Crispy Coconut Wafers

This Coconut Wafer was modified from an old recipe in my mother's cookbook, to be used for a healthy diet.

Organic ingredients are listed when possible, however, it can be made with conventional grocery store items with the same great taste.

Ingredients:

Whites only of 2 large Organic eggs

1/8 teaspoon sea salt

3 Tablespoons raw sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract.

2 tablespoons Organic coconut flour

¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut (sweetened coconut is okay, only adds a few calories)

2 tablespoons Virgin Coconut Oil

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking dish or cookie sheet with foil, lightly coated with cooking spray.

In a medium size bowl whisk egg whites, salt, sugar, and vanilla until light and foamy, about two minutes.

Add the coconut flour, and coconut stirring to combine. Fold in the coconut oil until thoughly mixed.

Drop by spoonful to make a ball onto prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to spread and flatten each ball into a thin wafer. This recipe will make approximately nine cookies.

Bake 12 -15 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Transfer to wire rack to cool. Wafers will keep up to 1 week in an airtight container.

Utensils needed for this recipe:

Medium size baking pan or cookie sheet.

Easy Refrigerator Rolls

The following recipe is very easy and is unlike other bread recipes. The texture of the dough is a little thicker than a cake dough. The dough can be refrigerated for up to five days. It is not necessary to use all of the dough at the same time. Cut off the amount needed for the number of rolls you want and return the remainder of dough to the refrigerator. It must be punched down occasionally as it rises.

Ingredients:

3 beaten eggs

1 stick melted butter

1 ½ cups milk

½ cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 package dry yeast mixed in ¼ cup warm water

5 cups flour

An additional stick of butter will be needed for brushing the top of the dough before baking.

In a large bowl, mix eggs, melted butter, milk, sugar, and salt. Mix well, add water-yeast mixture. Stir well. Add flour a little at a time, folding in flour until well mixed. Dough will appear soft at this point. Cover bowl and allow to rise in a warm place two hours.

After the dough rises for two hours, punch down, cover and refrigerated overnight.

On floured board roll dough ¼ inch thick. Cut with biscuit cutter. Brush with melted butter and fold in half. Butter the top. Place rolls in a lightly greased pan. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 425 degrees for 10 -12 minutes.
