Who May Find This Useful

Consultants looking for ideas and inspiration for cookware demos may find this discussion beneficial.

use a full stick of butterI always use a full stick of butter at my shows when making the garlic bites. Let the pan rest for 5 mins. before flipping into a s.a. plate. If you flip before, all the butter runs out. There is rarely anything left of the bites at the end of my show so don't worry about the calories, you aren't eating and everyone else seeems to inhale them. Make them rich, the next host will want you to make them for her guests!
 
Jodi:

I have been making the Chocolate Cherry Skillet cake at every party. It is the most amazing cake! It is so super easy to prepare and it looks great when it's done. Let me know if you try it.

Take Care!

Want to bump this up!
 
Ok - someone needs to post a detailed explanation of how to make these "pull aparts" - I have GOT to try them!!
 
They are so easy.

1 stick of butter
One clove garlic
One Container Pilsbury Grands
Dash of Pantry Italian Seasoning
1/2 ounce Parmesan Cheese (optional)

I will say this: The butter amount has been debated. A stick is a lot, but after you're done baking you can pour it on top. I tried it with half a stick and it came out VERY well done. So, my advice would be to try it as listed and then adjust future recipes.

Melt butter in small saute pan. Press clove of garlic and saute until tender. Cut each Grands biscuit into quarters. Put in pan, saute/mix a minute. This can get messy. I use two mix n scapers to mix. Cover with dash or two of seasoning and top with cheese (if desired). Bake in pan in oven at 375 for 18-20 minutes. Using scraper, empty pull aparts onto SA piece.

Amazing!
 
Thanks Anne!
 
You're very welcome. This is one of my favorites to do for a show. I time it that its baking when the guests arrive and then I place it on a dish and they can sample as we start. Its a great ice breaker.
 
okay I'm going to make these so I can try them. They sound so good and it is 10:30 at night and after reading this I'm hungry. Now say I want to make them with cinnamon and sugar how would I do that? And will my 10 in saute skillet work? I don't have the 8in one.
 
My Pull apart bread version of "Cinnabon"I usually make my own "Cinnabon" version of pull-apart bread.

I Follow the basic pull apart bread recipe-

1/2 or 1 stick of butter
1/4 to 1/2 cup of sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon of Cinnamon
1 package of Buttery Grands Biscuits
1/2 to 1 teaspoon of vanilla

I prepare everything link you normally would for the pull apart bread and cook it as directed. after I remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes I take about 1 -2 tablespoons of extra whipped vanilla icing/ frosting and spread it on top of the dish...OMG!!! I have gotten so many compliments and this dish is usually gone a few minutes after serving - EVERYONE loves it and the say it taste 10x better than Cinnabon...LOL

Enjoy!

Mike
 
I use2 tablespoons....and it works out great....

My recruitee uses a whole stick and yuck, is it like a heart attack in a pan...nice pan I might say, but still!:D
 
Mike: That sounds wonderful! Do you make it in the small saute pan?
 
I have been making these at the beginning of my shows also. Michael is right - the guests love them. They think you are a culinary genious!! :D

I use:
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 can Flakey Grands biscuits cut into 6th

350 for 22-25 min
flip on a SA med square and serve with bamboo tongs!

Makes for happy tummies! :)
 
Hi Anne,

Yes I do. I use the "Try me" Executive saute pan. I just got my 12" Skillet a few weeks ago and I'm gonna give them a try in there as well as the Pineapple Upside down cake. I love the Executive cookware. Makes me feel like a Pro...lol

Can't wait to get my hands on the New Products too, going to cut like a PRO!

Mike
 
Just wondering how you do the "Cinnabon" pull apart bread Michael was talking about. Do you mix everything in the saute pan and then toss the biscuits like the garlic bites? Sorry if this is a dumb question but they sound awesome and I want to try them.
 
I did the pull apart bread on Saturday in the 8" skillet and sold 2 family skillets as a result! I did the cinnamon/apple (but I left out the apple and used raisins instead). I melted the butter in the large batter bowl and then added the sugar and cinnamon to melt the sugar a little, stirred with the skinny scraper and then added the raisins. I then cut up the biscuits with the kitchen shears into the batter bowl, stirred and then dumped it all in the skillet. Bake until it is really brown so it cooks in the center. Not really the way the recipe says to do it, but this is what seemed easiest to me. Everyone LOVED them.

Try this one:
1/2 stick butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 bar dark chocolate
1 small jar raspberry jam

Melt the butter, then add cinnamon and vanilla. Quarter biscuts and toss in butter mixture. Chop dark chocolate in food chopper and sprinkle on top and scoop a few 1/2 scopps of jam with the small scoop. Bake as usual and OMG, yum. I like this because it shows two pantry items, vanilla and cinnamon and more product.
 
Yummie your making me hungry !!!
