Homemade Hamlets


I loved Burger King's Hamlet sandwiches.  Then they took them off the menu.  Blah!

Only one thing to do..... make my own.

Here's how I made them:

First I needed a roll. 

 


Homemade Dinner Rolls
Mix:
1 pkg yeast (2 ¼ tsp )
¼ cup warm water
Microwave for one minute:
1 cup milk
3 Tbsp butter
Let cool until tepid.
Add to yeast mixture:
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbsp sugar
¾ tsp salt
1 cup flour
Milk and butter from above
Mix in 2 cups of flour, one cup at a time.
(For a grand total of 3 cups of flour)
Flour board. Knead 6-7 mins. Until elastic and soft and a slightly sticky ball.
Put ½ tsp of vegetable oil in bowl. Add in ball and flip to coat top with oil. Let rise. (1-1 ½ hours)
Lightly flour board. Shape into 12 rolls. Let rise 30-45 minutes on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350* 20-25 minutes until golden brown.


Then I took honey deli ham and put in aluminum foil folded in a packet with a little maple syrup drizzled over.  Just a little because once the ham warms up it will release it's yummy juices and mix with the syrup.  Producing a sweet ham.  Toss this in the oven for a few minutes until good and hot.  (Say the last 10- 15 minutes of cooking time on the rolls.)

Then scramble some eggs. 

Build your hamlets and add a slice of cheese.

Wrap in aluminum foil or place back on cookie sheet that the rolls were cooked on and top with foil and toss back in oven for a few minutes just to rewarm the roll and melt the cheese slightly.

SO GOOD!

Happy Eating!

I came up with these on the first morning that Charlie went hunting by himself. 
Zach got cinnamon rolls on his hunting day, so Charlie needed something special for his time too!
The days following this, they had to make do with pancakes.  I can't spend all my time cooking! (smile)
