CREAM CHEESE PACKETS RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine self-rising flour and sugar in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture.
• Combine egg and next 4 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened.
• Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto a hot, lightly greased griddle. Cook pancakes until tops are covered with bubbles and edges appear cooked; turn and cook other side. Serve pancakes with warm maple syrup and, if desired, bacon.
• NOTE: 1/4 cup egg substitute, skim milk, and light cream cheese may be used. Pancake batter will be thinner and will cook faster.

Steps:

• Mix chicken, cream cheese, chives, milk, and salt in a medium bowl (mixing with hands works best) to make filling, and store in a 1 qt freezer bag.
• Put crouton crumbs in another 1 qt bag, attach it to bag of chicken filling, and freeze.
• Refrigerate crescent rolls.
• To prepare for serving, thaw chicken mixture.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Unroll crescent rolls.
• Each tube will contain 4 rectangles of dough with a diagonal perforation.
• Press dough along each perforation so the rectangle halves will not separate.
• Place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each rectangle.
• Fold dough over the filling, and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
• Dip each packet in melted margarine, and coat with crouton crumbs.
• Place packets on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Packets are good either hot or cold.
