Ginger Lassies Recipes

ASIAN GINGER DRESSING

Steps:

• In a 1 pint glass jar or larger, combine the garlic, ginger, olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and water. Cover the jar with a tight fitting lid, and shake well. Remove lid, and heat jar in the microwave for 1 minute just to dissolve the honey. Let cool, and shake well before serving. Store covered in the refrigerator.

MOLASSES (LASSIE) BUNS

Steps:

• 1. Mix all dry ingredients. Cut in butter and mix until lumps of butter have been broken up and well-distributed. Make a well in the middle of the mixture and add the molasses. Mix well, adding the warm water as needed.
• 2. Flour a cutting board or flat countertop and roll dough out to desired thickness (I usually roll it out to about 3/8" thick.) Take a large glass and, using the rim, cut out large circles. Turn them onto a greased cookie sheet.
• 3. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees F. (Time depends on the oven. I never go over 15 minutes and cookies remain soft). Recipe makes about 4 dozen large cookies. I generally halve all the ingredients to make a smaller batch.

CHOCOLATE LASSIES

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat 2 cups sugar, shortening, and molasses together in a bowl using an electric stand mixer until uniform, making sure not to overbeat. Add eggs and mix for 30 seconds.
• Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture and mix until just combined and dough is stiff.
• Pour 2 tablespoons sugar in a shallow bowl. Form cookie dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in sugar, making sure not to flatten. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookies crackle on top for 'lace' design, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

GINGER MANGO LASSI

Steps:

• To remove the flesh of the mango, cut the flesh away from the pit in 2 large pieces. Use a paring knife to cut through the flesh (but not through the peel) in a crisscross grid pattern. Use your thumbs to press against the skin side and pop the mango cubes up. Cut across the bottom, along the peel and add the cubes to the blender.
• Peel ginger. Grate ginger finely into bowl. Use fingers to squeeze juice out of gratings. Discard juiced gratings.
• Put ginger and remaining ingredients in the blender and blend until thick and smooth.
• If you don't have a blender you can still make the drink: Just whisk everything but the ice together in a mixing bowl. Fill glasses with ice and pour the mixture on top.
