Angel Puff Recipes

ANGEL WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone sheet.
• Pulse the granulated sugar and lemon zest in a food processor until fine and fragrant.
• Lay 1 of the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured work surface. Brush the sheet with about half of the butter and sprinkle with half of the lemon-sugar. Lightly press sugar into the pastry with a rolling pin. Place the other pastry sheet on top, brush with the remaining butter and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Carefully roll the pastry out into a 12-inch square, about 1 1/8-inch thick. Trim uneven edges with a pizza cutter or a knife to make a perfect square.
• Starting on the closest edge, roll the pastry up into a cylinder but stop at the mid point of the dough. Roll the pastry up on the opposite side so it looks like an old-fashioned scroll. Adjust the rolls so they are even and meet in the center. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 20 minutes.
• Slice the roll, crosswise, with a serrated knife into 1/4-inch thick pieces and lay on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the cookies soften, about 10 minutes. Working quickly and efficiently, remove the cookies from the oven--if they have lost their shape, gently roll them back together. Let cool on the pan for a minute to set. Turn them with a spatula (take care to keep the shape) sprinkle with the yellow sugar and return to the oven. Continue to bake until golden brown, about 15 more minutes. Transfer cookies to a rack, sugary sides up, to cool. Serve.
• Store cookies in a tightly sealed container for up to 3 days.

ANGEL FOOD CANDY

Steps:

• Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, corn syrup and vinegar. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Heat, without stirring, to 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads.
• Remove from heat and stir in baking soda. Pour into prepared pan; do not spread. (Mixture will not fill pan.) Allow to cool completely.
• In the microwave or over a double boiler, melt coating chocolate, stirring frequently until smooth. Break cooled candy into bite-sized pieces and dip into melted candy coating. Let set on waxed paper. Store tightly covered.

ANGEL POOP

Steps:

• Line a large baking sheet with waxed paper.
• Place the white chocolate chips into a large microwave-safe bowl, and heat on low power for 30-second intervals until the chocolate chips have begun to melt.
• Stir the chips until smooth.
• Pour the corn puff snacks into the bowl with the white chocolate, and stir to coat the puffs with the chocolate.
• Spread the mixture out onto the waxed paper-lined baking sheet and allow to set, about 30 minutes.
• Break the mixture up into bite-size pieces to serve.

PECAN OR ANGEL SLICES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 9-inch baking pan lined with foil.
• Beat the butter, granulated sugar, 1 egg yolk, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla in a medium bowl until well blended.
• Stir in 3/4 cup of flour until well blended and smooth.
• Press the dough evenly into the baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, beat 2 eggs, light brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla in a medium bowl until well combined.
• Stir in nuts and coconut.
• Spread the mixture evenly over the hot baked crust. Bake until the top is firm and golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out slightly wet, 20 to 25 minutes. Set the pan on a rack. If desired, while the bars are still warm, spread evenly with Lemon Glaze (recipe below).
• Let stand until the bars are cool and the glaze is set.
• For lemon glaze:
• Beat confectioners' sugar, juice, and vanilla together until smooth.
