* You should have 12 to 15 thin slices of unpeeled red apple for this
recipe.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cream the shortening and sugar together
and add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine
the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl, mix
lightly. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the shortening mixture. In
this order, add the oats cheddar and pecans, mixing well after each
addition. Gradually add the milk, stirring until all the ingredients are
just moistened. Grease the muffin pans and fill each cup 2/3rds full of
batter. Dip the apple slices in the melted butter and then into the
cinnamon-sugar. Press 1 apple slice into the top of each muffin. Sprinkle
lightly with cinnamon-sugar and bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven,
or until golden brown.
* Apples are to be washed and cored. Shred the unpeeled apples for
recipe. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon into
mixing bowl.
Cut in shortening with pastry blender until fine crumbs form. Combine egg
and milk. Add to dry ingredinets all at once, stirring just enough to
moisten. Stir in apples. Spoon batter into paper-lined 2 1/2-inch
muffin-pan cups, filling 2/3rds full. Sprinkle with nut crunch topping.
Bake in 375 degree oven 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot with
butter and homemade jelly or jam.
Mix together 1/4 c brown sugar (packed), 1/4 c chopped pecans and 1/2 t
ground cinnamon in small bowl.

2'nd edition Published by the Save-easy Food Stores.

minutes or until cereal is soft. Add oil and egg; mix well. Stir dry
ingredients into bran mixture only until moistened. Spoon into greased
muffin cups. Bake at 375F for 25 to 30 minutes. Yields 6 large or 12

Banana muffins
From: c2028h@ac.dal.ca
Date: 13 Nov 93 00:03:24 -0400
Somebody posted a request for banana muffins a few days ago. I
haven't been reading this group the last few days, so I don't know
if anyone else responded, but here is a recipe that I have made
successfully (therefore it is easy and hard to screw up!!):
makes 12
3 large bananas
3/4 C white sugar
1 egg
1 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 C all purpose flour
1/3 C melted butter
Mash bananas. Add sugar and slightly beaten egg and mix well.
Add the melt butter. Make a well in the middle and add the dry
ingredients. Bake at 375 (F) for 20 min.

Blueberry muffins
From: roth@binah.cc.brandeis.edu (Erica Roth)
Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1993 15:26:41 GMT
This recipe is actually from Jordan Marsh, but a former co-worker gave it to
me. I don't like blueberries, so I use the apple cinnamon substitution.
Cream butter & sugar; add eggs and mix well. Sift dry ingredients and add
to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Fold in blueberries. Pour into
paper-lined muffin pan, dividing whole batter among 12 cups, and sprinkle
with sugar. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes--sometimes takes a
bit longer if batter is rel cold from using frozen berries (don't need
to defrost them). Cool in pan.
Notes: Do not use the blueberries in heavy syrup, use butter not margarine.
If you want to use apple instead, use about 2 1/2 cups, chopped into small
pieces, and then sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar.
These muffins are HUGE and really good (and I'm not usually a muffin fan).

says they are small about equivalent to a can of beer here (NZ), about 375
mls I think but don't quote me on that. If you DO KNOW the size of a
Canadian bottle of beer please DON'T EMAIL me with the information, tell the
newsgroup!

