Banana desserts


Ingredients

  • Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups 2% milk
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large firm bananas
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped

Directions

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°. Line crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack until edges are golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
  • In a large saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt and milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into eggs; return all to pan. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer.
  • Remove from heat. Gently stir in butter and vanilla. Press plastic wrap onto surface of custard; refrigerate, covered, 30 minutes.
  • Spread half of the custard into crust. Slice bananas; arrange over filling. Pour remaining custard over bananas. Spread with whipped cream. Refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.
I have made banana cream pies and deep dish banana cream pies and they both depend on the amount of time after adding all the in ingredients to make the pastry filling. I cook it until it is very thick and you do have to wait and be patient with the process. It will burn on the bottom if you up the stove temperature. It must be done slowly. I use pillsbury pie crust. Make sure the bottom is cooked otherwise it will be uncooked. I do add a layer of bananas first, then half the pastry cream then another layer of banana and then the last of the pastry cream. It has to cool in the refrigerator for at least 6-8 hours. Put a little lemon juice, just a little, to sprinkle over the bananas to keep from during brown. It’s not a recipe for people in a hurry. That goes for all cream pies.
I usually use a graham cracker crust and pudding to make my banana cream pie and wanted to try one from scratch. This was easy and absolutely delicious. The pie was a hit. The custard was so delicious I was eating it out of the pan. My son liked it so much he asked if he could have some for breakfast because it had bananas in it. I let him this one time. I will make this again and again.
A delicious cream pie for sure, but too sweet for me. I'm adjusting my notes to use 1/2 cup sugar.
It states to use a 9" pie plate, so that's the size of crust. Although a pie dough crust is shown, I have not seen this pie on a buffet in anything other than a graham cracker crust. My step-grandmother loved using a coconut crust for hers.
My husband LOVES this pie rates it a ten. Said it was the best he has ever eaten.
You took a recipie with several important steps and tried to break it down into few steps. This has been the most ridiculous waste of time I have found on internet recipes ! You would be doing a good job if you were thorough. I’ll stay away from this website for a while.
The recipe doesn't say what kind or size of crust to use.
I've never made a banana cream pie and this one was delish! Some of the comments were leading me to believe It may be out of my league, but it was so simple. I doubled the recipe for my deep dish pie plate, used premade pie crust (cheetah), cut the sugar in half, used nonfat milk and loaded that baby with lots of bananas. Thickened up that heavy cream with a bit of powdered sugar and YUM! Use a quality pot to cook your filling, have patience when stirring to thicken and you will rock it out of the park.
The Best pie, banana cream pie EVER. So good I made it twice within 3 day and had to share with friends and family. LOVE Is in the custard. Yum is in the pie!
It takes patience to make custard. Follow the recipe and it makes the very best custard. I am never disappointed by this recipe.

Baked potato soup recipe


Ingredients

  • 4 large baking potatoes (about 12 ounces each)
  • 2/3 cup butter, cubed
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 6 cups 2% milk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 10 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Pierce potatoes several times with a fork; place on a baking sheet. Bake until tender, 65-75 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Peel and cube potatoes. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until smooth; gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in potatoes; heat through.
  • Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and green onions. Top servings with cheese and bacon.
I prepared the potatoes a day ahead and kept them in the frig. I made the soup the next day and it only took about 15 minutes.
This seems to be a slightly 'fancier' version of my dad's potato soup, only differences I see he cut potatoes & boiled, then cooked on stove on low for hours. he did the 'healthier' version, cutting the butter & mashing up some of the potato to thicken (towards the end). I do not think he added sour cream. but he did add celery! THAT "made" the soup, imo. and he likely added more pepper. I'm going to try it this way, then dad's. then decide how I need to 'adjust'. he also often used yellow cooking onions if he did not have any scallions. I'll epot back after evaluation. only I'm going to add some celery cut up fine, and maybe some celery seed to this version, as imo, celery in potato soup is 100% necessary.
TASTE WAS PASTY. Not enough flavor. Won't make it again without changing the recipe. Really bland
This is one o boy's favorite soups!!
I made it as directed and if you love pure potato soup taste, I think it's great. I used pink Himalaya salt, so I had to add more regular salt. I will try other additions when I make it again if I want more zip and zest. I would have loved to use California Baker Potatoes, but I can only get those when we're in North Carolina for the summer. They are the best tasting potato I have ever had. I don't see them in Florida and wonder where I can get them.
With the dairy and potatoes, this is probably not a good recipe to freeze.
Can this be frozen ahead of time.
Love this recipe. I made very little changes. I did add more potatoes than it called for as well as used Old cheddar cheese(and lots of it ) for that sharp cheddar flavor. I believe that any recipe is a starting block and we add to it or take away things to make it our own. This recipe need very little adjustment to make my family beg for seconds! And with 5 kids to please, when they all want more, i know I have hit the jackpot with this one!
This recipe is a good start but is really quite bland. I added more salt and pepper, 1 can of chicken broth, 1/4 c chopped onion, and about 1/3 cup of cheddar cheese. So many people gave this a 5 star rating but go on to tell about all the extra ingredients they added. That's not really an accurate rating of the original recipe.
This recipe is flawless! I have shared it so many times!

