• Mrs. Dash Shaker

    From Ed Vance@1:2320/105 to All on Monday, November 19, 2018 20:07:00
    Howdy!,

    We have tried to add Oil and Flour to Raw Fish and cook it on a George
    Foreman Grill.

    I suggested to try mixing Oil and Flour in a bowl and putting it on
    the Fish before cooking it in the Grill.

    That Didn't work.

    My Wife tried brushing Oil on the Fish and then use a Tablespoon to
    sprinkle Flour over it.

    As she was doing that I said to Her "Why not try putting Flour in an old
    Mrs. Dash container to sprinkle it on to the Oil covered Fish?".

    We will try that when we have used up the contents in the Mrs. Dash
    Bottle.

    Does anyone have any other idea of how to cover raw Fish with Flour before cooking it in a George Foreman Grill? Thanks!

    I don't put any flour on my grilled fish, just oil before and
    seasonings after.

    When I bake fish I do the opposite of what you're trying to do.
    Flour first, then oil. I take the fish which is generally wet enough
    to have flour stick to it and put it in an old empty bread bag, add
    flour (and seasonings) and shake until coated. Then I lay the
    fillets down in a lightly oiled pan and spray the top side with a
    bit of oil from my aerosol sprayer.

    Basically home made "shake and bake" and I use a refillable hand
    powered pump bottle instead of buying PAM baking spray.

    I hope that helps.



    Cheers

    Jim

    I don't see the point of flouring grilled fish. But I have done some
    seasoned breadcrumbs from time to time. And mayonnaise makes a pretty
    fair binder.

    My most common way of fixing fresh-caught fresh water fish is to pan
    fry with a cornmeal based coating.

    Have you been in my kitchen???? The only thing I do differently is to
    use an oiled wire "cooling rack" from my baking stuff to hold the fish
    above the bottom of the pan. Works for me.

    Do you have a small wire mesh strainer? Put some flour in that and shake
    that gently over the fish to cover it. It works like a flour sifter and
    will cover the fish pretty evenly without big clumps. I've done that to
    put a thin coat of flour on a kneading board for cinnamon rolls.

    Title: Cinnamon Sourdough Honey Buns
    Categories: American, Breakfast
    Cooktime: 1/2 hour
    Preparation Time: 15 minutes
    Link: https://www.butterforall.com/traditional-cooking-traditional-living/c

    -----------------------FOR THE SOURDOUGH BUNS:-----------------------
    200 g or 1 1/2 Cups Bread Flour
    200 g or 1 1/2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
    150 g or 1/2 Cup Sourdough Starter
    55 g or 4 Tablespoons Melted Butter
    200 g or 7/8 Cup Whole Milk (preferably raw)
    10 g or 1 Teaspoon Salt
    80 g or 1/4 Cup Honey

    ---------------------------FOR THE FILLING:---------------------------
    115 g or 1/2 Cup Softened Butter
    160 g or 1/2 Cup Honey
    20 g or 3 Tablespoons Ground Cinnamon



    The night before:


    Mix the sourdough bun ingredients together either by hand or in a
    stand mixer. Knead the dough in the bowl until it’s smooth and
    supple. It will be fairly sticky. Cover the bowl and let the dough
    rest overnight at room temperature.


    The next morning:


    Mix the filling ingredients together into a spreadable paste. Set the
    filling aside.

    Turn the dough out on to a floured surface and pat it into a circle.

    Roll the dough into a large rectangle about 1/3 inch thick. Use just
    enough flour so the dough won't stick to your work surface. Check
    the underside often to make sure it’s not sticking.

    Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1/2 inch of
    space around the outside.

    Starting at the top, roll the dough into a tight cylinder.

    Use a sharp knife to cut 20 equal sections.

    Place the buns into a buttered baking dish.

    Cover the buns and let them rise in a warm spot (I use the oven with
    the light on) until they have doubled in size.

    Preheat your oven to 350F.

    Bake the buns uncovered for 25-30 minutes. They will be golden brown
    and puffy when done.


    Serve the buns warm from the oven or reheat them in a low temperature
    oven when needed.


    Rating: 5/5 stars

    Preparation times do not include rising times. See instructions.


    This recipe uses a "rich sourdough". A rich dough or rich
    sourdough is a dough made with butter, milk and sometimes eggs. Rich
    doughs are more tender and flakey. They are typically used for sweet
    breads and desserts. Think of all the fun you can have with this
    dough! Add apple butter and pecans to celebrate fall or cranberries
    and walnuts for a winter celebration. The yummy combinations are
    endless!


    A reader recently commented that she tried to bake these buns on a
    sheet pan and that they spread out and became flat and crunchy. Please
    make sure you use an appropriate size pan so the buns will be touching
    each other after rising. This way they will stay soft and chewy!


    Stephen's notes:

    I have made these with a combination of two tablespoons of vital wheat
    gluten and the remainder 100% whole wheat pastry flour. I have been
    very successful in doing so.

    To make these non-dairy, substitute non-hydrogenated shortening or
    coconut oil for the butter. Use Almond milk in place of the whole
    milk.

    Substitute Maple syrup in place of the honey if desired.


    MMMMM

    ... There is my North and then there is North North.

    That Tagline had me to remember a story someone at work told me.

    A man shot a Bear.

    He walked two miles South, then turned East and walked a mile, then turned North and after walking two miles He tripped over the Bear.

    What was the color of the Bear?


    ---------------------------

    The Bear He shot was White, it was a Polar Bear.

    He shot it at the North Pole.

    A refinement on Steve's idea--I'll use a spoon to lightly tap the side
    of the strainer to get the flour to distribute as a thin coating.
    Sometimes shaking, even gently, will make the coating a bit too heavy or
    not get it distributed evenly enough.
