Helens Onion Shortcake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Saute onions in butter.
• Pour onions into a large mixing bowl.
• Stir in sour cream, dill weed, salt and half the cheese.
• In a separate bowl, combine corn, milk, muffin mix and egg.
• Pour corn mixture into a 9 x 13 dish coated in cooking spray.
• Spread onion mixture over top.
• Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes.

Steps:

• For the shortcakes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk the heavy cream, sour cream and vanilla in a small bowl; refrigerate until ready to use. Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter; pulse until the mixture looks like fine meal. Pour in the chilled heavy cream mixture and pulse until just combined.
• Lightly flour a work surface and dump the dough onto it. Pat out the dough 1/2-inch thick. Cut out as many biscuits as you can with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Then pat the remaining dough out to 1/2-inch thick again. Cut more biscuits; you should get 12.
• Put 6 of the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with cream, then top each cream-brushed biscuit with one of the remaining biscuit rounds. (This makes it easier to split once they are baked.) Brush the top of each biscuit stack with more heavy cream and sprinkle 1 teaspoon granulated sugar on each biscuit.
• Bake the biscuits until golden and puffed, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
• Meanwhile, for the topping: Toss the strawberries and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar in a medium bowl.
• Just before serving, beat the heavy cream, sour cream, the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
• Split the shortcakes in half. Spoon half the cream on the bottom of the biscuits, top evenly with the strawberries and top with the remaining cream. Put each biscuit top on and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• 2. Butter a 2 1/2 quart baking dish. In a large skillet, melt the 1/2 cup butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until softened, about 5-6 min.
• 3. Remove from heat and stir in 4 oz (about 1 cup) of the cheese. Add the sour cream, dill and salt, stirring until just combined. Set aside.
• 4. In another bowl, lightly beat the egg. Stir in the cornbread mix, corn milk and Tabasco. Spread this mixture in the buttered baking dish. Add the cheese mixture, and top with the remaining shredded cheese.
• 5. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until top is golden brown and bubbly.
• 6. To make ahead, assemble without baking, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Bake for 40-45 min until golden and bubbly.

Steps:

• Place the cornmeal, baking powder, salt, egg and water into a bowl and stir to combine. Once mixed, stir in the corn. The mixture should be the consistency of pancake batter. Brush the lid or griddle with vegetable oil until shimmering. Pour enough batter onto the lid or griddle to form a 4 inch round, approximately 2 tablespoons. Depending on the size of your griddle or lid, you can cook more than 1 cake at a time. Cook until brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve immediately or transfer to a warm (200 degree F) oven until all of the cakes are done.
• Place a cast iron griddle over medium heat or prepare charcoal for cooking outdoors by heating coals in a chimney starter until hot and ashy.
• Cooktop: Place a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush with vegetable oil and heat until shimmering. Pour enough batter onto the skillet or griddle to form a 4-inch round, approximately 2 tablespoons. Depending on the size of your griddle or skillet, you can cook more than 1 cake at a time. Cook until brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve immediately or transfer to a warm (200 degrees F) oven until all of the cakes are done.
• Outdoor coals: Using a Dutch oven with feet, turn the oven upside down. Place 22 hot, ashy coals on the bottom of the inverted oven. Lay the lid upside down on top of the Dutch oven feet and over the coals and allow to heat for 10 minutes.