should add a little lemon juice and some cinnamon to the batter.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Ingredients:
------------
Crepe Batter:
-------------
3/4 cup dried yellow mung beans
2 cup fresh or canned coconut milk
1 cup rice flour
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp tumeric
Instructions:
-------------
Steam the reserved mung beans for about 20 minutes, or until tender.
Allow to cool. Cover and set aside.
Note:
-----
The batter can be prepared one day ahead, and the accompaniments
assembled just before serving. The crepes can be cooked and stuffed a
few hours ahead, and reheated as needed.The use of coconut milk in this
recipe is traditional of southern Vietnamese specialties.
Traditionally, the crepe is prepared in a wok, but a good omelet pan is
fine too. Remember to stir the rice batter well before each addition to
the pan.
Prepare the Nuoc Cham and Vegetable Platter, and set aside. (See
recipes below.)
In a bowl, combine the pork and shrimp with the fish sauce, garlic,
sugar and black pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
In another bowl, combine the mushrooms, bean sprouts, onion and the
cooked mung beans. Divide the mixture into six separate mounds on a
tray.
Heat 2 tblsp of the oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the pork and
shrimp mixture and stir-fry for 2 minutes, or until the pork loses its
pink color and the shrimp turn opaque. Remove to a platter.
In a wok or an 8" nonstick omelet pan, heat 2 tblsp oil over moderately
high heat. When the oil is very hot, stir the rice batter well and pour
1/2 cup into the wok. Quickly tilt the wok to spread the mixture into a
thin pancake. Scatter 1 mound of the vegetables, 2 slices of pork and 4
pieces of the shrimp on the lower half of the pancake. Reduce the heat
to moderate. Cover the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the
bottom of the pancake is brown and crispy. Fold the pancake in half and
slide it onto a platter. Keep warm in a low oven. Repeat with the
To serve, each diner places the rice crepe with some filling on a
lettuce leaf with selected herhs from the Vegetable Platter and strands
of carrot and daikon from the dipping sauce. The bundle is rolled up,
dipped in Nuoc Cham and eaten out of hand.
Ingredients:
------------
Nuoc Cham:
----------
2 small garlic cloves, crushed
1 small fresh red chile pepper, seeded and minced
2 tblsp sugar
2 tblsp fresh lime or lemon juice
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup nuoc mam (Vietnamese fish sauce)
Instructions:
-------------
Combine the garlic, chile and sugar in a mortar and pound with a pestle
to a fine paste. Add the lime juice, vinegar, fish sauce and 1/4 cup
water. Stir to blend. (Alternately, combine all ingredients in a food
processor or blender and process for 30 seconds, until the sugar
dissolves.
Toss the carrot and daikon shreds with the sugar in a small bowl. Let
stand 15 minutes to soften the vegetables.
Vegetable Platter:
------------------
1 large head of Boston lettuce, separated into individual leaves
1 bunch of scallions, cut into 2" lengths
1 cup coriander leaves
1 cup mint leaves
1 cup fresh Asian or regular basil leaves
1 cucumber, peeled in alternating strips, halved lengthwise and
sliced crosswise
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
CREPES
======
Ingredients:
------------
2 tblsp egg replacer (or arrowroot)
1 1/2 cup water
1 cup soy milk
1 tsp salt
4 tblsp oil
2 cup flour (I use half unbleached and half whole wheat pastry)
1/2 garbanzo flour
Instructions:
-------------
Blend the egg replacer with 1/2C water until smooth. Add remaining
ingredients and blend one minute at high speed.
Heat a crepe pan or non stick 8" skillet over low heat, brush the bottom
lightly with oil (I use unrefined corn oil). When pan is heated, take
it off the burner, let cool about three seconds and pour 3-4T batter
into it. Swirl the pan so the bottom is coated with a thin layer of
batter. Put the pan back on the burner and cook until lightly browned.
Flip the crepe and cook until that side is lightly browned as well.
Repeat with remaining batter. This makes about a dozen crepes. Note
that you will inevitably screw up the first crepe or two, but it will
become fairly routine after that. Don't worry about it, I still do that
after all these years.
Stuffing:
---------
3/4 cup wild rice, uncooked
2 3/4 cups stock (I like a light, mushroom intensive stock for this)
1/4 medium onion, minced
Instructions:
-------------
Saute the onion in a little dry white wine for a minute or two, then add
wild rice and stock, cover tightly, bring to a boil, turn heat to low
and cook about an hour, until all liquid is absorbed.
While the rice cooks, saute celery in oil until slightly tender, add
onions and all mushrooms, and saute until all vegs are medium tender.
Add cooked rice, tomato and seasoning and cook another ten minutes or
so. Fill crepes with the mixture, roll them over it and heat in a
preheated oven at 350 for about ten minutes.
Serve with Nutty Almond Sauce (below) and garnsih with parsley and a
twisted orange slice.
Instructions:
-------------
Toast almonds until golden, then pulverize. (Don't overgrind or you'll
get almond butter.)
Heat oil a few minutes in a heavy bottomed skillet, then stir in flour
and cook 2-3 minutes on low, until fragrant. Stir in soy milk and
continue to stir until it begins to thicken, then stir in seasonings.
Cover and cook 10 more minutes, but stir often to prevent scorching.
Stir in almonds and cook another 4-5 minutes.
Serve with a simple spinach salad with mustard vinaigrette and French
bread, along with a chilled white wine.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Ingredients:
------------
4 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tblsp melted butter or margarine
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tblsp sugar
dash of salt
4 cups seasonal fruits or berries (peach chunks, strawberries,
blueberries, etc.)
Instructions:
-------------
Whisk or process all ingredients except fruits together until smooth.
Let stand 1/2 hour to let bubbles escape; stir before using.
Lightly oil crepes pan and heat over medium-high heat. Pour 1/4 cup
batter into hot pan and immediately tip to coat entire bottom. Place on
burner and cook until edges begin to brown and batter loses its shine.
To serve, fill each crepe with 1/3 cup seasonal fruit or berries, roll
and top with 1 tablespoon of raspberry coulis.
Note: These can be served in just a few minutes when you make the crepes
ahead of time and freeze them.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Ingredients:
------------
1/2 cup flour
1 egg
1 yolk
1/4 cup each milk and water
1 1/2 tblsp melted butter
1 tblsp kirsch, orange liqueur, bourbon, or rum
1 tblsp sugar
pinch of salt
Instructions:
-------------
For a main course crepe, I like combinations of chicken, ham, crab meat,
spinach, broccoli, fresh peas, asparagus in a cream or cheese sauce.
As for party ideas, we have had sushi parties. We have stuck with
California Roll-type makizushi. If you have a reputable source for
*very* fresh fish, there's no reason you couldn't go all out. It's not
that hard to get the hang of it and it's very good. Guests can try
making their own or you can do most of the preparation ahead of time.
Note:
-----
For dessert crepe fillings, I like reduced orange syrup (oranges, sugar,
a little water) topped with almonds. Also caramalized fruit (pear,
apple, banana) topped with whipped cream or ice cream. (There is a
different batter for dessert crepes.)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
mara
Servings: 4
Grate raw potatoes into water to which lemon juice has been added.
Place potatoes in a strainer or cheese cloth and drain off liquid. Drain
well.
Beat raw and cooked potatoes with egg, milk, and salt to form a batter.
Using 3 tb oil for each batch, drop batter for 3 or 4 pancakes at a time in
hot oil in a large frypan. When firm on the bottom side, loosen edges and
turn. Brown on other side. Remove, drain on paper towel, and keep warm.
amyl
I improvised these last night, and the experiment turned out surprisingly well.
8 dessert crepes
1 tbsp. butter
1 1/2 tbsp. sugar
juice and finely grated zest of one lemon
2 tbsp. Grand Marnier
2 tbsp. brandy
Melt the butter in a heavy pan. Add sugar and lemon juice and zest
(taste at this point and adjust for desired sweetness/sourness). Add
Grand Marnier and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, fold crepes in fourths,
and arrange in sauce. Spoon sauce over crepes.
Warm the brandy (10 seconds in the microwave works) and place in a
long-handled metal ladle. Ignite the brandy and pour over crepes while
flaming.

BASIC PANCAKES
==============
Ingredients:
------------
2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt (very important)
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs (or equivalent egg beaters)
2 tblsp oil
1 cup milk
Instructions:
-------------
Sift (I never do) dry ingredients in bowl and stir in liquid ingredients
with wire whisk or spoon until mixed. Do not beat. Rub griddle or fry
pan with oil. Heat until water dropped from your hand bounces around.
Drop about 1/2 ladel/1 large mixing spoon for each pancake. Cook until
bubbled all over the top and brown on bottom. Flip, cook until brown on
other side. Keep you griddle very hot at all times.
Variations:
-----------
1. Substitute 1 cup whole wheat flour for white flour.
2. Substitute buttermilk for whole milk and 1 tsp baking SODA for 1/2
tsp baking powder.
3. Put some pecan or walnut pieces in with your dry ingredients (this
keeps them from sinking). Or put in some blueberries .. also with dry
ingredients.
4. Increase your eggs. This will make them a little more like a crepe.
Top with sliced apples, brown sugar and cinnamon and fold in half.

BEER-BATTER MIX
===============
Ingredients:
------------
1 (12 oz) can warm beer
2-1/2 cups pancake mix
oil for deep frying
Instructions:
-------------
Combine beer with pancake mix in a large mixing bowl. Mixture should be
the consistency of pancake batter. Heat oil to 3750. When the oil is
fully heated, drop batter-dipped fish/shrimp/vegetable/etc. into oil.
Cook til golden brown. Remove the cooked pieces to a plate lined with
papper towels which will absorb excess oil. *Try different combinations
of brand beers and pancake mixes.

