The name “monkey bread” might sound peculiar, but its origin is even more intriguing.

Regardless of its name, one thing is certain: this bread is a delightful treat that’s both fun to make and eat.
There’s something incredibly satisfying about making your own dough. The enriched dough used in this recipe, combined with the sweet cinnamon sugar coating, ensures every bite is soft, fluffy, and utterly delicious.

1. Chocolate and Walnut Fusion: Enhance the classic recipe by adding chocolate chips or chunks along with chopped walnuts. As you layer the dough balls in the Bundt pan, sprinkle a mix of chocolate and walnuts between each layer. This combination ensures a gooey chocolate walnut delight in every bite!
2. Cream Cheese Stuffed Monkey Bread: For a creamy surprise, consider stuffing each dough ball with a cube of softened cream cheese. As you bite into the monkey bread, you’ll be greeted with a luscious cream cheese center that perfectly complements the sugary exterior.
3. Caramel Drizzle: After baking the bread, drizzle it generously with homemade or store-bought caramel sauce. The sticky, sweet caramel takes the monkey bread to a whole new level of indulgence. You can also use this homemade vanilla-infused condensed milk sauce.
4. Tropical Monkey-Bread: Add a tropical flair by incorporating shredded coconut and dried pineapple bits in the sugar-cinnamon coating mixture.
5. Coffee Glaze Monkey Bread: For those who love a hint of coffee, prepare a simple glaze using powdered sugar, a touch of milk, and instant coffee granules. Drizzle this over the baked bread for a delightful coffee-infused treat.
6. Seasonal Spice Twist: While the traditional cinnamon essence is undeniably delightful, there’s room to experiment with a medley of spices tailored to different seasons or festivities. Consider infusing pumpkin pie spice for an autumnal touch, or embrace the festive spirit of December mornings with hints of gingerbread spices. These aromatic additions not only elevate the flavor but also make each bite resonate with the essence of the season.
]]>The preparation is straightforward, and as the bread bakes, it releases an aroma that’s sure to make your kitchen the favorite spot in the house. If you’re jotting down ingredients for your next shopping trip, remember to include bananas and strawberries. But this bread isn’t just about taste; it’s also a wholesome choice.
Packed with essential nutrients from its key ingredients, it’s a perfect breakfast option that offers both flavor and a good start to your day.
Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the oven reaches the desired temperature by the time you’re ready to bake.
Loaf Pan Setup: Grab a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Spray the inside thoroughly with a non-stick cooking spray. This prevents the bread from sticking to the pan. Once sprayed, set it aside for later.
Creaming Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use a standard mixer to blend together the butter and sugar. Continue mixing until the combination becomes light and fluffy in texture. This process helps in achieving a soft breadcrumb.
Eggs and Bananas: In a separate, smaller bowl, crack open the eggs and beat them lightly using a fork. This ensures even distribution when added to the mixture. Pour the beaten eggs into the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well combined. Following this, incorporate the mashed bananas into the mix, ensuring a smooth consistency.
Dry Ingredients: Slowly introduce the flour, salt, and baking soda to the wet mixture. It’s crucial to mix just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Overmixing can result in dense bread.
Strawberries: Before adding the strawberries, ensure they are lightly coated with flour. This helps them distribute evenly throughout the bread and prevents them from sinking to the bottom. Gently fold the floured strawberries into the batter.
Baking: Carefully pour the batter into your previously prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake at 375°F for the initial 15 minutes. After this period, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Continue baking for an additional 30 minutes or until the bread achieves a golden-brown hue at the edges. A good test for doneness is inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread; if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
Cooling: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven. It’s essential to let it cool completely within the loaf pan. This cooling period allows the bread to set and makes it easier to remove from the pan without breaking.
Ready to explore some exciting twists to this recipe? But first, capture the essence by pinning the image below to your Pinterest board. Inspire others and spread the love for this delightful dish! 🍓🍌
Nutty Variation: Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter. This not only gives the bread a delightful crunch but also enhances its nutritional value.
