Dessert recipe with baking powder and vegetable oil?

Question

Does anyone know a dessert recipe I can make with baking powder and vegetable oil (not butter, I only have margarine and it's salted!). I also have eggs, flour,sugar, cinnamon and sprinkles. It can be a baked or fried dessert. Any ideas? I'm really bored and want something sweet. And one more thing, I also have apples and pears. Thanks

Answer 1

First, in most recipes you can use margarine.. it is rare that they aren't interchangeable in baking. But as you said you didn't want that.... here is a sweet treat.

Bunuelos
"Mexican fried cookies."

4 eggs
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup vegetable oil for frying


1. In a large bowl combine eggs with 1/4 cup sugar and beat until thick and lemon-colored. Add the oil. Combine separately 1-1/2 cups of the flour, the baking powder and the salt. Gradually add this to the egg mixture and beat well.
2. Turn dough out onto a floured board (use remaining 1/2 cup flour) and knead thoroughly until dough is smooth.
3. Shape dough into sixteen balls. Roll each one into a circle about 5 inches in diameter. Let stand uncovered on waxed paper for about 10 minutes.
4. Heat oil in a deep fry pan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry circles until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Store airtight.

You can also make Fried Apples.... cut the recipe in half if you don't have that many apples... I don't even use a recipe... just cut up the apple, fry in butter and add sugar and cinnamon until it is bubbly and coated.

FRIED APPLES

1/4 lb. butter/margarine
1/2 c. sugar
8 Golden Delicious apples, cut up, unpeeled

Add all ingredients into a covered frying pan. Cook for about 15 minutes or until soft. Add cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. Serve warm.

2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups cold water
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9 x 13 inch pan, or three 8 inch round pans.
Stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Stir in vanilla, water, vinegar, and oil. Pour batter into prepared pan(s).
Bake cake in a rectangular pan or three round pans for 35 minutes, or until done. Cool.

Answer 3

You can use your salted margarine in your recipe. Just leave out the salt in any recipe you use. You could make a nice cobbler with the ingredients you have. I'd mix the apples and pears for a nice blend in that cobbler!!

Answer 4

You can, but the brownies will have a very definite Olive flavor and smell.