CHURROS
=======
(about 15 or so)
Ingredients:
------------
1 cup water
1/2 tblsp oil
dash salt
1 cup flour
(oil for frying; granualted sugar for sprinkling)
Instructions:
-------------
Bring water, oil, and salt to boil in a saucepan. Add the flour all at
once, reduce heat, then stir (vigorously) with a wooden spoon until it
forms a ball. Let cool at bit, then put into a pastry bag with 1/2 in.
star tip. Heat 1/2 in. oil for frying. Squeeze dough into oil in 4 in
strips. (Do a few at a time.) When golden on one side, turn over. Drain
on paper towels, then sprinkle in sugar.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Ingredients:
------------
equal amounts of pancake mix and cornmeal
enough water to desired consistency
Note:
-----
When you dip your hotdogs in the batter, make sure the end is covered
with batter (no hotdog showing) or the batter will "peel" off the dog in
the grease.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
CORN PANCAKES
=============
Ingredients:
------------
1 regular sized can of creamed corn
6 eggs
12 saltine-type crackers crunched up (about a pencil eraser diameter)
Instructions:
-------------
Whisk together and fry like pancakes. Eat with butter, salt & pepper.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Ingredients:
------------
3 eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tblsp butter, melted
2 tblsp lemon juice
confectioner's sugar
Instructions:
-------------
Butter either one 12" ovenproof skillet, or four 6" ovenproof skillets
(pie or cake pans may be substituted). Beat the eggs until thoroughly
mixed. Add the milk and blend well. Sift together flour and salt, and
add slowly but continuously to the egg mixture, whisking as you do so.
Add the melted butter, and whisk til batter is smooth. Pour into pan or
pans and bake at 450 for 15 minutes.
The four small German babies will be done at this point. The one large
one requires another 10 minutes of baking, with the oven reduced to 350.
After removing from the oven, sprinkle with the lemon juice and dust
with confectioner's sugar. Serve at once while hot.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Ingredients:
------------
1/3 cup margarine/butter
4 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
dash fresh nutmeg
Instructions:
-------------
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In large, heavy, round pan w/sides approx. 2-2 1/2inches high (I use a
paella pan) place margarine in pan and into oven to melt. While
margarine is melting, blend the eggs in your blender for 1 minute (or
until light yellow if by hand). While motor is running, slowly add milk
then flour. Add nutmeg if desired. Pour over melted margarine and bake
for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffy. Serve immediately.
I got this recipe out of a Sunset magazine many years ago and we
probably have it about twice a month. I typed it in from memory so I
hope the directions are clear.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
PANCAKES
========
Ingredients:
------------
2 cups flour (I use all whole wheat; 50/50 whole wheat and
unbleached white; 66/33 w.w. and buckwheat or cornmeal --
If you use cornmeal, add some cooked corn kernels too)
2 tblsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt
3 eggs
2 cups milk
0.5 cup oil or butter (melted)
0.25-0.5 cup honey or molasses (or 1-2 T brown sugar)
Instructions:
-------------
I assemble with a blender -- eggs first, then the rest of the liquids,
and then the salt and baking powder. I put the flour in a bowl and add
the liquids, stir for 20 seconds or so -- not too much. Cook on a
medium hot griddle until the bubbles pop and don't fill in, then turn.
If you want a lighter pancake, you can separate the eggs and beat the
whites, then fold in at the end of the mixing.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
PANCAKES
========
(makes ca. 8 4" ones)
Ingredients:
------------
1 cup loosely packed flour
1 tblsp baking powder
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 tblsp oil (canola seems to be the healthiest)
Instructions:
-------------
1. Whisk flour and baking powder (I sift 'em together, but if you don't
have a sifter, no problem).
2. Whisk egg, oil, milk and water together (seems to mix better if mix
egg, oil and milk first, then add water).
3. Stirring liquid, slowly whisk in flour and baking powder mix. Don't
over whisk, as this'll toughen the pancakes. A few lumps are okay.
Slowing adding flour and baking power mix makes this step a bit easier.
5. Stack for a minute or two when done so the tops warm so butter will
melt. Stack too long, and they'll get soggy.
Make sure water sizzles on it and small drops evaporate in just a few
seconds.
The pancakes should get quite brown (actually close to black) when on
the griddle for just a few minutes (2 or 3?) and the edges on the top
should thicken. A few bubbles should form on the middle of the top.
I cooked 'em at too low a temperature for years and a hot griddle really
helps I've found; don't worry if you incinerate a few in the process of
figuring out the correct setting on your stove; that's what kitchen
trash cans are for.
After mixing liquid and powder, let sit for 5 or 10 minutes and mix no
more you'll see it rise a bit and bubbles form).
The water/milk as opposed to all milk ingredients helps here too (got
this from Usenet's rec.food.cooking).
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Ingredients:
------------
500 gr wheat flour
1 l milk
4 medium eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tblsp oil
1 tsp sugar
Instructions:
-------------
It can be hand mixed or put in a blender. For a blender, combine all
ingredients and blend. Hand method: Put flour in a bowl, make a little
hole in the middle. Pour in some milk in the hole and start stirring.
gradually pour in all milk, making a smooth batter. mix in the eggs,
one by one, add salt, sugar and oil and mix again until the batter is
smooth and not lumpy. The pancakes should be baked in a large wide
frying pan (a french crepe pan is ok too) preferably in butter (or oil,
if you don't like cholesterol). The butter should be very hot. Pour in
some batter (about 2 or 3 tabelspoons) and bake. Turn the pancake when
the upper surface is dry and bake the reverse side for approx. the same
amount of time.
You can use anythind you like as a filling, use your imagination.
Savoury pizzatype fillings are nice and can be put on top of the pancake
after it's baked.
Classic fillings are bacon and syrup pancakes and apple pancakes. For
the baconpancakes you have to fry the bacon first and then pour over the
batter. They are served with dutch syrup, which has a thicker
consistancy than american syrup. Here in Australia they sell cane
molasses, and that tastes almost the same as dutch pancake syrup.
Apple pancakes the same : first bake some fine chunks of apple and pour
over the batter. These pancakes are great with applesyrup, but I'm not
sure that't available in the States. Normal syrup or sugar and cinnamon
will do as well I reckon.
My favourite is a pancake with bacon and salami and syrup, but I think
that's an acquired taste.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
POPOVERS
========
Ingredients:
------------
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 cup flour
3/4 tsp salt
1 tblsp butter or oil
Instructions:
-------------
Mix ingredients together, put in cupcake cups, popover pan, or pryex
cups bake at 375 degrees F for for 40-45min.
This recipe suggests that after 40mins, removing the popovers form the
oven, cut a slit in each one to let the steam out the returning them too
the oven for 10min or until tops are very firm and crisp brown.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Ingredients:
------------
1.5 kg potatoes (a sort that stays "hard" - not the one you use for
mashed potatoes)
1 big onion
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
a bit flour (Buchweizen (wheat flour or oat flakes)
Oil
Instructions:
-------------
Grate the potatoes over a sieve, so that the water can leave. Don't use
a to fine grater, you don't want to make mashed potatoes.
Grate the onions fine on the grater and put them to the potatoes, like
the other ingredients and mix them carefully.
Depending on how wet the dough is, put some flour or oat flakes to it,
so that you get a not to solid dough.
Put oil into a pan and when it is really hot, take with a (soap) spoon
abit from the dough and put it into the pan and push it to a flat cake.
They have to be "golden" from both sides (you have to turm them after
awhile) - the border of that pancake has to be real crisp.
Eat them hot to (or on) a slice of bread (Schwarzbrot (that is dark
bread)) with butter and put Ruebenkraut (sugar-root syrup) or Apfelkraut
(apple syrup) on it.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Ingredients:
------------
2 cups dry mung beans
3/4" cube of peeled, fresh ginger root.
Instructions:
-------------
Soak mung beans overnight to soften. The next day, mung beans must be
ground, so drain the beans to prepare for grinder. Grinding can be done
in a food processor or a blender. If in a food processor, do the whole
batch of beans and multply the other ingredients by 4. If in a blender,
do 1 cup of beans at a time with the amount of the other ingredients as
listed _per_batch_. Whether in a blender or a food processsor, first
drop chunk of ginger root in and allow it to get chopped up. Add
soaked, drained mung beans and run machine till beans are fairly ground
up (in a blender you can only do 1 cup at a time to avoid burning out
the motor.) Add the next six ingredients and grind to a smooth, fluffy
paste. The batter is now ready to be made into pancakes, which takes
mastering a light touch on the spoon. Just remember --- practice makes
perfect.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over a medium flame and pour 1/2 to
1 teaspoon of oil into the skillet or griddle. With a spoon, mix batter
thoroughly (batter must be mixed before each pancake is poured because
it separates very quickly) and scoop out 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter. Pour
batter into the middle of the skillet and place the rounded bottom of a
broad spoon very lightly in the center of the batter. Then use a slow,
gentle and continuous spiral motion to spread the batter outward with
the back of the soup spoon untill the pancake is about 7" to 8" in
diameter. If batter is sticking to the spoon and making holes in the
pancake as you spread, you are either pressing too hard or you didn't
begin pressing soon enough and the batter was semi-cooked before you
attempted to spread it. Just try to spread with the spoon immediately
and lighten the touch.
Cover and cook for 2 minutes, or till the pancake turns a reddish-brown
color. Remove cover and drizzle a tiny bit of oil over the pancake.
Flip to cook on other side and cook uncovered till reddish spots begin
appearing on the second side. Continue cooking all the batter in the
same way.
Thesse are delicious served plain with side dishes of vetables, chutneys
and yogurt; or you may want to stuff the pancake by placing filling
inside and folding it over to form a turnover shape. This recipe makes
18 to 20 pancakes.