    Corn on the cob

    Corn on the cob

    It is not summer time until you have had corn around the cob. It's at each barbecue, it can make the right side dish to, umm, everything, and unless of course you are Michael Bubl, nobody idol judges you while gobbling one lower with hands. Fortunately, the summer time staple is fast and simple and does not even need picky toppings (unless of course you would like them — we've a lot of fun suggestions for how you can top corn). Only a pat of butter along with a generous seasoning of pepper and salt.

    1. Boil in VERY salty water.

    Make use of the largest pot you've, grow it with water, and salt it really well. Among the first training I recall at culinary school was my chef calling many of us over and getting us taste a spoonful of his pot of salted water. It sampled such as the sea and that he proudly mentioned that each single pot of salted water we use for boiling ANYTHING should taste like this. So you shouldn't be shy. Your corn will not taste salty within the finish — the salt will undoubtedly help enhance its flavor. Take the nicely salted water to some boil.

    2. Shuck it good.

    While your water is warming up, accomplish your corn husks. This could get untidy because of all of the small strings, therefore we recommend doing the work more than a rubbish bin. Beginning in the tip, grab all the husk and because the strings as you possibly can and rip lower. Repeat until all the husk is off. Chafe because the lingering strings as you possibly can. (You'll frequently observe that a hack for taking out the strings is by using a clear toothbrush — we do not purchase it.)

    3. Boil Them quick.

    Using tongs, drop your corn in to the boiling water. Return water to some boil, then prepare your corn for 5-10 minutes. Set a timer if you enable your corn overcook the kernels may become tough. The aim is juicy, crunchy kernels, not mushy dry ones.

    4. Butter up.

    Brush with melted butter, season with pepper and salt, and let summer time begin.

    Place a large saucepan water onto boil.

    Finely chop the 100g pancetta, getting first removed any rind. Finely grate 50g pecorino cheese and 50g parmesan and blend them together.

    Add 1 teaspoon salt towards the boiling water, add 350g spaghetti so when water returns towards the boil, prepare in a constant simmer, covered, for ten minutes or until al dente (just cooked).

    Squash 2 peeled plump garlic clove cloves using the blade of the knife, simply to bruise it.

    As the spaghetti is cooking, fry the pancetta using the garlic clove. Drop 50g unsalted butter right into a large fry pan or wok and, when the butter has melted, tip within the pancetta and garlic clove.

    Leave to prepare on the medium heat for around a few minutes, stirring frequently, before the pancetta is golden and crisp. The garlic clove has imparted its flavour, so remove it having a slotted spoon and discard.

    Keep your heat underneath the pancetta on low. Once the pasta is prepared, lift it in the water having a pasta fork or tongs and set it within the fry pan using the pancetta.

    Enchilada recipe

    Chicken enchiladas 2

    This simple chicken enchiladas recipe is undoubtedly an genuine Mexican food staple. Tender items of shredded chicken breast are rolled in flour tortillas and topped with a do-it-yourself enchilada sauce. The casserole is prepared until the cheeses is popular and melted.

    Poultry enchiladas is an easy casserole meal intended to feed a masses. Toned bright white beef is sauteed, shredded and tossed in strong seasoning for max flavoring inside of warmed flour tortillas. A realistic enchilada marinade is produced with a tomato based marinade, chipotle peppers, fowl broth, and seasonings to layer each and every serving.

    A combination of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses are scattered ahead, as well as the dish is cooked up until the cheese is warm and bubbly. It’s a satisfying food that could be prepped ahead of time for active weeknights or designed for unique activities like Cinco De Mayo.

    Steps To Make Chicken breast Enchiladas

    Poultry enchiladas really are a cooked casserole recipe made with 4 important parts.

    • Shredded Fowl:Sauteed chicken breast boobies are expert before and after cooking with a mix of cumin, paprika, sea salt, pepper, garlic herb, powder, and chili pepper.
    • Tortillas: 6-" rounded flour tortillas are casually charred within a pan or over the direct heat of the gasoline burner just for a few seconds to ensure they more pliable and include a smoky flavoring. Corn tortillas bring a gluten-cost-free replace.
    • Enchilada Sauce: It’s straightforward to make home made enchilada marinade. Crushed tomatoes, chipotle chilis in adobo sauce, chicken breast broth, cumin, chipotle chili natural powder for the smoky and somewhat hot and spicy flavoring.
    • Cheddar cheese: A mixture of 2 kinds of dairy products, distinct cheddar and Monterey Jack give the proper dissolved regularity.

