HEALTHY OVEN FRIES

On Friday, February 11th my group and I made oven fries. Our fries were thicker so we had to cook them longer. As well my group added some extra oil which made the fries greasy. To add some more flavor add seasoning salt. Also when cooking potatoes always rinse the cut potatoes with water and then dry the potatoes. This removes starch and makes potatoes crispy. If I were to make this recipe again I would cook them longer and add less oil.

PUFFED WHEAT CAKE

On Friday my group and I made puffed wheat cake. It went well and it was fun to make. Although we did not let the puffed wheat cake set long enough so it was falling apart, it still tasted good. I think if we would have added vanilla it would have tasted better. If you add vanilla make sure you do it after you boiled the sauce. Then remove the sauce from the heat, let it cool about one minute then stir in the vanilla.

Here is the recipe...

Puffed Wheat Cake
5 c. puffed wheat
3/4 c. brown or white sugar
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. corn syrup
4 tbsp. cocoa

Combine in a saucepan and bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Boil for 3 minutes. Pour over puffed wheat and stir with spoon to coat the puffed wheat. Transfer to buttered 9 x 9 inch baking pan and press mixture evenly into pan.