SCHMARRN
========
Ingredients:
------------
3 large eggs
1/4 cup milk (actually, a 1/3 cup might be better)
1/4 cup flour
salt & pepper to taste.
Maple Syrup to drown
Instructions:
-------------
Wisk (with wire wisk) all ingredience (starting with eggs) together
until very smooth (no lumps). The mixture should have the consistency
of heavy cream.
Add about a table spoon each of butter/oil to a largish fry pan and let
melt/heat up. About medium/high. If you don't have a large fry pan you
may have to make two batches. By large, I mean about 10-12 inches
across.
Pour mixture in all at once. As the sides start to set, push the set
parts into the center so that more of the liquid pours into the "canal"
and has a chance to set also. Cut/Push "openings" into the batter to
expose pan surface and swish the liguid into that so it can set.
etc....
When most of it has set and there is only a very little liquid left (it
should still be a "whole" piece the size of the pan at this point) I cut
it into four and flip each section over. I then wait a few seconds and
then start cutting up everything so that it resembles scrambled eggs.
The goal is to have small, thick (1/4 inch?), bite sized pieces when
you're done. (The best tool for this is a stiff spatula/egg flipper :-)
After its cut up, stir and cook it for a while. Don't be afraid of over
cooking it. I never have so far. You want it "browned" somewhat. I
eat it with maple surrup poured over top but have had it with jam mixed
in. Anything sweet would do, I imagine.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Ingredients:
------------
1/4 cup warm water

Sift together dry ingredients. Combine milk, egg yolks, butter and pumpkin
puree. Stir into dry ingredients until just blended. Beat egg whites
until stiff and fold into batter. Pour onto hot, oiled griddle, about
1/3 cup at a time. Cook until tops bubble and turn and cook other side.

Grate the potatoes over a sieve, so that the water can leave.
Don't use a to fine grater, you don't want to make mashed potatoes.
Grate the onions fine on the grater and put them to the potatoes,
like the other ingredients and mix them carefully.
Depending on how wet the dough is, put some flour or oat flakes
to it, so that you get a not to solid dough.
Put oil into a pan and when it is really hot, take with a (soap)
spoon abit from the dough and put it into the pan and push it to
a flat cake.
They have to be "golden" from both sides (you have to turm them
after awhile) - the border of that pancake has to be real crisp.

10 big potatoes
2 - 3 spoons wheat flour
2 eggs
salt
some slices of ham (not the cooked ham)
250 g dried plums (something like raisins but made of plums)
2 - 3 smoked sausages
Grate the potatoes and mix them with the flour and the eggs
and the salt (not to much - because of the smoked sausages and
the ham).
Take a castiron pot, put the ham slices in it and melt them out,
after that take the slices out.
Now fill layer potatoes in the pot, then a layer dried plums,
again potatoes, then slices from the smoked sausage and again
potatoes.
You can eat it warm or later cut in slices and baked in a pan
or cold with Apfelkraut (apple syrup).

