Floating Four Leaf Clovers Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbles begin to form, but the milk is not simmering. Stir in the sugar, shortening, and salt; set aside until cooled to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C). Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and set aside for 5 minutes.
• Beat the egg in a mixing bowl, then stir in the yeast and milk. Stir in half of the flour until no lumps remain, then stir in the remaining flour a little at a time until a smooth dough forms. Place into a greased bowl, turn once to grease the top, cover, and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours.
• Grease a 12 sectioned muffin tin. Deflate the dough, and place onto a well-floured work surface. Divide the dough into 36 pieces, and form into balls. Place 3 balls into each muffin cup. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Unroll and remove paper from 8 Betty Crocker Fruit Roll-Ups snacks. Cut 2 four leaf clover shapes out of each snack using 2 1/2-inch four leaf clover cookie cutter. Place 1 cutout on cutting surface. Brush lightly with water.
• Place 1 Gushers snack on center of 1 cutout. Place second cutout on top. Press edges to seal. Place on serving platter. Repeat 7 more times.

Steps:

• Warm the milk until lukewarm.
• In a large bowl pour in the lukewarm milk, stir in sugar, the 4 tablespoons of softened butter and the yeast. Let stand for 15 minutes.
• Add eggs and salt to the mixture.
• Stir in 4 cups of flour a little at a time adding more if needed to get a rough dough texture.
• Knead dough until smooth (about 5-10 minutes).
• Place the dough into a clean bowl coated with shortening; cover with tea towel and let sit in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 1/2 hours).
• Coat 2 muffin pans with shortening.
• Punch down raised dough and roll into balls, sized to fit 3 into each cup in the pan. Make a few to fit four balls in the pan for the 4-leaf clovers.
• Cover the pans with a tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400F; brush the rolls with the melted butter and bake about 20 minutes until lightly browned.
• Let cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Pour soda equally into 12 muffin cups 1/2 way full. Freeze until solid.
• Place four quarters of lime onto frozen soda as follows; Rotate each quarter slice clockwise until one end of outer edge touches the center. Place over frozen soda. To make stem, place one peel at one corner of the clover.
• Splash a little bit of cold water onto the clovers just enough to cover them (this helps them to freeze to the soda). Freeze until solid.
• Remove clovers and place in a ziploc freezer bag. Make as many more as needed, adding to punch bowl before serving.