Chocolate Chip Twist: Mix in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter for a sweet surprise in every bite. You can use dark, milk, or white chocolate chips based on your preference.
Vegan Version:
Gluten-Free Variation: Substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to check the consistency, as some gluten-free flours might require a bit more moisture.
Tropical Twist: Add 1/2 cup of shredded coconut or a few chunks of pineapple to the batter for a tropical flavor.
Berry Delight: Along with strawberries, fold in 1/4 cup of blueberries or raspberries for a mixed berry experience.
Spiced Version: Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg to the batter for a warm, spiced flavor.
Lower Sugar Option: Reduce the sugar by half and add 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce to maintain moisture.
Zesty Variation: Grate the zest of one lemon or orange and mix it into the batter for a refreshing citrusy undertone.
Remember, when trying out variations, it’s essential to keep an eye on the bread while baking, as different ingredients can slightly alter the baking time. Enjoy experimenting and finding your favorite version!
]]>Wakey wakey, eggs, and bakey! French toast, my all-time favorite breakfast food, is what gets me going in the morning. You can bet your syrup that I’ll order French Toast, Denver Omelette, Hash browns, or Benedict Eggs whether I’m eating out or making breakfast at home. But hold on, because I just found the breakfast that will change everything: Creme Brulee Toast.
This dish is a real work of art. It only has four simple ingredients, but when they all come together, they taste like a symphony of deliciousness. And I’ll tell you right now that this French Toast recipe I’m about to give you isn’t like any other. It’s breakfast heaven on a whole new level.
French toast is a traditional breakfast food that people all over the world love. The classic recipe calls for milk, whole eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, among other ingredients. Most of the time, these ingredients are mixed together to make a simple and tasty soak for the bread. But if you want a more decadent take on the traditional dish, you could try French Creme Brulee toast.
The French recipe for Creme Brulee toast is a little different from the usual one. It calls for egg yolks instead of whole eggs. Egg yolks are often used in custard-based desserts like Creme Brulee because of how rich and creamy they are. In this recipe, thick cream is used instead of milk. The cream makes the soak feel rich and velvety, which makes the French toast taste even more decadent.
The use of vanilla is another important distinction between the classic recipe and the French Creme Brulee toast recipe. Vanilla extract is usually used in French toast recipes, but vanilla paste is used in the French Creme Brulee toast recipe. Vanilla paste is a more concentrated form of vanilla. It contains vanilla seeds, which add an extra layer of flavor and aroma to the meal. Lastly, cinnamon is used in a traditional French toast recipe but not in the French Creme Brulee toast recipe.
Cinnamon is often used in sweet dishes, but it is not needed for the French Creme Brulee toast recipe. One of the main ingredients of Creme Brulee is a layer of burnt, solid sugar on top. This is easy to do and gives the French toast a delicious and unique flavor. Overall, French Creme Brulee toast is a tasty and indulgent take on the traditional French toast recipe. Creme Brulee is made with rich and creamy egg yolks, thick cream, and vanilla paste.
This delicious dish is often served with a variety of toppings, such as fresh berries or sliced bananas for a touch of natural sweetness and maple syrup for a hint of caramel-like flavor. Some versions add a dollop of whipped cream, which makes the dish rich and creamy. You can also try this apple curd, it’s yummy when spread on French toast.
Some people like to sprinkle powdered sugar on top to add a little sweetness and a little crunch. If you want to add something savory, you can serve it with a side of crispy bacon or savory sausages. Try out different toppings to find the one that you like best.
With our delicious Crème Brûlée French Toast, you can have a breakfast treat like no other. Imagine thick, fluffy slices of Brioche bread wrapped around the sweet and creamy goodness of a classic Crème Brûlée. It’s a breakfast that will make your taste buds happy and make you feel complete.
Mmm, can you smell how good Crème Brûlée French Toast is? If you love this recipe as much as we do, why not share the image below on your Pinterest board and spread the love?