Eifeler Scholes (Eifler Scholes :-) you can not translate it I guess)
The eifel is an area in Germany (where the famous Nuerburg Ring is,
something like hmmm the Hockenheim Ring or Daytona ( ;-) ), where
car and motorbikes races are) between Luxemburg, Belgium, Holland
and the rhine area (Cologne, Bonn).
1.5 kg potatoes
3 rolls
50 g durchwachsener Speck (that is ham that is "red and white"
red from the meat - and white from the fat)
It is here abit smoked
1 little onion
4 eggs
salt
pepper
Put the rolls into water, so that they soak water and
press them out.
Mix that all together (potatoes, ham and the mashed rolls)
with the eggs.
Put the dough in a form (like the one you use for lasagne
for example), which is greased with butter, and put it for
90 minutes into the oven (180 Celsius) untill it is "golden"
on the top.

Bagels (Dawn Scotting)
Ingredients:
------------
1 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp flour
2/3 cup lukewarm water
2 eggs
2 sachets (1 1/2 Tbsp) dry yeast
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 cups flour
2 Tbsp sugar extra
1 1/2 tsp salt
Poaching Liquid:
----------------
16 cups water
2 Tbsp sugar
Glaze:
------
1 egg yolk
1 Tbsp water
poppy or sesame seeds
Instructions:
-------------
In a large bowl, combine sugar, 1 Tbsp flour & water, sprinkle in yeast
& stand until frothy (2 mins). Stir in eggs & oil. Mix 1 cup flour,
extra sugar & salt into yeast mixture. Beat with wooden spoon until
smooth. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface & knead until smooth & elastic
(about 10 mins). Place in a greased bowl, turn dough over in the bowl
to grease all over. Cover with plastic wrap, stand in a warm place to
rise (prove) for 1 hour or until doubled in size & imprint remains when
dough is pressed. Punch down dough using fist, knead for 2 mins.
Divide into 12 equal portions. Shape each piece into a ball (keep dough
covered with plastic wrap while shaping). Poke finger through centre of
each ball. Twirl around finger to form a ring. Place on floured oven
tray & cover. Allow to rise for 15 mins. Bring water to the boil in a
large pan. Add sugar. Place half the bagels into the water, cook 1
min. Turn, cook for 1 min longer. Using a slotted spoon, remove bagels
to a greased baking tray lined with greased foil. Cook remaining half
of bagels in poaching liquid. Combine egg yolk & water. Brush over
bagels. Sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds. Bake in a hot oven
(400oF) for 25 mins or until golden. Cool on a wire rack. Makes 12.
This recipe, in it's original form, came from Bernard Clayton's Complete
book of breads. (Originally titled "Jo Goldenbergs Bagels"). I have
since modified it a bit (doubled it) and have typed this in from memory.
I can't say enough good things about his book though.
Ingredients:
------------
6 cups of High Gluten Flour* + 1 cup for sprinkling
2 packages of yeast
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbls salt
3 cups hot water (120-130 deg.)
3-4 quarts boiling water w/1 1/2 tablespoon of sugar added
1 egg white + 1 tablespoon cold water
Note:
-----
* High Gluten flour is the secret here! Gluten Flour creates a much
sturdier dough which allows it to stand up to the rigors of most
commercial mixers. It creates a much chewier product, whether it be a
bagel, pizza, or bread. I buy a 50lb sack at my local pizzeria for
$10.00. It lasts me about 3 months... I understand the same product
can be bought in a regular supermarket called "Bread Flour" *NOT* "all
Mixing:
-------
In a large bowl, add 6C flour, and the rest of the dry ingredients.
Mix. Add the 3 cups of hot water. (Be careful that the water isn't any
hotter or you'll kill the yeast-err towards the cooler side). Mix for
as long as you can with a sturdy wooden spoon until it seems like you're
going to crack it!
Kneading:
---------
Turn the dough out of your bowl onto your (dry) work surface. Scrape
anything clinging to the bowl and just add it to that big old nasty
dough blob. Start kneading. Knead for 10 minutes, adding sprinkles of
flour to control stickiness. The dough will come together. It's OK if
the dough is slightly tacky in the end...just not totally sticky. As
you become more experienced with dough making, you can avoid the dough
clinging to your hands and counter.. Try to clean the counter with the
dough.
First Rise:
-----------
Form dough into a ball. Place in a bowl greased with vegetable
shortening. Turn the dough around in the bowl once or twice just to get
the ball covered with a little shortening. Cover tightly with saran
wrap. Let rise for about an hour in a warm place until the dough ball
has doubled in size. (If using Rapidrise yeast, you can cut the rise
time in half). Get the 3-4 quarts of water w/sugar slowly boiling at
this stage.
Forming:
--------
When the dough has sufficiently risen, turn it out of the bowl onto a
floured work surface. Press the air out of the dough with extended
fingers. With a dough blade & a scale, cut dough into 4-5 oz segments.
(I usually get about 12 segments). Roll each into a smooth ball and let
them relax for a few minutes. With the palm of your hand, flatten each
ball somewhat. Take each flattened dough and poke a hole right in the
center with your finger. With the same motion that you would use if you
were rolling a rubber band on your two index fingers, pull the hole
open. Try to concentrate on keeping the bagel uniform in thickness. It
should quickly look like a bagel, sort of. Place 'em close together on
the counter, cover loosly with the saran wrap you just used before to
cover the bowl, and let rise for about 10 minutes. Preheat your oven to
400 degrees F.
Boiling:
--------
Drop 3-4 bagels into the boiling water, or as many as you can fit
without crowding them. (If the bagel holes have closed up, you may
gently pull them open again before you drop them in the water). Try to
keep the water at a rolling boil. Boil for about 3 minutes, flipping
them over in the water every 30 seconds or so. Place bagels on a towel
to drain for a few minutes. Repeat until all bagels have been boiled.
Place bagels on baking sheets which have been greased with vegetable
shorting. You can sprinkle cornmeal on it too. I have my best success
with insulated baking sheets... Spread bagels out as much as possible.
Toppings:
---------
With a BBQ brush, paint each bagel with egg white/water wash. (I beat
this egg wash with a wisk slightly before application, which breaks down
any big snotty strands). Sprinkle poppy seeds on a few. Sprinkle
sesame seeds on a few. Leave a few plain. Kosher salt or Fresh minced
Garlic work well too. Ok, wanna get weird, put M&M's on 'em!!!! I
don't care ;-)
Baking:
-------
Place baking sheets in oven and bake @ 400 for 25-30 minutes. 2 or 3
times during the baking process, rotate the sheets in the oven to
compensate for any oven temperature irregularities. (If using a
convection oven, you can reduce the temperature by 25 degrees or so).
(the original recipe suggests that you flip each bagel upsidedown
halfway through the baking stage. This apparently helps get rid of the
"flat bottom". I don't do this because I simply don't give a sh*t ;-) )
Serving Suggestion:
-------------------
Serve each half toasted with a thick layer of Cream Cheese, Nova Scotia
lox, slices of ripe Jersey Tomatoes, and a thin slice of Bermuda
onion.... Obviously!
Or: Cut them in half and freeze while still warm. (Every morning, I
defrost one in the microwave for 27 seconds, then toast!)
Ingredients
-----------
1 package gradular yeast (dry)
2 cups warm water
1/4 cup natural-flavored instant malted milk powder
2 tbls sugar
2/3 tbls salt
5 3/4 cups unsifted white flour
Water bath:
-----------
2 quarts water
2 tbls natural-flavored malted milk powder
1 tbls sugar
Instructions:
-------------
1. Place yeast in a warm bowl and add the water, stirring to dissolve.
Add malted milk powder and sugar and stir until dissolved. Add salt and
flour all at once. Work the dough with fingers and hands, kneading into
a stiff dough. Or use a mixer equipped with a dough hook.
2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead until
smooth. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in an ungreased bowl.
Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until double in
bulk.
5. Punch the dough down and divide into 16 equal portions. Roll each
portion into a ball. Pierce the center of each ball with thumb and
index finger. Using fingers, shape each ball into a ring like a
doughnut.
6. If the water bath is boiling, turn off the heat. When the bagels
are dropped into it, the water should be just below the boiling point.
7. Drop the bagel rounds into the just-under-boiling water and let them
cook for about 20 seconds on each side. Remove the rounds from the
water using a slotted spoon.
8. Place the bagel rounds on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for
The dough used for bagels is basically a bread dough recipe. The secret
is that you boil the bagels before baking them in the oven.
Ingredients:
------------
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp salt
3 tsp sugar
2 tsp vegetable oil
2 tsp yeast
1 egg
1 cup warm water
Instructions:
-------------
In a bowl put the warm water, yeast and sugar. Let stand for 10 minutes
until the yeast is working. Add the salt, egg, oil and flour and stir
everything together. Dump the dough out on a floured board and knead
until everything is of one consistancy. (Exactly like making bread).
Put the dough into a warm bowl and put (covered) in a draft-free place
for about 1 and 1/2 hours or until the dough has doubled in size. Punch
down the dough and divide it into 20 pieces. Shape each piece into a
ball. Then roll each ball into a rope (like you would plasticine) about
7 inches long. Press the two ends of the "rope" together to give you
the basic bagel shape. Put the bagels on a floured board, cover with a
tea towel, and leave for about an hour to rise. During the last part of
the rising time, put a pot on the stove and fill it with boiling water.
Also turn the oven on to 375 Degrees F. Dump about 5 bagels at a time
into the boiling water. They will fall to the bottom of the pot and
then rise. When they rise turn them over. Boil them for a total
(including time at bottom of pan) of 2 minutes. Lift the bagels out of
the water with a slotted spoon and leave them to drain while you do
remaining bagels. Put all the bagels on a cookie sheet and put them in
the oven to bake for about 15 minutes (Until they turn brown). Enjoy.
Vegan Bagels
Instructions:
-------------
The water I use is actually hot water. I turn the tap and let it go
almost as hot as it can get. It needs to be fairly warm to activate the
yeast. I was always paranoid about killing the yeast and used water
that was too cold and so the dough didn't rise enough. So go ahead and
use hot water. Add the yeast to the water with 3 tablespoons of sugar
and stir it around a little. In about 30 seconds the whole thing should
start to foam. If it doesn't you probably didn't use hot enough water.
At this point I diverge from the recipe. The recipe has all sorts of
complicated instructions about 10 minutes rest etc etc. I just divide
the dough into bagel shapes starting with a ball of dough then poking a
hole in the middle. Then I let it sit for about 45 minutes until it has
risen. The bagels should be nice and puffy. If you were to bake the
bagels now you would get bagels with the consistancy of bread. But we
all like chewy bagels. So the trick is to boil the bagels. So heat up
some water to boiling and drop the bagels in and boil each side for
about 3 mins.
The recipe says to use x amount of water with sugar in it. I don't
bother. So really I only use the 3 tablespoons of sugar. Or a little
more if I want my bagels sweet. Drain the bagels on paper towels (or
don't bother). And bake them until they are brown at 375 degrees for
about 25-30 mins. If you like the glossy sheen use eggs to coat the
outside. Otherwise they are kind of ugly.
By the way... when I make french bread I use a pan of water in the
oven and it makes the french bread chewey. I was thinking that
I could do this with the bagels too. Use a cup or 2 of boiling water
in a pan while the bagels bake. The french bread gets chewey so I
would think the bagels would too. I'll have to try it next time.

