Lemon Meltaways

Ever since we discontinued the Lemon Meltaway cookies at our Bountiful and Centerville stores we have had tons of requests for the recipe. A fun fact about this cookie is that it was originally the Studio 5 Signature Cookie. The show came to us and asked us to come up with a cookie that only had 5 ingredients. The neat thing about this cookie is how versatile it can be. Instead of having lemon on the top, you can have lime, strawberry, pink lemonade...the sky really is the limit. I've also heard of people using this dough as a kind of pie dough. So get creative! 

Since we aren't making this cookie anymore, and it's not something I'd make at home, I did a quick internet search for images. I found this picture and copied and pasted, so I need to apologize to whoever I stole this picture from!   


Lemon Meltaway Cookies




Cookie Ingredients
1 cup butter
� cup powdered sugar
1 � tsp lemon juice
� cup cornstarch
1 2/3 cup flour


Icing Ingredients
Powdered Sugar
Lemon Juice
Yellow food coloring, if desired

Cream butter/margarine and sugar.  Add remaining ingredients and combine.

Bake at 350 for 9-10 minutes.  Cookies are done when top starts to crack.  Edges may be slightly browned.

Let cool completely.  

To make icing, simply put some powdered sugar in a bowl, add some lemon juice and food coloring, mix until not lumpy. You can't mess this up, you can add more lemon juice to get the sugar not lumpy and if it ends up too runny, you can always add more powdered sugar. 

Put on cookies with the back of a spoon and working gently, because these cookies are really tender, spread out.

Kashikeyo Baipen (Screwpine fruit Porridge)

Image
I know I posted this a long time ago but I took some of my old posts out due to some comments I got but then again , I realized  different people make their recipes differently, so why bother what people say. Anyway, the first time I heard of this recipe was from my husband. We had just been married and living in Kulhudhufushi as my husband was working there for 6 months.  I love screwpine fruit and its heady perfume. So there I was making, or rather trying to make, kashikeyo kandhi and hubby kept hovering around, going that's not how my mum used to make. Yes I know ladies,  there are lots of new weds, who read this who have heard this line LOL??. Anyway , a few years later,  I finally tasted the  dish , which by the way was a totally different  dish altogether, so my hubby was right???? .   My mum in law  showed me how to make  it and I love making this, especially during Ramadhan, as its not just a desert dish , it can even be eating...

Banbukeyo Hithi ( Breadfruit Curry)

Image
For ages I kept meaning to try one of the Hithi recipes. Hithi means bitter but this is not a bitter curry. Its called hith i because its uses a spice known locally as hithi damui . My mum kept saying its difficult getting hithi damui you can only get it from the local ayuvedhi stalls until my sister discovered after seeing the spice that it was in fact ajwain/ carom seeds . I have seen ajwain seeds in a local shop and also in some of the Indian specialty shops. Ajwain seeds although it looks a lot like tiny cumin seeds  has a slightly different taste. There  are two kinds of hithi , one is this banbukeyo ( breadfruit )  hithi and the other is maalhoskeyo hithi ( plaintain). Recipe : Banbukeyo Hithi Serves 4 -6 1/4 piece of a regular size banbukeyo (about 250g) 2 garlic cloves, finely grated 1/2 inch ginger grated 10 curry leaves small piece pandan leaf 1/4 tsp tumeric 100g smoked tuna 1 small onion thinly sliced 1/2 tsp ajwain or hithi damui 150 ml coconut milk 700...