You want more after every bite because it melts on your tongue. So don’t be afraid to try our cinnamon rolls and experience a whole new level of delicious cinnamony delight.
These brioche cinnamon rolls are a true masterpiece; I can confidently say that. The use of brioche dough is the key to their enticing flavor and texture. Also, brioche cinnamon rolls have a delectably soft and pillow-like texture thanks to a buttery and creamy dough.
The cream cheese frosting on top and the cinnamon sugar filling offers the ideal amount of tang and sweetness. Once you’ve had a mouthful, let me tell you that it’s difficult to resist reaching for another roll.
They are also ideal for any special occasion in addition to weekend breakfast or brunch. You have the option of serving them plain or with a variety of toppings, warm or cold. These rolls will definitely “wow” the crowd and steal the show, I promise, just like this Italian Maritozzi sweet buns recipe, which was an instant hit on social media.
The ideal balance of the ingredients is key. It feels as though the brioche dough is dancing in your mouth because it is so light and airy, like a fluffy cloud.
When combined with the dough, the cinnamon sugar butter spread adds the ideal amount of sweetness and a touch of warmth.
Besides brioche dough, cream cheese frosting is the star of this recipe, so don’t forget about it. It’s a party in your mouth, it is so creamy, rich, and decadent. The combination of flavors and textures in this recipe is like a symphony, and you’ll want more.
Let’s face it, who doesn’t enjoy a tasty party in their mouth?
Butter: Butter gives a recipe taste and texture. Prior to baking, it must be removed from the refrigerator so that it can come to room temperature and soften.
Yeast: Yeast is a leavening agent that gives the dough a distinct flavor and helps it rise. For optimal results, I advise using fresh yeast; however, active dry yeast can be used in its place.
Whole milk: Whole milk helps the yeast grow and hydrates the dough. The temperature should be raised to 98 F (37 C), as that is where yeast grows best. It’s crucial to avoid heating the milk to a point where the yeast is killed.
Brown sugar: Brown sugar has a distinct caramel flavor note and is used to make a dish sweeter.
Cream cheese: Frosting is made from the cream cheese. Before creating the frosting, it should be taken out of the fridge to come to room temperature. This will guarantee a creamy and smooth consistency.
Don’t forget to refer to the recipe card for a detailed list and exact measurements of all ingredients!
Step 1: Heat the milk until it’s just about body temperature (about 98 F). Put some crumbled fresh yeast into a mixing bowl. Pour the warm milk in and stir everything together until the yeast is dissolved. If you’re using dry yeast, follow the instructions on the package to get it to activate.
Step 2: Next, we’ll include all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, eggs, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together with the dough hook on low to medium speed until the dough is completely wet and there is no dry flour left. Then, mix on medium speed for another 4 minutes.
Step 3: Now is the time to add butter! Perform this step in two parts. After the first part is fully mixed into the dough, add the second part. Even though it might look a little messy, don’t worry. Once the second part is mixed in, scoop down the sides of the bowl and proceed to mix for 8 to 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the bowl.
Step 4: Last, we’ll put the dough in a clean bowl that has a thin layer of vegetable oil on it. Wrap the bowl in plastic wrap and a tea towel, and put it in a warm room for an hour to let the dough rise.
Step 1: Let’s make the filling while the dough is rising. Mix all the ingredients together until they form a paste. Put it aside.
Step 2: Once your dough has doubled in size, roll it out on a lightly floured work surface into a large rectangular shape that is about 5 mm thick. Spread the cinnamon sugar filling out equally, and roll the dough into a log.
Step 3: Cut off the unequal ends of the log using a piece of string or unflavored dental floss and cut it into 12 rolls. For this, you can also use a serrated bread knife.
Step 4: Place the rolls on a baking sheet that is 9×13 inches (24×34 cm) and lined with parchment paper. Let them rise again for 45 minutes. In the meantime, heat the oven to 375 F (for a standard oven).