Barbari bread is a flat 1 - 1 1/2 inch thick loaf. It may be round or oval
shaped.
Dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm water. Add sugar and set aside for 10
minutes. Pour yeast mixture in large bowl or food processor, add 2 cups
warm water, and salt--mix well. Gradually add flour while stirring
constantly. After 6 cups flour have been added, knead by hand, add the
rest of the flour if needed until the dough is not sticky.
Pour oil in a large bowl and place dough in bowl. Cover with a clean damp
towel and let rise 4 hours in warm dark place without moving. Punch air
out while dough is in the bowl. Flip dough over and return to bowl.
Cover with new damp towel and allow to rise 2 hours.
Place cookie sheet in center of oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Divide
dough into 11 parts, each piece about 5 inches in diameter. Dust a tray
with corn meal and place loaves on tray. With damp hands, press
fingertips into each loaf, then sprinkle tops with sesame seeds.
Put loaves on the cookie sheet, corn meal side down, and bake sesame side
for 8 miuntes in closed oven. Turn bread over and bake corn meal side
down for 4 minutes in closed oven. Remove loaves from oven. Cover with
clean towel, serve hot or wrap in foil and freeze(toast before serving.)
amyl
Sponge:
1 envelope (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water (105 to 110)
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
Dough:
3/4 cup coarsely ground whole wheat flour
1 cup warm water (105 to 110)
1 tablespoon coarse salt
About 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg white, lightly beaten
Sesame seeds, poppy seeds, cracked wheat or flour, for topping (optional)
Make the sponge about 12 hours ahead: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast
in 1/4 cup of the warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the
remaining 1 1/4 cups water and the flour, beating by hand or in a mixer
with a dough hook for 1 minute. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let
the sponge stand at room temperature for 12 to 14 hours.
Make the dough: Stir the whole wheat flour, warm water, salt and about 4
cups of the all-purpose flour into the sponge until the dough becomes
hard to work, then turn it out onto a well-floured surface. Let the dough
rest while you clean the bowl. Now start kneading, slapping the dough
around, scraping it up, gradually adding about 1 1/2 cups more all-purpose
flour and kneading until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes.
Return the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise at
room temperature until almost triped in volume, about 2 hours.
Turn the dough out again onto a floured surface, punch it down, and tear
off a small hunk (6 ounces) to reserve for the levain (see Note).
Divide the remaining dough in half and shape each piece into a 1 1/2 inch
thick disk. With the palms of your hands, coax the sides of each disk
down and under all around, stretching the gluten cloak and plumping up
each loaf into a round shape. Pinch together the seams on the bottom
and place the rounds seam-side down on 2 lightly greased baking sheets.
Cover loosely with a towel and let rise until doubled in volume, about
1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 450F. Paint the top and sides of the risen loaves
with the beaten egg white to glaze. Sprinkle, if you wish, with one of
the toppings and place on the middle rack of the oven. Immediately throw
a few ice cubes on the oven floor to create steam. Add more ice after 3
minutes and again after 6 minutes. Bake for a total of 15 minutes. Then
reduce the oven temperature to 350F and bake for 20 minutes longer, or
until the bread sounds hollow when the bottom is tapped. Turn the oven
off and let the bread rest in the hot oven for 15 minutes. Remove to a
rack and let cool.
Note: Put the hunk of reserved dough (about 6 ounces) in a covered jar with
1 1/2 cups of warm water. This is the levain, which will go into the next
loaf. Let stand at room temperature for 12 hours, then refrigerate. The
levain will keep for up to 10 days; freeze for longer storage.

