Hi Sugar,
Look below. There's a copycat recipe for peanut butter patties and another
for something like "Samoas".
Phaed
Peanut Butter Pattie Cakes
For Shortcakes:
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon cream of tarter
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup unsalted butter, chilled
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For Filling:
1 box Peanut Butter Patties Girl Scout cookies, crushed
8 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon honey
For Decoration:
4 ounces white chocolate, melted
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
Make shortcakes:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar,
cocoa, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Cut the butter into 1/2 cubes
and distribute them over the flour mixture. With a pastry blender, cut the
butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, stir
together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla. Add the milk mixture to the flour
mixture and stir to combine. The dough will be very sticky. Drop the dough
in spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes.
Make filling:
Mix cream cheese and honey in food processor until light and fluffy.
Assembly:
Cut all the shortcakes in half widthwise (like an Enlish muffin). Spread the
shortcake halves with the cream cheese mixture and top with crushed Peanut
Butter Patties Girl Scout cookies. Put all of the halves together (like a
sandwich). Drizzle melted white chocolate over the top and sprinkle with
crushed peanuts.
Makes 16 shortcakes.

Put water, veggie shortening and butter in a saucepan and heat until butter

the pastry bag w/ the dough. Cut a sheet of pastry paper or airmail letter
paper to fit the top of the saucepan you are using to cook the pastries.
Press out the dough onto the paper, making about 4 rings, each about 1 1/2
inches in diameter.
Heat olive oil and shortening to 350 degrees F on the frying thermometer.
Gently turn the paper upside down into the boiling oil. After 1/2 minute,
lift out the paper. Cook Zeppole until golden brown, turning occasionally.
Place on brown paper to drain. Continue until all are cooked. Spriinkle a
little confectioners' sugar on top. When ready to serve, fill centers w/
filling. Makes about 28. Serve 2 or 3 each person.
Filling:
1 cup ricotta
3 tbsp sugar
2 1/2 tbsp diced mixed candied fruit.
2 tbsp broken chocolate bits
2 tbsp Jamacia rum
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
Drain the cheese for 15 minutes, then mix well w/ the sugar. Add fruits and
chocolate, mix. Add rum and fold in whipped cream. Refridgerate until ready
to serve. Makes enough filling for 28 zeppole.

Hi Rosemary,
Before the Sputnik launch, these were called "golden puffs".
Phaed
Sputniks (Golden Puffs )
Ingredients
2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
Blend dry ingredients. Add oil, milk, egg. Mix well with fork. Drop by
teaspoon into hot fat (375 degrees). Fry about 3 minutes or until golden.
Drain. Roll warm puff in cinnamon sugar mixture. Spoonfuls that are too
large will make puffs doughy so be careful.
Makes: 24 to 36 puffs.
