Trufas de Coco y Leche

(Coconut and Condensed Milk Truffles)

We made this at home with our 4, 5 and 6 year old daughters, easy and fun!


Ingredients:

2 packets "vino" biscuits (or other sweet biscuits)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup of dessicated coconut.

Method:

1. Crush biscuits in a large bowl. Can be done by hand or with a mixer/stick blender on a low setting. Crush until the biscuits have formed a medium to fine crumble.

2. Add the can of condensed milk and mix thoroughly.

3. Take tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Roll in the coconut.

4. Refrigerate (or eat them, whatever!)

Note: This is 2 Chilean sized packets of biscuits. If making this somewhere else, use 1 packet and then add more if necessary (you want a playdough texture).

Alternatives: Add raisins, choc chips, or nuts for additional flavour.

Enjoy!

Pizza Crust from Kim Ponczoch

Pizza Crust

1 C sour milk (add 1 tsp. lemon juice)

2 T butter
1 T yeast
2 1/2 C flour

1/4 tsp. baking soda
Warm milk in microwave (about 30 seconds). Melt butter in pan. Take off heat. Pour milk into butter. Sprinkle on yeast and sugar. Let yeast develop. Stir in flour, salt & soda. Knead well. Let rise 10 min. Spread on greased pizza pan (instead of using cooking spray I just sprinkle corn meal on the pan). Add pizza toppings. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees.