My own comment: don't be fooled by that "knead until smooth" stuff. It gets
smooth VERY quickly, it comes out smooth before you even knead it! So knead
the heck out of it or it won't rise.

Ingredients:
2 pkgs yeast
6 cups flour (5 for microwave)
1 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
2 cups milk
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup water
cornmeal
Directions:
Combine 3 cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and soda. Heat liquids until very
warm (120-130 F). Add to dry mixture; beat well. Stir in rest of flour to
make a stiff batter. Spoon into 2 loaf pans that have been greased and
sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover; let rise in warm place for 45 minutess.
Bake at 400 F for 25 minutes. Remove from pans immediately and cool.
Or: microwave each loaf on High for 6 minutes 30 seconds. Allow to rest 5
minutes before removing from pans.
Notes:
My favorite way to eat this bread is in thick slices lightly broiled with
lots of butter (or margarine) and cinnamon-sugar mixture.

If you are ever near Nashville Ind. it is a great place to to get a meal.
My wife and I will drive an hour and a half a couple of times a year just
for these Biscuits.
This recipe will make about seven doz biscuits. They can be frozen
individually and stored in plastic bags. When you work them up, don't let
the biscuits rise too hight the fat should be slightly hotter thatn 350
degrees F. If the fat should be too hot, the biscuits will be soggy in the
center.

3 Malt Recipes
From: Melanie Harper tcsmhz@aie.lreg.co.uk
Date: Tue, 3 Aug 93 12:32:12 BST
Here are three recipes all of which use malt. The first is my mother-in-law's
recipe for malt loaf (sorry, I don't know where she got it from). It is a
lighter and firmer loaf than is usually sold in supermarkets, although it
is still very nice. The second and third are both from the Good Housekeeping
Cookery Encyclopaedia -- one is for a yeasted malt bread, and one is for a malt
loaf which looks as though it should be much like the UK supermarket variety.
8 oz self-raising flour
1/2 level tsp salt
1/2 level tsp bicarbonate of soda
3 oz fruit (preferably sultanas)
1 egg
3 oz golden syrup
2 tbsp malt extract
Sieve all the dry ingredients. Melt the syrup and malt together (over a low
heat). Beat the egg and mix all together. Put in greased loaf tin, bake
approx. 40 minutes on gas 3-4, 160 - 180 C.
Malt Bread
----------
1 oz fresh yeast
OR (1 tbsp dried yeast and 1 tsp caster sugar)
1/4 pint tepid water (approx)
1 lb plain flour
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp malt extract
1 tbsp black treacle
1 oz butter or margarine
Sugar & water to glaze (optional)
Blend yeast into water, adding sugar if using dried yeast. Mix flour and salt.
Warm the malt, treacle and fat until just melted. Stir both sets of wet
ingredients into the dry ingredients -- they should form a soft, sticky dough
(add more water if needed). Knead on floured board until firm and elastic.
Divide into two, shape into oblongs, roll up like Swiss roll [No, I do not know
why] and put into two prepared 1lb loaf tins. Leave to rise until the dough
fills the tins (this may take quite a while, anywhere up to 90 minutes). Bake
30 - 40 minutes, 200 C, 400 F, gas mark 6. Glaze with sugar and water if
liked.
8 oz plain flour
pinch of salt
2 tbsp soft brown sugar
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
5 oz seedless raisins
2 oz golden syrup
2 tbsp malt
approx 1/4 pt milk
Grease and line a loaf tin (about 8.5" x 4.5" top dimension). Sieve the dry
ingredients, add the raisins. Melt the malt and syrup in half the milk. Make a
well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the malt mixture. Add more
milk as necessary to give a sticky, soft consistency. Pour into tin and bake
1 - 1 1/4 hours at 160 C, 325 F, gas mark 3. Turn out to cool on wire rack,
and (attempt to) keep for 24 hours before serving.

