Hotdogs wrapped with crescent rolls!

You probably wonder is it really easy to make the crescent rolls? It is, but just the waiting for the dough to rise is the hard part. :-). In the the West, particularly in the US, you can just buy the dough in the grocery store and ready to bake. The crescent  dough was made by Pillsbury. Unfortunately here in the Philippines it’s very hard to get any Pillsbury product. Since me and my family are into crescent rolls. I have to do some researching on the net for a good recipe. I found one that I tried and it’s good.

Since Thanksgiving is coming up soon in the States, I am gearing up for the feast. Ever since living back here in the Philippines we do celebrate every year. We just celebrate on a different day (Saturday) since no holidays for the the kids here on the Thanksgiving day Thursday.

I’ve been cooking some food that usually had squash ingredients with it. Trying really some new stuff too on Thanksgiving day. We found this recipe on the net for cookies and been cooking for  a few years now with this recipe. The main ingredients was the pumpkin. Well since we don’t have pumpkin here in Philippines I substituted it with squash. Some stores carry nowadays but it’s not often though. Quite honestly, I can’t even tell the difference between the two. It just taste like pumpkin to me. Everybody in the house loves the squash cookies. Really yummy.

Easy to make pasty recipe!

A classmate of mine from high school asked me the recipe of the pasty that I posted on my wall on Facebook. I was thinking of emailing the recipe to her privately. Well, I notice another classmate of mine asking who made the pasty,  so I just then decided to share the whole recipe with you guys. The recipe, its easy and simple to make. You can even put any veggies that your family like.

For some people they might prefer store bough pie crust. But being here in the Philippines, we pretty much make our own pie crust. I will share with you my pie crust recipe that I used.

Ingredients for the filling : 

  • A kilo of ground beef
  • 1-2 onions
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 3 potatoes, cubet
  • 2 carrots, cubed
  • 1 small singkamas (jicama or turnip), cubed
  • corn
  • Good amount of pepper
  • Salt
***Mix it all together using your hand. Put it aside after you’re done making the pie crust.

Pie crust ingredients: 

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purposed flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup (or a stick) chilled & diced the butter (I put my butter in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before using)
  • 1/4 cup shortening (same procedure with the butter)
  • 3-4 tablespoons of ice water

***To prepare the crust. Mix all the ingredients together, for me I used my hands so that I can feel the consistency. Lightly flour the surface where the place to roll the dough. Cut the dough into 3 rounds. Using the rolling pin, roll the though until it reach to the thickness you desire. Then put the filling on the one side of the dough for the other to fold on top on it. Use fork to press the edge of the dough or start folding just a tiny edge from one side to the other. Like what I have on my picture. Cut a slit like an inch on top of the pie to vent. Brushed with beaten egg on the pasty before baking. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for an hour. Some use ketchup for dipping.

Thank you for asking shi. I hope you like the recipe. Let me know.

Have fun making and eating!

So, if you are missing binignit or ginataan, head over to LiP and get the recipe, I am sure you will enjoy yourself, both making it and also eating it!
