PILLSBURY MUFFIN TIN RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Generously spray 16 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
• Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Separate each biscuit into 2 layers. Press each biscuit into 3 1/2-inch round. Cut each cheese slice into fourths to make 16 pieces.
• Place 1 cheese piece in center of each dough round, and top with 1 meatball. Gently stretch dough up and around meatball and cheese, bringing to top, and pinching firmly to seal.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave butter uncovered on High 20 to 30 seconds or until melted. Stir in bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese; mix well. Roll each biscuit in mixture, lightly pressing mixture into dough, and place pinched side down in muffin cup. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and biscuits are no longer doughy in center.
• In small microwavable bowl, add marinara sauce. Cover; microwave on High 1 to 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute, until heated through. Serve biscuits with warm sauce for dipping. Garnish with parsley and additional Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 475°F. Mix flour and salt in medium bowl. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
• Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Wrap flattened round of pastry in plastic wrap and refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
• Roll pastry, using floured rolling pin, into circle 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of pie plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate; flute as desired. Prick bottom and side of pastry thoroughly with fork.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown; cool on wire rack.
