Wienerbites Recipes

WIENERS AND BEANS

Steps:

• In a saucepan filled with water, boil the frankfurters for about 5 minutes.
• In another saucepan, combine barbeque sauce, dry mustard and baked beans. Stir and heat.
• When the frankfurters are cooked, combine them with the sauce mixture for about 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through.

WIENERSCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Place each veal cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap, and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until about 1/4 inch thick. Dip in flour to coat.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the Parmesan cheese, eggs, parsley, salt, pepper, nutmeg and milk. Place bread crumbs on a plate. Dip each cutlet into the egg mixture, then press in the bread crumbs to coat. Place coated cutlets on a plate and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the breaded cutlets until browned on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a serving platter, and pour the pan juices over them. Garnish with lemon slices.

WIENER WINKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Take 1 slice of bread and spread 1 teaspoon of butter on one side. Turn the bread over and place a slice of cheese on the bread. Place a frankfurter diagonally on the cheese. Fold bread corner to corner around the frankfurter. Insert a toothpick to hold together. Repeat steps for the remaining frankfurters.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.

WIENER BITES

Steps:

• Wieners that are 5 inches (13cm) in length can be cut into 6 pieces each for bite-size servings. (I don't usually count. I just cut them up into little bites).
• Fry bacon slices until fat part has lost its whiteness. Do not fry until crisp or it won't roll. Cut slice in half crosswise and lengthwise. Allow to cool.(I usually do about 4 slices of bacon in the microwave for about 4 to 5 minutes. Then while I am getting the next plate ready to microwave, the first batch of bacon is cooling.).
• When cool enough to handle, wrap around wiener section and secure with toothpick. Uncooked bacon may be used but it takes longer to cook (they need broiling) at the last minute.
• To serve: Arrange on baking tray (or plate for microwave) and heat in hot oven, 400°F (200°C) until sizzling hot. Can be kept hot on serving tray. (We served them piled nice and high in a pretty bowl.)
• Watch for toothpicks!

WIENER SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Pound the veal cutlets to an even, approximately 1/8-inch thickness, or have your butcher do this for you. In a dish, sprinkle the cutlets with lemon juice and let stand for 30 minutes. Season both sides with salt. Place the flour on a flat plate, and place the egg/water mixture in a wide, shallow bowl. Add the oil to the egg mixture and beat in with a fork. Spread the bread crumbs on a large plate. Dip the cutlets lightly into the flour, making sure to coat all surfaces, then gently shake off the excess flour. Dip the cutlets into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip away, and then dredge them in the bread crumbs. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. Heat your largest, heavy skillets over medium-high heat and add the butter. When the butter is quite hot and the foam starts to subside, add the veal (cook in batches if necessary - but don't crowd them in the pan). If the butter browns too much after cooking the first batch, you may need to discard it, wipe out the pan, and add more butter for the next batch. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, until golden brown, and turn with a spatula (don't use a fork or tongs, or the breading may be pierced). When the second side is golden, the schnitzels should be cooked through. Transfer to a warm platter and keep warm in a 250 degree oven while you cook the second batch, if necessary.

COCKTAIL WIENERS

Steps:

• Stir barbeque sauce and grape jelly together in a slow cooker; add cocktail sausages and stir.
• Cook on Low for 2 to 3 hours.

COCKTAIL WIENERS I

Steps:

• In a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberry sauce and chili sauce. Break the cranberry sauce into smaller pieces with wooden spoon to speed up the melting process. Stir and heat until the cranberry sauce is melted. Add the cocktail wieners and cook until the wieners are heated. Use toothpicks for serving.

DANSKA WIENERBRöD - DANISH PASTRY

Steps:

• Dissolve sugar in milk and add yeast.
• Sift flour and salt together; rub in 6 tablespoons of butter and mix to a dough with the eggs and yeast mixture.
• Knead five minutes and roll into a rectangular sheet about twice as long as it is wide.
• Cut about half the additional butter into small lumps about the size of peas over 2/3 of the dough.
• Fold the part of the dough that does not have butter on it over half the butter-covered portion; then fold the other third over the first two layers, so that you now have 3 thicknesses of dough (something like an envelope).
• Press down the edges all the way around and roll out fairly thinly.
• Repeat the process of cutting the remaining butter on 2/3 of the dough, folding to 3 thicknesses and rolling out.
• It may be necessary to repeat once again to get all the butter incorporated.
• Cover with a cloth and set aside at room temperature for 1/2 hour, then roll out and shape as desired.
• let rise until light, but not quite doubled in bulk as it will continue to rise in the oven.
• Bake in a preheated 375F oven for 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the size of the rolls.
• Pastry shapes: Roll dough 1/2" thick, cut into strips 1/2" wide by 8" long. Twist strips and form into rings or figure-8's.
• Triangles: Roll dough 1/2" thick, cut into squares. Spread with almond paste, fold over the corners into an envelope and press down the edges. When baked, spread with frosting.
• Pinwheels: Roll dough 1/2" thick, cut into 4" squares and cut dough from each corner almost to the center. Fold each alternate point to the center, pressing down firmly.
