do this step on a sheet of wax paper.
• With a biscuit cutter, the rim of a glass, or just a knife, cut a large circle out of the center of the bread.
• Place the bread and the bread circle in the heated pan (the butter should make a "sizzling" sound).
• Once you hear the "sizzling" sound, crack the egg directly into the pan, in the middle of the piece of bread from which you cut the circle.
• When the white of the egg is not see-through anymore, turn the egg/bread combo over. Turn the bread circle over also.
• Cook until bread is brown on both sides (like toast) and egg in the middle of egg/bread combo is over-easy (the white is cooked on both sides while the yolk is liquid).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add and mix in 1 egg at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl between each addition. Add the vanilla and mix. Whisk together the flour and salt in a medium bowl and add to the butter mixture, beating until the flour is just incorporated.
• Separate the cookie dough into 3 bowls as follows: a small amount for the center of the bullseye then divide the rest equally for the other 2 rings. Add 2 to 3 drops of one of the food colors to the small bowl, stirring to distribute the color evenly. Repeat with a different food color for each of the remaining bowls of dough.
• Place each colored dough in separate piping bags, making sure to put the smallest amount of dough in the bag with the smallest tip. Starting with the outside of each bullseye, pipe 3-inch rings onto the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Use the next bag to pipe the second colored ring inside the first ring, then use the third bag to fill in the center of the bullseye. If the edges of the piped rings overlap, use a bit of water to moisten a finger and smooth out the uneven section.
• Freeze the bullseyes for 10 minutes before baking. Then bake until the cookies are set but not yet golden brown, about 11 minutes, rotating the pan 180 degrees at the halfway mark.
• Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.

Steps:

• Mix the peanut butter mixture together well.
• Form into small balls and put in refrigerator over night.
• When ready to dip, use a double boiler and melt the wax, chocolate bits, and the squares of chocolate together.
• Using a toothpick (I sometimes use a fork so I don't have to get rid of the toothpick hole), insert it into the middle of the ball and dip in the chocolate mixture about 7/8 of the way, leaving a small eye at the top.
• Put on wax paper to cool.

Steps:

• Peel and cut onion into four 1/4-inch-thick slices; reserve remaining onion for another use.
• Shape meat loosely into four 1/2-inch-thick patties; sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Press 1 onion slice into the center of each patty and shape meat around onion until top of onion is flush with the surface of the meat patty.
• Place patties, onion side up, on grill.
• Grill for 10 to 13 minutes or until meat is done, carefully turning once halfway through grilling with a spatula once meat firms up. Turn carefully to keep onion intact.
• Lightly brush kale leaves with oil and add to grill the last 1 to 1 1/2 minutes of grilling.
• To serve, place 2 kale leaves on each bread slice. Top with a slice of cheese, then the meat patty, onion side up.

Steps:

• Place each rack of ribs on separate large sheet heavy-duty foil; rub with coffee grounds. Wrap ribs in foil. Refrigerate 1 hour.
• Heat charcoal grill to medium heat. Arrange coals evenly on each side of charcoal grate. Place wrapped ribs on center of grate; cover with lid. Grill 2 hours.
• Remove ribs from foil; discard foil. Place ribs, meat-sides down, on grill grate; brush with 1/4 cup sauce. Grill 10 min., turning after 5 min. and brushing with remaining barbecue sauce.