Step 5: Once the cinnamon rolls have risen, bake them for 22 to 25 minutes on the second lowest rack. Cover the rolls with aluminum foil for the last 5 minutes of baking to keep them from getting too brown.
Step 1: Using a hand mixer, mix butter and cream cheese for 1 minute in a bowl. Sift in powdered sugar and add in vanilla extract. Mix everything until it’s smooth and well-blended.
Step 2: Spread the frosting on the warm brioche cinnamon rolls and enjoy!
You can easily prepare all the parts the night before, so all you have to do in the morning is put them together and bake them. Mix the dough as directed, then whip up your cream cheese frosting and put it in a sealed container in the fridge.
For the cinnamon sugar filling, mix the ingredients together and store them in an airtight container at room temperature. So all you have to do is put the rolls together and bake them, and voila, brioche cinnamon rolls are being served!
Delicious, fluffy brioche cinnamon rolls will make your mouth explode with flavor. After just one bite, you’ll be hooked and eat roll after roll without stopping. You’ll wonder if you’re in pastry heaven when you try the gooey cinnamon sugar filling and cream cheese frosting.
Don’t keep these yummy brioche cinnamon rolls to yourself! Share the image below on your Pinterest board and make your friends drool. 🙂

This luscious apple spread is a favorite in our home all year. We spread it on just about everything we eat. This tasty apple curd recipe eliminates the need for a double boiler or pressure cooker, making it more convenient than other apple curd recipes.
Have you ever tasted curd made from apples? Apple curd is another flavorful spread that may be used in place of lemon curd, which is perhaps more well-known among the general public. This great adaptable spread is really affordable, especially if you have an abundance of apples in the fall when you can use them to make this spread.
It goes wonderfully with breakfast, whether on bread, toast, pancakes, Croffle, in a sandwich, or stirred into porridge; nevertheless, it also has a wide variety of other uses.
You can also use it to enhance this Italian lemon ricotta cake.
Apples: I chose the Gala variety for flavor, but you may use whichever apples you have. A strong-tasting apple will provide better results, but you may also utilize garden windfalls or other apple deals you can get at this time. Apples with stronger flavors include Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, Pink Lady, and Cox’s Orange Pippin.
Sugar: You can use regular granulated sugar or caster sugar for this recipe.
Butter – I recommend using salted butter in this recipe.
Eggs: I always go for organic and free-range eggs, especially when making desserts.
Lemon – Jarred lemon juice works well for this. The amount is equal to the juice of a typical lemon.
Step 1: In a large bowl or saucepan, mix the lemon juice and water. The apples will cook more quickly and uniformly in a large saucepan, and the mixture will cool off more rapidly after being cooked.
Step 2: Place the apples in the water after peeling, coring, and chopping them into pieces of about 1/2 inch.
Step 3: Put the liquid and apples in a saucepan and cook for approximately 20 minutes with the lid on over low to medium heat.
Step 4: Use a potato masher to mash up the apples to accelerate the process. After allowing the mixture to cool for five minutes, strain it through a sieve. In my experience, pushing the mixture through with the back of a big spoon is simpler.
Step 5: Put the mixture back in the pan. Mix the eggs together with a whisk and cut the butter into small pieces. Mix in the apples with the eggs, butter, and sugar. Simmer for 10 minutes while stirring over low heat. This will enable the eggs to solidify the apple curd and dissolve the sugar.
Flavor – Apple curd can be prepared in one pot and has the flavor of apple pie and caramel. The variety of tastes complements so many different dishes!
Texture – Apple curd has a somewhat thicker consistency than custard or jam, but it is still spreadable.
Ease – This recipe is simple and easy to follow, making it ideal for cooks of all skill levels.
Speed – Making apple curd takes only 30 minutes.
Sterilizing any jar you use for preserves is crucial since germs may grow there quickly and ruin the contents.
I frequently reuse jam jars and lids for preserves. It is best to avoid using a jar lid that has come into touch with vinegar since the seal is destroyed. By soaking in hot water, outdated labels and adhesives can be removed.
