Absolutely Deep Dark Chocolate Fudge Biscuits

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 40 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 10-11 Nov 2007

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
7 1/2 ounces plain flour
2 ounces cocoa powder
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon salt
8 ounces plain chocolate -- broken
into 16 pieces
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate -- broken
into 8 pieces
12 ounces light brown sugar
6 ounces unsalted butter
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 1/2 pound chocolate chips

[Note: instead of the unsweetened chocolate, I just used an extra 4 ounces
of plain chocolate and got perfect results. I think as long as you're using
*really* good plain chocolate, say at least 55% cocoa solids, it doesn't
really matter!] Preheat the oven to 325F/170C/gas 3.

Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Set
aside.

Heat 1 inch of water in the bottom half of a double boiler over medium
heat. Place the plain and the unsweetened chocolates in the top half of the
double boiler. Tightly cover the top with cling film and allow to heat for
12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir until smooth. Keep at room
temperature until needed.

Place the soft light brown sugar and butter in the bowl of an electric
mixer fitted with a paddle. Beat on medium for 1 minute. Scrape down the
bowl and beat on high for an additional 30 seconds. Scrape down the bowl.
Add the eggs, one at a time, while beating on medium, and stopping to
scrape down the bowl after incorporating each addition. Add the vanilla
essence and beat on medium for 30 seconds. Add the melted chocolate and
beat on low for 10 seconds more. Scrape down the bowl and beat for an
additional 30 seconds. Add the sifted flour, cocoa powder, bicarbonate of
soda, salt and the chocolate chips; beat on low until thoroughly combined -
about 20 to 30 seconds. Remove the bowl from the mixer and mix thoroughly
with a rubber spatula.

Portion 6 to 8 biscuits per baking sheet by dropping 2 level tablespoons of
batter per biscuit onto each of 2 non-stick baking sheets. Place the
biscuits on the top and middle shelves of the preheated oven and bake for
18 to 22 minutes, rotating the sheets from top to bottom about halfway
through the baking time. Allow the biscuits to cool for 5 to 6 minutes on
the baking sheets. Transfer the biscuits to a cooling rack to thoroughly
cool before storing in a sealed plastic container. Repeat this procedure
until all the biscuits have been baked.

Makes 3 to 3 1/2 dozen biscuits

Alfredo-style Sauce with Fettuccine - Low-Fat

Recipe By : Skinny Italian Cooking by Ruth Glick and Nancy Baggett
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 10-11 Nov 2007

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 medium onion -- finely chopped
2 small garlic cloves -- minced
1/4 cup dry white wine -- or dry sherry
1 tablespoon butter
or non-diet canola or safflower oil margarine
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 3/4 cups lowfat 1% milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese -- (3 ounces)
[preferably freshly grated]
1/2 cup grated nonfat Parmesan cheese topping -- (2 ounces)
1/2 cup nonfat sour cream
1/4 cup chopped chives
or thin-sliced scallion tops
plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
Salt -- to taste (optional)
10 ounces non-egg fettuccine noodles -- (10 to 12 ounces)
cooked according to package directions

In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, combine onions, garlic, wine and butter.
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, 6 to 8 minutes or until onions
are tender. If liquid begins to evaporate, add a bit of water.

In a cup, combine cornstarch with 1/4 cup milk; stir to mix well. Stir
remaining 2 1/2 cups milk into skillet. Bring liquid in pan to a boil over
medium-high heat. Stir in cornstarch mixture, stirring until mixture
thickens. Boil 1 minute, stirring. Reduce heat so that sauce does not boil.

Stir in Parmesan cheeses. Stir in sour cream, mixing well and whisking if
necessary to smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup chives, Worcestershire sauce, mustard
and pepper, and stir well. Add salt, if using. Cook over very low heat an
additional 2 to 3 minutes until flavors are well blended. Arrange
fettuccine on a serving platter. Top with sauce. As an alternative, serve
individual portions of sauce over pasta. Garnish with additional chives, if
desired.

Yields 4 servings.

Formatted by Chupa Babi in MC: 05.30.07

The Authors say: "Yes, it's possible to reduce the fat content of
fettuccine Alfredo by using 1-percent fat milk, nonfat sour cream and
nonfat Parmesan cheese topping."

Apple Upside-Down Gingerbread

Recipe By : Cook's Illustrated and Doris Guyer
Serving Size : 16 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 10-11 Nov 2007

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Apple Topping:
1 stick unsalted butter -- (1/4 pound) melted
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
5 tart apples -- peeled, halved,
cored and sliced thin

Gingerbread:
4 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour -- sifted
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon table salt
4 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground allspice
2 teaspoon Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 sticks unsalted butter -- (1/2 pound) melted
then cooled to room temperature
1 1/2 cups Brer Rabbit black molasses
1 1/2 cups Splenda
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup milk

Granny Smith or Jonathan apples are perfect for this recipe.

For stronger ginger flavor, replace the dried ginger with 6 tablespoons
grated peeled fresh ginger and 6 tablespoons minced crystallized ginger.

1. For the Apple Topping: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven
to 350F. Grease sides of 11 by 7-inch baking pan. Pour melted butter into
pan; spread brown sugar evenly over pan bottom. Arrange apple slices,
overlapping slightly upon brown sugar mixture.

2. For the Gingerbread: Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, ginger,
cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice and cocoa in medium bowl.

3. Beat butter, molasses and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on
medium speed until combined. Beat in eggs until incorporated. Gradually add
buttermilk and milk until combined.

4. Add dry ingredients to liquid; beat on medium speed until batter is
smooth, about 1 minute, scraping down sides of bowl with rubber spatula as
needed. Do not overmix. (If using fresh ginger, batter will be lumpy.) Pour
batter over apple slices.

5. Bake until top springs back when lightly touched and edges have pulled
away from the pan sides, 50 to 60 minutes. Set pan on wire cake rack and
let cool for 5 minutes; invert onto serving plate, cut into squares and
serve.

Notes ~ Made by Doris Guyer on November 17, 2007. We inverted the cake on a
large, plastic cutting board which worked fine. The family all gave it rave
reviews. It was a very moist, luscious cake that had a sweet-savory flavor.

The original recipe came from Cook's Illustrated. Doris substituted white
whole wheat flour for unbleached all-purpose flour and Splenda for
granulated sugar. This version is a "doubled" version of the original.
