Hgs Thin Gerbread Men Ww Points 1 Recipes

HG'S 104-CALORIE CREME BRULEE - WW POINTS = 2

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a medium pot, combine milk, half & half, and brown sugar. Bring to medium heat on the stove. Stir and cook until the sugar has dissolved and mixture is hot. Stir in the powdered creamer, blending well. Remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, mix the egg substitute and vanilla extract together. Gradually whisk in the hot milk mixture. Set four 4-ounce baking ramekins or custard cups in a deep baking dish. Evenly distribute the custard mixture into the cups.
• Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish, around the cups, being careful not to splash any water into the custard (or on yourself!). The water should come about halfway up the outsides of the custard cups. Carefully transfer pan to the oven, and bake for about 28 minutes, until custards are set.
• Remove from the oven, allow to cool, and then refrigerate custard cups until completely chilled. Once ready to serve, top each custard cup with 1 teaspoons white sugar. Using a hand-held butane kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar (in other words, blast with fire 'til browned).

50 PERFECT GINGERBREAD MEN

Steps:

• 1. Please Note: Prep time does not include refrigeration time of dough. In large bowl, cream butter and sugar together. Beat mixture until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, molasses and vinegar. (Don't be afraid of this. You will not taste it.)
• 2. In another bowl, sift together flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt. (I whisk briskly for a minute or two, which does the same thing.) Slowly, add to the butter mixture, a little at a time until all is incorporated. Dough will be soft.
• 3. Divide the dough into thirds, form into 3 discs, dust lightly with flour and place each into a large ziplock bag. Flatten slightly and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. (Can be left overnight, if you wish.)
• 4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough, one piece at a time, 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface and cut out cookies with a 4" cutter dipped in flour for 50 men. Transfer the cookies with a spatula to a prepared, parchment lined cookie sheet, approximately 2" apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Do not over bake. Cool completely and then decorate as desired.
• 5. For the decorator icing: Heat butter, and milk in medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and powdered sugar to desired consistency with hand mixer. To keep from hardening while you are decorating, you can keep the icing on a double boiler on the counter next to you, or just warm the bowl of icing slightly in the microwave. Too thin, add more powdered sugar. Too thick, add a few drops of milk. It's very forgiving. =) Should be thick enough to stack cookies when cool.

HG'S PERFECT PUMPKIN BREAD - WW POINTS = 2

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine both types of flour, Splenda, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and pumpkin pie spice (in other words, all dry ingredients except for the Craisins or raisins).
• In a medium bowl, mix together pumpkin, egg substitute, and vanilla extract (all the wet ingredients). Add this mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients, and stir until just blended.
• Slowly sprinkle chopped Craisins or raisins into the batter, making sure they don't all stick together, and mix to distribute them.
• Spoon batter into a large loaf pan (about 9" X 5") sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake for about 50 minutes, until the top of the loaf is firm to the touch. (Bread may be moist inside. This doesn't mean it's undercooked.) Allow to cool, and then cut into 8 slices. Enjoy!