Set the oven temperature to 270 F. Soak the jars and lids with hot soapy water and a good rinse, but don’t let them dry. Put the jars on an oven tray with the lids flat on the tray—15 minutes of heating.
The jars (but not the lids) can also be sterilized in the microwave. Jars should be washed and left damp. Put in the microwave for 40 seconds at maximum power.
Also, any jar, lid, or seal can be sterilized in a dishwasher.
Apple curd is created in 30 minutes and is buttery, flavorful, and smooth. It makes a wonderful Holiday gift and is the ideal way to use up extra apples from apple picking in the fall.

Perhaps one of my favorite comfort food dishes is this homemade white country gravy, a common Southern dish. Although I never tried a gravy I didn’t like; this one is amongst my favorite ones. One of my go-to recipes for a cozy meal is white country gravy, a Southern breakfast staple and a staple in my own kitchen.
Chicken fried steak, biscuits and gravy, chowder, mashed potatoes and gravy all fall under this category. You’re going to adore this White Country Gravy.
You are missing out if this is your first time making it. This gravy can be prepared in minutes; you’ve heard it tight…minutes! And I am confident that you already have all the ingredients on hand to prepare it!
Everyone knows the secret to a great Southern dinner is a killer gravy.
In my view, the finest element of a traditional Southern meal is the gravy that is liberally applied to every portion of the meal. Even if your fried chicken, pork chops, or chicken fried steak came out dry, a good gravy might make it edible again.
All things considered, this recipe for creamy white gravy is the gold standard for traditional country gravy. When your supper needs a little something extra, this is the sauce to make. It’s rich, beautifully creamy, and velvety smooth. Even better, it takes minutes to prepare and requires only five common pantry ingredients.
This is a dish that may be prepared in almost any place and at any time.
Butter: Instead of using meat drippings, this recipe calls for butter as the fat. You can use bacon fat if you prefer.
Milk: I advise using whole milk or at least 2%. You won’t get the same richness from low- or no-fat foods.
Flour: Flour adds to the gravy’s thickening.
Garlic powder (optional): This is an optional ingredient that isn’t often included in country gravy, but I adore the mellow flavor it gives the dish, just like in this garlic parmesan sauce.
Black pepper: It’s essential! While garlic is optional, black pepper is a must. Black pepper provides white gravy with its distinctive speckled appearance and its flavor.
Salt: When you use salted butter, you might not require as much salt, depending on your preferences.
Step 1: Heat the small pan over medium heat and melt the butter. After the butter is melted, whisk in the flour. Let it cook for 1 minute.
Step 2: Whisk in the milk slowly. Keep constantly stirring to keep lumps from forming. Once you bring it to a low boil, turn down the heat and let it simmer.
Step 3: Add garlic powder (optional), black pepper, and salt. Keep stirring the gravy as it simmers for about 15 minutes or until it gets thick.
As this gravy cools, it will thicken up significantly. You can just heat it up again or add a little bit more milk. If you have any leftovers, put them in the fridge and eat them within 3 days.
As I mentioned before, I’ve never tasted a gravy I didn’t enjoy, but this White Country Gravy is gradually making its way up to the top of my list of favorites, one delectable dripping at a time.
You may use the fat from frying bacon or sausage in place of the butter if there is any leftover. Use enough butter to equal 1/4 cup of total fat if just a little oil is left in the pan. Simply adhere to the remaining directions as provided.
The liquid used to make the gravy is the primary distinction. White gravy is often produced with milk, and brown gravy is typically made using animal fat and broth.
The primary distinction is the liquid used to make gravy. White gravy is prepared with milk, whereas brown gravy is made using animal fat and broth.
White gravy paired with homemade biscuits or mashed potatoes is excellent. Additionally, it may be used as a creamy covering for fried chicken, turkey, chicken tenders, toast, eggs, omelets, breakfast pizzas, and pork chops.
This white gravy recipe makes about 2 cups. But if you want to make more, you can always double or triple the recipe.
