Categories     side-dish

Time 23m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Vegetable oil, for frying
1 extra large sweet onion
2 cups complete pancake mix, any brand
1 cup beer
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/3 palm full
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, eyeball it, or 1 teaspoon hot sauce
Salt

Steps:

  • Heat 1-inch vegetable oil of moderate to medium high heat. If you wish to test the oil, add a 1-inch cube of bread to hot oil. If it turns deep golden brown in color in a count of 40, the oil is ready.
  • Trim ends of onion and peel. Cut into 3/4-inch slices and separate rings.
  • Mix together pancake mix and beer, season with paprika, chili powder and cayenne pepper or hot sauce. Batter should be thick. If it gets too thick, add a splash more beer. Working in small batches of 5 to 6 slices, coat rings of onion in batter and fry 4 to 5 minutes, until evenly golden brown. Turn onions over so that both sides get puffed and cooked. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Season o-nuts with salt while hot. Repeat with remaining ingredients. When all the onions are dipped and fried, turn off oil to cool before discarding.

Chocolate-Orange Espresso Thins image

The secret to the super-crisp texture here is cutting the dough into very thin rounds; coarse sanding sugar on top adds to their crunch.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons coarse sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Sift together flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt into a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Put butter, confectioners' sugar, orange zest, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low, and gradually add flour mixture until just combined.
  • Transfer dough to a 12-by-16-inch piece of parchment; shape into a log. Roll in parchment to 1 1/2 inches in diameter, pressing a ruler along edge of paper at each turn to narrow the log and force out air. Transfer in parchment to a paper towel tube; chill at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut log into 1/4-inch-thick slices; transfer to baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Brush tops with water; sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until set, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool on sheets on wire racks. Store in airtight containers at room temperature up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Use fresh nuts: Fresh nuts are more flavorful and have a better texture than stale nuts. If you can, buy nuts in bulk and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. This will help them stay fresh for longer.
  • Roast the nuts before spicing them: Roasting the nuts will bring out their natural flavors and make them more receptive to the spices. You can roast nuts in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  • Use a variety of spices: The spices you use to flavor your nuts are up to you, but some popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, and cloves. You can also add a little bit of chili powder or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Be careful not to overcook the nuts: Overcooked nuts will be dry and tough. Cook them just until they are fragrant and golden brown.
  • Let the nuts cool completely before storing them: This will help them to stay crispy.

Conclusion:

Spiced nuts are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or added to other dishes. They are also a great way to use up leftover nuts. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own spiced nuts at home. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful snack, give spiced nuts a try. You won't be disappointed!
