well, you've most likely recieved the embarassing sobrero allong with the the unknown bready-crispy substance covered in amazing cinnamon sauce with some ice cream and a candle. know what that is? its SOPAPILLAS!
as my husband and I are snowed in our apartment, we got a little tired of watching Bones episodes, so we decided to try something new. We have about 1/2 cup of milk, and one egg. what do to what to do....
Oh! i found a recipe that only uses one egg, and no milk! perfect!
Hello Cream cheese spirals. you remind me a lot of my friend sopapilla, except, rolled up. Delicioso!
so, here is the process it took to end up with this! recipe card to follow, of course :)
started with the sugar, butter, and cream cheese. blended until it made a thick, creamy dough-ish texture.
sifted in the flour
mixed it in more, ended up like this:
split the dough in half to make 2 batches, rolled into balls and pressed onto wax paper.
after this, chill in the fridge for it to harden and thicken up some.
meanwhile, i made the stuff to fill it with. (i chose not to do the nuts)
1 egg white
brown sugar and cinnamon
"like so..." (i hate that phrase)
now take the dough, roll it out to a perfect 11" circle. I eyeballed this one, which turned out perfect, of course. (KIDDING! ha. i rolled it out, and used my plate to cut a perfect circle.)
also, slice it until you have 16 slices.
brushed on the egg mixture, layed down some of the brown sugar/ cinnamon...
then roll up like crescent rolls!
after this, simply place on a pan and bake at 375 for about 20 minutes
"until golden brown"
YUM.
(by the way, if these are hard to read, sometimes clicking on the picture opens a new window and you can see it a little bigger. if it is still too small, holding the shift button while pressing the + sign zooms in)
disfrutar!
(enjoy!)
