Bonnies Homemade All Purpose Chefs Salt Recipes

CHEF ANNE'S ALL-PURPOSE PASTA DOUGH WITH SQUID INK

Steps:

• Mound the flour on a clean, dry work surface. Make a hole (this is also called a well) in the center of the flour pile that is about 8 inches wide (bigger is definitely is better here). Crack the eggs into the hole and add the olive oil, squid ink and some salt.
• Using a fork, beat the eggs together with the olive oil, squid ink and salt; then begin to incorporate the flour into the egg mixture, being careful not to break the sides of the well or else the egg mixture will run all over your board and you will have a big mess! Also, don't worry about the lumps. When enough flour has been incorporated into the egg mixture that it will not run all over the place, begin to use your hands to really get everything well combined. If the mixture is tight and dry, wet your hands and begin kneading with wet hands. When the mixture has really come together into a homogeneous mixture, THEN you can start kneading.
• When kneading, it is VERY important to put your body weight into it; get on top of the dough to really stretch it and not to tear the dough. Using the heels of your palms, roll the dough to create a very smooooooth, supple dough. When done, the dough should look VERY smooth and feel almost velvety. Kneading will usually take from 8 to 10 minutes for an experienced kneader, or 10 to 15 minutes for an inexperienced kneader. Put your body weight into it; you need to knead! This is where the perfect, toothsome texture of your pasta is formed. Get in there and have fun!
• When the pasta has been kneaded to the perfect consistency, wrap it in plastic and let it rest for at least 20 to 30 minutes. If using immediately, do not refrigerate.
• Roll and cut the pasta into the desired shape.
• How smooth and supple!

ALL PURPOSE SEASONING SALT

• Use on anything.
• If you add something else to spice it up, make sure to keep the ratio the same. You don't want to overpower the taste of the food and just taste like seasoning salt.

GRANDMA BONNIE'S DREAM COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275˚F (135˚C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baker's ammonia.
• In a separate medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer on low speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• Add the vanilla and continue beating until fully combined.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat to incorporate.
• Roll about 1 ounce of dough at a time in your hands to make walnut-sized balls. They will be small, about ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) wide. Place the balls of dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) of space between each cookie. Using a flat-bottomed measuring cup, gently press down on the cookies to flatten.
• Top each cookie with 3 chocolate chips, a single almond, or raisins.
• Bake the cookies for 30 minutes, or until the bottoms are light golden brown and the edges are crispy.
• Enjoy!
