Place by spoonfuls (about 1/4 cup to make 15 biscuits) onto a parchment covered sheet pan. Bake until puffed and golden, about 15 minutes.

serves 6

Ingredients
4 large sweet potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, sliced thin (or 2 medium)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, chopped (or 2 tablespoons dried sage)
1/4 teaspoon chipotle pepper powder (optional)
1 cup cream
1 1/2  cups milk

Topping:
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan

Directions
Heat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 casserole or gratin dish. Peel and slice the potatoes. Toss them in a bowl with a little olive oil and salt and pepper.

Heat the butter in a heavy skillet and slowly caramelize the onions. When the onions are dark, add the garlic and cook just until golden. Reserve two tablespoons of the chopped sage (or 1 tablespoon if using dried) and add the rest to the onions, along with the chipotle powder, cream and milk. Cook until the cream mixture is slightly reduced then remove from the heat.

Layer the potatoes in a greased casserole dish with the onions, lifting them out of the cream with a slotted spoon. Pour the cream over the top and bake for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are barely tender.  If not enough liquid remains, add additional milk around the perimeter until there is 1/4-1/2 inch of liquid in the bottom of the dish.

Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet and toast the reserved chopped sage and the breadcrumbs until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and toss with the Parmesan. Sprinkle over top of the gratin and return to the oven for about 15 minutes or until brown and crispy.
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup Warm Milk (110 Degrees)
  • 2 whole Eggs Room Temperature
  • ⅓ cups Butter Or Margarine Melted
  • 4-½ cups Bread Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • 2-½ teaspoons Bread Machine Yeast
  • _____
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar, Packed
  • 2-½ Tablespoons Ground Cinnamon
  • ⅓ cups Butter, Softened
  • _____
  • FOR THE FROSTING:
  • 3 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
  • ¼ cups Butter, Softened
  • 1-½ cup Powdered Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla
  • ⅛ teaspoons Salt
Directions
Place ingredients in the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer (if you don’t have a bread machine, scroll down to the instructions by hand). Select the dough cycle; press start.

Once finished, roll out the dough on a floured surface. Let it rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll the dough into a 16×21″ rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture.

Roll up dough, and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 13×9″ baking dish or two 9″ pie plates. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake rolls in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together the cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.

Directions by hand:

Dissolve yeast in warm milk. Mix in sugar, eggs, salt and butter. Add flour; mix well. Knead dough into a large ball dusted lightly in flour. Place in a bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size. Roll out dough and proceed with directions above.

Note that unbaked rolls can be frozen. Just take them out of the freezer and put them in the refrigerator the night before, and in the morning they’ll be ready for the oven. You can also make these ahead of time (like the night before). Just put them unbaked, in the fridge. In the morning, set them out for about 30 minutes before baking.

If you love cream cheese frosting, I recommend doubling the frosting.

Ingredients
2 lb. Halibut, fresh or defrosted
white wine to cover
bread crumbs
2 cups sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup finely chopped red onions
Dill

Directions
Take two pounds of filleted halibut cut into pieces approximately 1" thick and 3" x 3" and put into a bowl, lightly salting and pouring wine over each layer until the fish is all in. Cover the fillets, cover and set in a cool place to marinate for two hours.

Drain the fillets and pat dry with paper towel or cloth, then roll in dry bread crumbs. Place the crumbed fillets in a single layer in a lightly buttered baking dish which can be brought to the table, and cover with the following topping:

Mix sour cream, mayonnaise and chopped onions and spread thickly on top of the fillets in the baking dish, smoothing it out to the edges so the fish is covered completely. Sprinkle the top with dill and bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until light brown and bubbly and an instant reading thermometer reads 125 degrees in the thickest part. Serve at once.
