Orangecrisps Recipes

ORANGE CINNAMON CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.
• Beat 1 Cup Sugar, Shortening, Egg, Vanilla and Orange Zest.
• Add Orange Juice.
• Stir in Flour, Soda, and Salt.
• Shape dough into walnut sized balls. Combine remaining sugar and cinnamon.
• Dip balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture and place on ungreased baking sheet.
• Flatten cookies with the bottom of a glass dipped in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
• Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until delicately browned.
• ADDITIONALLY, I tried this over the weekend using lime juice and zest and rolled them in plain white sugar and they were out-of-this-world!

SPRITZ ORANGE CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cream the shortening. Gradually add the sugar and the orange juice. Cream well. Beat in the egg and the orange rind.
• Sift the flour, salt and baking soda. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture a little at a time. Fill cookie press and form cookies onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes.

CITRUS CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with wire racks. Arrange orange slices over racks in a single even layer. Bake, rotating sheets every 2 hours, until chips are shrunken and dry, 4 to 6 hours. Let cool completely. (They will crisp as they cool.) Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 month.

CRISPY ORANGE BEEF

Steps:

• Lay beef strips out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Allow to dry in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, rice vinegar, orange juice concentrate, salt and soy sauce. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, combine rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender. Add more water at the end if necessary.
• Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Toss dried beef in cornstarch to coat. Fry in the hot oil in small batches until crispy and golden brown; set aside. Drain all of the oil from the wok except about 1 tablespoon.
• Add orange zest, ginger and garlic to the remaining oil, and cook briefly until fragrant. Add the soy sauce mixture to the wok, bring to a boil, and cook until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Add beef, and heat through, stirring to coat. Serve immediately over steamed rice, and garnish with broccoli.
