Sweet Grit Triangles Recipes

Steps:

• Soak the mango in water for 6 to 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• With a wooden spoon, mix the butter, sugar, and spices together until creamy. Add the flour, then the almonds and, finally, the lightly drained mango and stir until combined. Set the filling mixture aside. Line the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch pan with your favorite piecrust. Perforate the crust with a fork. Spread the filling evenly over the crust and press down firmly. Sprinkle Crumble Topping evenly over the filling and pat down gently. Bake until the crumble is lightly golden, approximately 45 minutes. Cool thoroughly and then cut into 12 (3 by 4-inch) pieces. Cut each piece diagonally to form triangles.
• In medium mixing bowl, mix together dry ingredients. Cut in butter and stir until uniform.

Steps:

• Spray an 8 by 8-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a heavy saucepan over medium heat combine the milk with the orange zest. Bring to a simmer and allow to sit for a few minutes to incorporate the flavors.
• In a large bowl mix together 2/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, cornstarch, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, 2 whole eggs and 1 yolk, (reserve the egg white for breading). Temper the egg mixture by slowly whisking in about 1 cup of the hot milk. While whisking slowly pour the egg mixture into the pan with the remaining milk. Put the saucepan over medium-low heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. When the custard is very thick, about 10 minutes, pour it into the prepared baking pan. Cool in refrigerator for about 3 hours until firm.
• Remove custard from pan by inverting the baking pan onto a cutting board. Cut the custard into 4 equal squares. Cut each square diagonally to make 4 triangles per square.
• Heat the canola oil in a high sided skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
• Beat the egg white with 2 tablespoons water in a shallow pie plate. In another pie plate mix together the remaining 1/2 cup of flour, 1/4 cup cornmeal and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Dip each triangle into the egg white then into the flour mixture and fry in hot oil until golden brown all over, about 1 minute. Drain on a paper lined sheet pan. Transfer to a serving dish and serve with the strawberry sauce.
• Strawberry Sauce:
• In a blender puree the strawberries with the sugar until smooth. Pour into a small serving bowl.

Steps:

• Add the milk, grits, honey, and salt to a saucepan.
• Over medium heat, bring mixture to a boil, stirring frequently.
• Once the mixture has reached boiling, lower the heat and cook, stirring frequently, for 8-10 minutes or until thickened.
• Serve warm, topped with fruit.
