Serves 2

Ingredients

2 c. Captain Crunch cereal 2 c. corn flakes
1 egg 1 c. milk
1 c. all-purpose flour 1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder ½ tsp black pepper
2 lbs chicken breast cut into 1 oz. cube Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. Coarsely grind or crush the two cereals & set aside.  Beat the egg with milk & set aside.
  2. Stir together the flour, onion & garlic powders & black pepper.
  3. Dredge the tenders in the flour, then the egg wash, then the cereal mixture.
  4. Either use a deep fryer to fry or pan fry the tenders on low until they are done.  Be careful not to turn the temperature up too high or the cereal will start to caramelize.

Chef’s Note: If you like more sweet taste, or less sweet, adjust the cereals to get the right level.  Don’t use olive oil for the frying; they don’t taste right.

Gingerbread Cookies

Ingredients

½ c. shortening 6 tsp water
½ c. sugar ½ c. unsulphered molasses
1 egg yolk 2 c. flour
1 tsp ginger 1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cloves (scant) 1 tsp finely ground black pepper
½ tsp nutmeg ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt
2 dashes cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. Cream the shortening, water & sugar together until light & fluffy. Add the molasses & egg yolk & mix until well blended.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. If using a stand mixer, use stir. The dough will be sticky. 
  3. DO NOT ADD MORE FLOUR REGARDLESS OF HOW TEMPTED YOU MAY BE!!! Too much flour will make the cookies tough. Form into 2 flat disks & put in the freezer for at least an hour or more. 
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  5. When the dough is cold enough to handle, roll it to about ¼” thick between 2 pieces of wax paper (the wax paper keeps you from having to use more flour). I roll mine a little thinner because I like a little crispness on the edges. 
  6. Gently press together the scraps into another disk & put back in the freezer until ready for use. Bake for 8-10 minutes on parchment lined cookie sheets. Cool on pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Cool completely before decorating.

Chef’s Note: I use shortening instead of butter or margarine because shortening is flavorless and doesn’t impact the spices. I think butter is best served in sugar cookies. If you decide to substitute butter or margarine for the shortening, omit the water from the recipe.