    The heated tortillas get softly dipped from the enchilada sauce and after that filled up with poultry. Other components like diced green chilis or made corn can also be additional for more taste. The jammed tortillas are rolled and positioned seam aspect straight down within a baking meal, so they tend not to unlock when servicing.

    Right before cooking, two cups of cheddar cheese are layered on top of the enchiladas. In order to turn this plate before hand or come up with a fridge meal, this is actually the excellent spot to stop. The pan might be covered and refrigerated or frozen until finally ready to bake and assist.

    I’ve found out that within the casserole with foil and baking for approximately 20 minutes will keep the cheddar cheese very hot and dissolved. Preparing food without being covered to have an extended period dries out out your chicken breast and helps make the cheese more challenging in texture.

    These shredded poultry enchiladas are a family members-helpful meal everyone will devour! Serve some toppings around the area like sour product, tomatoes, cilantro, eco-friendly red onion, diced avocado or sliced jalapenos for added heating. Anytime I have left over roasted chicken breast, I prefer it in this particular dish to have an even faster meal.

    If you make this dish, make sure you tell me! Depart a remark, price it, and don’t overlook to tag a photo #jessicagavin on Instagram. I’d like to see what you come up with. Cheers, good friends!

    It’s essential to select the right kind of dairy products for casserole variety dishes. A better in moisture content company cheddar cheese, like cheddar and Monterey Jack, gives the ideal melt uniformity.

    Distinct cheddar is old longer and provides far more flavoring, whilst Monterey Jack is milder and slightly wonderful. The mix performs beautifully together for your enchiladas. Dust on gentle cheddar cheese like cotija or harder cheeses like Parmesan prior to serving.

    How to Make Alfredo Sauce:

    • The first task to earning Alfredo sauce would be to cozy your butter and cream inside a large saucepan above low temperature. You may allow it to simmer (although not boil) for roughly 2 moments.

    The Parmesan will thicken this marinade up. Whether it isn’t very dense adequate, permit the sauce to face for two-3 moments before helping.

This recipe has been perfected over the years from my Mom (who is literally the best cook on the entire planet! ).
    I cook these oven ribs often because they are definitely a family favorite! We make them two ways, I love mine all sticky with barbecue sauce… and my husband likes his with salt and pepper! You can do both ways at the same time!
    Before grilling, we always cook our ribs slowly to make them tender… often people BOIL their ribs. Boiling ribs will make all their succulent flavor seep out into the water making them flavorless! Try this method below and you will NEVER go back to boiled ribs again!

    How to Cook Ribs in the Oven

    Baby Back (or Pork Back Ribs) are the best choice, they cook to tender perfection. Although the cost is slightly more, this is one place I feel is worth it. In this recipe, the ribs are roasted low and slow to get the most melt in your mouth tender meat. Before cooking




  • Rinse your ribs in cold water and dab dry,


    1. Peel the thin silvery skin off the back. (They often have small bone shards).
    2. Add your rib rub and massage into the meat.
    3. Place meat down and cover with onion and garlic.
    4. Seal and bake at a low temperature until tender.
    5. Grill or broil to finish. If they are not tender, they need MORE time,

    After roasting. After a couple of hours, I pull a little piece off to test. Add another 20-30 minutes if it’s not melt in your mouth tender. If they are ready ahead of time, you can turn the oven off and let them sit for up to 1 hour if you don’t open the oven.

    How Long to Cook Ribs in the Oven

    My preferred method is a low temperature for a longer period of time. I most often cook baby back ribs in the oven at 275°F for about 2-2.5 hours.
    If you’re looking to cook ribs quickly, Instant Pot Ribs are a great option. They come out tender and delicious and cook in about 25 minutes!

    Grilling is one of the best ways I know of to cook cauliflower. It's also one of the easiest. The only part of the job that's even remotely tricky is breaking down the cauliflower.
    I like to trim off the remove and stem as many of the leaves as possible, and then go around the bottom using the point of my knife to remove whole florets from the stalk. Any huge florets can be halved or even quartered so that they are about bite-sized.

    It's best if you slice down the center of the stem of the floret and then gently break it apart rather than slicing all the way through. Smaller florets can be left intact.
    Chili powder adds a bit of a kick (but be careful not to confuse chili powder with cayenne pepper, which is much hotter), or you could substitute smoked paprika.