Let your white gravy cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container to preserve in a fridge. It will last in the refrigerator for approximately 3 to 4 days.
Additionally, you may freeze it in a zip-lock bag on a baking sheet until it freezes. We are freezing it this way because it is simpler to reheat up when it is thinner. Following that, you may freeze this gravy for up to 4-6 months, which is excellent.
To reheat the white gravy, just microwave tor gravy at medium heat in a saucepan. You may always add a little milk or water if it is too thick.
This White Country Gravy is my favorite because of how rich and creamy it is. You may eat it straight off the spoon, or drizzle it over mashed potatoes, buttermilk biscuits, or any other meal of your choosing

Croffles are a mix of waffles and croissants. Essentially, they are croissants pressed inside a waffle maker to make them look like a waffle. Think of a waffle with several layers of flaky dough and a nice, crispy outside. It’s a mix of songs nobody asked for, but it works great!
Croffles are one of the most popular new breakfast foods. They are flaky, buttery, and just sweet enough. Croffles are a cross between croissants and waffles. The inside is soft and chewy, and the outside is crunchy.
Croissant dough: As long as you begin with premade croissant dough, making croissants is easy. You’ll need croissants that haven’t been cooked to make these croffles (you can buy frozen and thaw them yourself). If you could consider the frying spray used to oil your waffle machine as an ingredient, it would be the only other thing you would need.
However, you may try rubbing melted butter over the grates for something even richer. Consider Pillsbury, or if you want something better, croissant dough that hasn’t been baked from a nearby bakery. Here, even puff pastry would be effective! If you’re feeling very ambitious, go ahead and create your own!
Your preferred fillings and toppings: Butter, honey, or even Nutella can be used as a filling. To make the exterior of the croffle golden brown, once it is cooked, the croissant dough can be rolled in sugar. Either brown sugar or white granulated sugar may be used. See my complete list of recommended toppings and fillings below.
A waffle maker: Obviously, this is a necessity.
The waffle maker should be preheated before use and greased with cooking spray or butter.
To prevent sticking, carefully dust your surface as you roll out the puff pastry or crescent dough. Don’t overfill them; instead, load them with your preferred fillings.
Starting with the broad end of the triangle dough, carefully roll each triangle. (If you prefer not to fill your croffles, just put the croissant dough to your waffle iron once it has thawed, and press.)
Close the cover of the waffle iron after placing the dough in its center. Check the croffle to see if it is fully cooked after baking the dough for around 2 minutes. If necessary, cook it longer. Even though croissants are delicious, it is unpleasant to bite into unbaked croissant dough.
You can top them with “whipped cream and fruit, yogurt and berries, or honey and nut butter if you prefer a sweet croffle. Additionally, you might use ice cream, melted chocolate, powdered sugar, preserves, or powder. For a lavish breakfast, the croffle might also be served with ham, cheese, and an egg.
Pour some maple syrup, date syrup, or honey (not older than one year) on top if you’d like. For older children and adults, garnish with whipped cream and powdered sugar to replicate the look of upscale bakeries. My favorite combination is mine with ice cream!
Croffles can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days if placed in an airtight container.
I suggest flash freezing for freezing. Once completely frozen, transfer to a bag or container that may be stored in the freezer for up to two months. In the refrigerator, thaw overnight.
Reheat in the toaster or toaster oven until crisp and heated all the way through. These work fantastically in lunch boxes!
This croffle, or croissant waffle, is delicious and simple to prepare. They may be adapted countless ways to serve as a wholesome breakfast or snack.

Since no other recipe even comes close to the original and, in my opinion, doesn’t merit the moniker “Copycat recipe,” the primary cause is wrong or missing ingredients. This recipe has been waiting patiently to be published.
Thus I’ll walk you through the process of making these hash browns in the McDonald’s way today. The best part about them is that you can prepare them ahead of time and freeze them for whenever you’re ready to cook them.
I’m not sure about you, but I consider McDonald’s hash browns among their most delicate items. They’re great in the restaurant, but I think my version is much better when it’s cooked at home!
