2 ingredient dough -
even amounts zero fat Greek yogurt and self-rising flour

Bowl 3-Panko with olive oil
Leave the onions thicker because the Panko is thick
Try crushed BBQ chips ?

2 ingredient dough (rolled thin) or a flour tortilla can be used for a pizza crust 360 7 min
May want to prebake the crust a bit, which would also let you prep them outside of the air fryer

Frozen FF VERSUS Homemade – 

Be sure to cut uniformly

 rinse til clean to remove starch

 soak in hot water 10 min, then dry

(Or just boil 5 min)

Spice & oil in bowl

 Cook & toss back in bowl halfway through cooking – 

helps toss better plus you can add more spice

1 1/4c. Flour / ½ t salt / ½ t baking powder

2 t olive oil / 1 t corn syrup

½ c warm water

Roll very thin

Poke w fork, prebake 5min @450, flip, top bake @450

 + small can tomato paste

 I add 4T sugar substitute

To assemble pizza-Sauce/basil/vegis/sausage/cheese/

pepperoni&bacon/oregano

Potato Skins - Cook and cool baked potatoes, microwave, oven, instant pot...
 scoop out center, being careful not to take too much
Spray and cook for 5 minutes on both sides
When crispy to your taste, add cheddar and bacon and cook approx. 5 more minutes
Try subbing Greek Yogurt for sour cream

VEGIS

Glazed carrots - *In bowl, mix small amount of butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon
Brussels sprouts can be done in basket - toss with a bit of olive oil to get spice to stick 360 20 min
Try fresh zucchini cut in half
Potatoes - cut into wedges, microwave 2 min, add spice, then air fry
Try a hasselback potato (cook it in the microwave and finish up in the air fryer)














ENTREES
Tuna steak - roll edges in black pepper/lemon pepper on top/bottom & add a lemon slice
    Shrimp - add spice to taste - cooks quickly - be sure to toss a couple times
    Chicken breast - comes out nice and moist - if only cooking 1, butterfly it to cook quicker

Wilton Sugar Cookie

1 c. butter

1 c. sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1 egg

2 tsp. baking powder

3 c. flour

This recipe is best mixed in a KitchenAidmixer –

    a hand mixer is not strong enough

This recipe makes about 3 dozen 3” cookies

Increase or change the flavoring to your taste

The dough does not need to be refrigerated before using

If you are making large or intricate cookies, you may find it

    easier to refrigerate the dough for an hour

You may need/want to add extra flour

Bake 350 for 10-11 min 375 8-9 minutes

Rotate trays halfway through baking

Glace Frosting

2lb. powdered sugar

½ c. water + extra if needed

¼ c. corn syrup  

1 tsp. clear extract of choice

I use clear butter flavoring

Make your frosting a bit thicker until you get more comfortable working with it

This frosting dries hard to the touch and soft to the bite

It takes a full 24 hours to get completely dry

Small Batch Royal Icing

2 Tbsp. Meringue powder

¼ c. water

Mix well

Add 2 c. powdered sugar

1 tsp. clear flavoring

Mix on low for 7 minutes

Royal icing can be refrigerated but it tends to separate, so it needs to be mixed well prior to using

Keep a pin handy if using very small tips in case they get clogged
