Anne’s Foolproof Standing Rib Roast

Anne is a lifetime family friend. This recipe is featured in several of Paula Deen’x cookbooks. Anne was a wonderful cook. The sister’s have shared many meals with Anne and her family. Anne would always make this for us on Christmas. This recipe is so simple and it works like a charm.

Anne’s Foolproof Standing Rib Roast

What you will need-

1 (5-pound) standing rib roast

Salt, pepper and garlic powder, to taste

How to make-
This is very simple to make. Take your roast out and let it stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour. The Sister’s like their meat medium rare. So this recipe is for medium rare. if you like your meat cooked more just cook a little longer. Heat your oven to 375 degrees. Rub the roast with the seasonings. Don’t be stingy with the seasoning. You want to season it up good. Give your meat a good message and make sure that all of the meat is seasoned. Place your roast on a rack in the pan with the rib side down and the fatty side up. Roast for 1 hour. Turn the oven off and leave the roast in the oven. Do not open the oven door for 3 hours. Don’t even take a quick look. you want to keep the door shut so all of the heat stays in the oven. About 30 to 40 minutes before serving time, turn the oven to 375 degrees and reheat the roast. Important: Do not remove roast or re-open the oven door from time roast is put in until ready to serve. Remove the roast from the oven once the internal temperature is at 135-140. Let the meat rest for about 15 minutes. It will continue to cook. You will be tempted to cut you a piece because it is going to smell and look so darn good, but don’t. If you cut before the meat has rested you will loose all of the juices and the meat will be dry. You don’t want it to be dry.

Little Sissy’s Chocolate Beignets

20121216-080924.jpg
What, chocolate and beignets? It just can’t get any better than that. These little puffs of heaven are great for breakfast, dessert or a snack. Our families love when we make these.

Little Sissy’s Chocolate Beignets

What you will need-
2 ½ tablespoons corn syrup
½ cup heavy whipping cream
8 ounces milk chocolate chips
2 sheets puff pastry dough, thawed but still cool
1 egg
¾ cup powdered sugar
Chocolate syrup (optional)

Below are your instructions-
These are not hard to make but there are several steps to these. Get you a double boiler going. If you don’t have one that’s okay. We can tell you how to make your very own. Get you a standard medium sized pot and a heat safe mixing bowl that will fit on top. Put you a little water in the pot and then mix the corn syrup and cream in the mixing bowl. Put the mixing bowl on top of the pot and bring to a boil. Get you another bowl out and add your chocolate to it. Slowly pour the hot cream on top of the chocolate. Stir chocolate until smooth. Pop the chocolate in the fridge and stir often, until firm. Let the chocolate mixture hang out for about 25 minutes. While your chocolate is chilling out, line you 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. If you don’t have parchment paper you can still make these. Just spray or grease your baking sheets real good. Lightly flour a surface and roll each pastry dough sheet into a 12-in. square. This about the size of an album cover. Using a pastry knife or a pizza cutter, cut each square into 16 smaller squares, 4 going across and 4 going down. Put the small squares on the baking sheet. Now let’s make the egg wash- in a small bowl, lightly whisk egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush a thin layer over the pastry squares. Spoon you about 1 teaspoon of the chocolate mixture into the center of each square. Fold 1 corner of each square over, making a little triangle. Press the edges down to seal. Pop in the freezer for about an hour. Crank your oven to 400 degrees and let it get good and hot. Bake the beignets until golden brown. This will take about 15 minutes. Turn pan once during baking. Do not try to taste these until they have cooled for about 5-7 minutes. We know from experience that the hot chocolate will do a number on your tongue and roof of your mouth. Once they have cooled, sift some powdered sugar on top of the beignets and drizzle with chocolate syrup. You want to serve this immediately. These are best while they’re warm.
