Share your favorite recipes for the fediverse! DIY and Open Source Food you can compile for yourself!

Rules:

  1. All shared recipes should be edible and intended for human consumption.
  2. The recipe should be the upper main body of the text of the post, we all hate blog recipe websites with 7 paragraphs of a story about great aunt Fonda's favorite rubber scraper. If you must tell that story, save it for after the recipe.
  3. Recipes should be formatted to the best of your ability #-###'s make headers -'s make unorganized lists like for ingredients and to make a numbered list you just write out a number followed by a period and a space.

Ingredients:

  • ingredient 1
  • ingredient 2

Directions:

  1. direction 1
  2. direction 2
  1. Recipes should be as in line with the Open Source Food philosophy as possible. Avoid store bought or specific brands of products or using specific packages (I.e. 1 bag Kraft Cheddar) as ingredients unless necessary to the integrity of the dish. This allows a more consistently reproducible end product by a wider variety of people, and future proofs your recipes in the events that shrinkflation or product discontinuation affects availability.

Ingredients

  • 6 servings Liquid Egg Whites, room temperature
  • 1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar
  • 5-6 drops Red Food Color (you can use beet powder mixed with water to make red food coloring)
  • 36 g (6 servings) Cheddar Cheese Powder ( homemade version if preferred, here is an example: https://www.tarladalal.com/how-to-make-cheese-powder-42964r )

Flavors

You can create whatever custom cheeto you want. If you like hot cheetos, don't skip the cayenne. If you don't like hot, then skip it. Feel free to add other flavors that are not listed. It's up to what you like.

  • 1-2 tsp Paprika (optional)
  • 1-2 tsp Cayenne Pepper (optional)
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder, optional
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil with cooking spray.
  2. Use a whisk to mix your egg whites and cream of tartar on high for a few minutes until your egg whites form stiff peaks. (When you pull the whisk out, the mixture looks like mountain peaks where your whisk came out.) 
  3. Add your red food color and mix a few more seconds until uniform.
  4. Line a large bowl or shallow dish with your cheese powder and spices.
  5. Using a piping bag or sandwich bag with a corner cut off, create long, red, stick shaped egg whites onto your cheese mixture. The thinner your the hole in your bag is, the crispier these will be. If you like the puffs instead, you can make them larger, but you'll want to watch closely to make sure the outside doesn't burn before they're fully cooked.
  6. Once in the cheese and spice mixture, spoon the mixture to fully coat each stick before placing it on your baking sheet. (If your Cheetos have trouble sticking together, your egg whites probably aren't stiff enough. You can continue mixing them and retry - or go straight to the baking sheet and spoon the cheese/spice mixture on top.)
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes. (I found that spraying a tiny bit of cooking spray on the top before going in the oven reduced any burning/scorching of the spices.)