Once you try these easy and delectable homemade hash browns, you’ll be addicted. That has certainly been the case for me. So far this week, I’ve cooked these for breakfast nearly every morning.
Making these McDonald’s hash browns at home is also great because no harmful ingredients are added, which I appreciate. My meal should not contain anything like sodium acid pyrophosphate or hydrogenated soybean oil!
The original McDonald’s hash browns don’t contain any cheese, cayenne pepper, or other additives. Still, I see most, if not all, online versions that do—missing essential flavors, such as those from beef stock and a little sugar. But don’t worry; you’re going to create something genuine.
The second item that appears to be ignored by everyone is confit cooking. Cooking anything in fat or oil at a reduced temperature is known as confit cooking. Because it changes the starch within, most restaurants “double fried” their potatoes.
As a result, it becomes even crispier when you re-fry it after chilling. Confit, indeed, yep.
Okay, to prepare these delectable McDonald’s hash browns, you just need some basic ingredients. And while this recipe calls for a few more ingredients compared to standard hash brown recipes, they are more than worth it.
Here is all you will need to prepare this simple hash browns recipe:
Since Yukon potatoes have excellent consistency, I occasionally use them to create hash browns, but any potato would work in this recipe. Because the original recipe calls for russet potatoes, I’ve included them.
Regarding the oil, McDonald’s uses a blend of rapeseed and sunflower oils. Any neutral high-heat oil, such as canola oil, avocado oil, peanut oil, or macadamia nut oil, can be used.
Once more, making a homemade hash brown that tastes like the one from McDonald’s couldn’t be simpler. To make them, you only need to follow a few simple steps. And the steps in the procedure are basically peeling, grating, straining, shaping, and frying.
You’ll find this recipe incredibly straightforward to create, even if it’s your first time cooking hash brown patties from scratch. And, to be honest, once you’ve prepared these hash browns, cooking them again and again will be simple.
Now, let’s start with the recipe and quit wasting time!
The potatoes must first be peeled and placed in a dish of cold water to prevent browning. Use a box grater’s big hole to shred the potatoes. Fill the bowl with cold water, then stir the potatoes well. Drain off the water when it becomes cloudy.
Then, move the chopped potatoes to a mesh sieve or strainer and squeeze them to remove most of their extra liquid.
To get the restaurant quality hash browns, I advise you don’t skip this step.
A non-stick skillet should be heated at low heat. Add the potatoes to the hot oil and cook them for 5 to 6 minutes. Before continuing, strain the potatoes and let them a little period of cooling.
Combine the potatoes in a bowl with the sugar, cornstarch, dry beef stock powder, salt, and pepper—Transfer 1/4 cup of the hashbrown mixture on a piece of parchment paper afterward.
Make a rectangle out of the potatoes by flattening them. Add another 2-3 tablespoons of the potatoes on top, then fold the parchment paper over the top to help create the patties.
Repeat these final two procedures with the remaining hash brown mixture until you have about four large patties.
Next, add the oil to a nonstick skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. After that, add the hashbrowns and fry them there for a few minutes on each side or until golden brown.
You are aware by now that this McDonald’s hash browns recipe yields around four patties. Don’t worry if you can’t eat them all or decide to double the recipe since they really keep nicely.
You may keep the cooked hash browns in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container. By the way, you can freeze the hash browns for up to 10 months if you want to store them for even longer. Just make sure the bag is freezer-safe. This is the approach I normally take. I usually prepare an extra batch of these McDonald’s hash browns since I like preparing and eating them so much. The excess batch is simply frozen, so it’s available anytime I need a quick side for breakfast.
In any case, I advise using parchment paper to line each patty in order to keep them from adhering or disintegrating.
The simplest method to reheat hash browns is to put them in the microwave and cook them for 20 seconds at a time until well hot.
Alternatively, you may bake your hash brown patties at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, or until they are well cooked, on a baking sheet coated with parchment paper or foil. This is the best approach if you want them to crisp back up.
