Holiday Battle Royale 3: QuinJa Breadmen!

So "Azn Katniss" had a birthday and it's around Xmas time so I wanted to make her something cool!

Yeah, there was a gap in my blog posts as I spent a lot of time on the archery range.  Probably shot a few thousand times between September and now.  Hey, the QuinJa is a fan of archery... why be sneaky when you can hit your enemy at range?!

• 2/3 Cup Shortening (Shortening is all fat so it gives you a more firm product than butter which has some liquid in it.)
• 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar (I use the Whole Foods 365 Brand.)
• 2 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
• 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cloves
• Pinch of Salt
• 1 Egg
• 3/4 Cup Molasses
• 3 Cups Flour
• 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 Teaspoon of Baking Powder

1. Cream shortening with sugar, spices and salt.  Add egg.  Add molasses.
2. Add dry ingredients of flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
3. Put dough into the fridge to give it better consistency so you can work with it.  (Note: This is important... I was in a rush but that's why QuinJas do... we rush things and move swiftly!)
4. Bake 8-10 mins at 375F.

 

Before the QuinJa Breadmen begin their training and are tested in the fires of the oven!

My attempt to mold an archer for Azn Katniss.  She usually wears a necklace and a quiver.  Admittedly, I could have come up with a better design/decoration.

QuinJa Breadmen - it's always good to attack in groups!  Hey, it's a mano-a-mano fight, it is advantageous to bring buddies - who said the QuinJa fights fair!