INGREDIENTS
whole wheat flour
water
non-instant powdered milk
7 grain cereal
rolled oats
wheat flakes
rye flakes
honey
yeast
salt (optional)
ginger
YIELD: 2 loaves
1. All ingredients must be warm, that is, not too cool and not
too hot. Yeast requires an environment of 85 to 105 degrees
Fahrenheit in which to work;
METHOD
1. Take the flour from the fridge or other cool spot and half fill
a 13" x 9" x 2" pan. Put the pan in the oven and slowly turn the
dial until the oven just comes on. Turn on the oven light too.
2. Take out 2 beer mugs, a coffee cup, a 1 cup measuring cup, large
bowl, a tablespoon, a teaspoon, measuring spoons and a whisk. Take
the yeast and oil from the fridge. Also take out the honey, 7 grain
cereal, rolled oats, wheat flakes and rye flakes.
3. Fill one beer mug with hot tap water and let sit for just a moment.
Empty the hot water and refill 1/3 full with tap water that is warm,
but not hot, to the wrist, (like baby's milk), and stir in a
teaspoon of honey and 1/4 teaspoon of ginger.
5. In the meantime, fill the second beer mug three quarters full of
non-instant powdered milk. Put a large tablespoon of honey in the
bowl. This "tablespoon" probably contains 1/4 to 1/2 cups honey. Add
2 1/2 coffee cups of warm-to-the-wrist water. Add the non-instant
powdered milk and beat well with a whisk. As you beat, the phrase
"non-instant" in non-instant powdered milk will take on real meaning.
If there are a few lumps remaining, don't worry, they won't survive
the next steps.
7. By now the yeast should have risen to with an inch of the top of
the beer mug. Using the teaspoon, give it a good stir for about 5
seconds and pour it into the bowl with all the other stuff.
8. Take the flour from the oven and turn the oven off! <-- IMPORTANT!
Leave the oven light on as it will be the only heat source required
for the risings. Add flour to the bowl one handful at a time and beat
vigorously with the whisk. You are done when its kinda hard to add
more flour and the resulting mixture can best be described as thick
mud. Adding the flour with the whisk only takes about 3 minutes.
9. Using a rubber scraper, clean the sides of the bowl, cover with a
damp tea towel and put in the oven to rise. This rising will take
about 30 minutes. At this stage, the bread with half the flour added
is called the "sponge."
10. Pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup oil into the coffee cup and put it into the oven
to warm. Also, half fill the 13" x 9" x 2" pan with flour again and
put it in the oven to warm. Put the measuring spoons over to where
you will be working next and get out the salt now so you don't
forget.
11. Wash everything else and put it away. By now you should have about
12. When the sponge has risen to within 3/4 of an inch of the top of the
bowl, or until double in bulk, remove from the oven.
13. Sprinkle 3/4 of a tablespoon of salt on top if you wish. If you would
rather not add salt, omit this step. Your bread will be just a little
sweeter, that's all.
14. Slowly pour most of the oil around the edge of the bowl. Save an
ounce or so of oil in the cup. Using the rubber scraper, fold the
sponge down so that it is almost its original size before rising.
This process should take no longer than 2 minutes.
FOLDING? It goes like this. Grab the bowl with your left hand at the
ten o'clock position and insert the scraper with your right hand at
the twelve o'clock position. While turning the bowl counter clockwise
with your left hand, bring the scraper clockwise around the edge of
the bowl with your right hand. When you left hand and right meet at
the 6 o'clock position, that's 6:30 in Newfoundland, flip the dough
across the bowl back to the twelve o'clock position. Try to keep the
sponge together as a whole.
15. Sprinkle a handful of flour on top of the bread and fold it in.
Sprinkle additional flour around the edge of the bowl and fold it in
too. When the folding gets tough, stop.
16. Sprinkle a handful of flour on the counter. Pour the dough onto the
counter. Using the rubber scraper, clean the bowl the best you can,
Pour the remains on top of the dough. Nothing gets wasted here. Using
the bit of oil remaining in the cup, oil your hands and the bowl.
17. Knead the bread until three consecutive kneads don't stick to the
bare counter.
KNEADING? It goes like this. Grab the far side of the dough and bring
it towards you, thus folding the dough in half. Using the heels of
your hands, push the dough away from you. Using your left hand, give
the dough a quarter turn, grab the far side, bring it towards you,
thus folding the dough in half, and push the dough away from you.
Using your left hand, give the dough a quarter turn, ... , et cetera.
18. Put the dough, good side down, in the bowl, remove, and put it back
in the bowl good side up. If there is any noticeable accumulation of
oil in the centre, rub it to the outside with your hand. Cover the
dough with a damp tea towel, return to the oven and let rise about 30
minutes or until double in bulk.
19. This step is called "punching down." Take a moment, close your eyes
and picture someone who you would like to punch, if even, playfully.
Punch the dough down by first nailing it right in the centre and
pushing all the way to the bottom of the bowl. Punch down the rest
working from the centre to the outside of the bowl. Finish off by
punching the centre again. This punching down process should take no
more than 25 - 30 punches. I like this part!
20. Again, cover the dough with a damp tea towel, return to the oven and
let rise about 25 minutes or until double in bulk.
21. Punch down as before, this time when you are done roll the dough out
onto the counter.
NOTE: If you are a bit pressed for time, one of these intermediate
risings can be omitted with negligible effect on the final product.
If, however, you are a perfectionist like me, you'll do all risings,
time permitting.
22. Using a sharp knife and a good eye, cut the dough in two. Using four
or five folds each, form the two pieces of dough into loaves, cover
with a damp tea towel and let rise for a few minutes while you
perform the next step. Please note: in this step don't be too
concerned about the shape of the loaves, the actual final shaping
comes in Step 24.
24. Using four or five folds each, form each loaf and place good side up
in the loaf pan. Cover the loaves with a damp tea towel, return to
the oven and let rise 15 to 20 minutes. If your risings so far have
corresponded to the times mentioned above, use 15 minutes in this
step. If they have been five or so minutes longer, use 20 minutes.
25. Remove the covered loaves from the oven and turn the oven on to 350
degrees Fahrenheit. It will take about 5 minutes to warm up.
26. Uncover the loaves and put into the oven. Bake for 50 minutes or
until the loaf rapped on the bottom gives a nice hollow sound.
27. Remove the loaves from the pan by giving each pan a gentle twist. Put
the loaves to cool for about eight hours. An oven rack makes a good
cooling rack for bread.
28. Clean the loaf pans immediately with a paper towel. If you use soap
and water on loaf pans, it should only be on the outside for
appearance sake.
29. You may have heard that you should not eat bread straight out of the
oven because it will sit heavy on your stomach and be bad for you.
Bullfeathers! How can anything this good possibly be bad for you?

PRETZELS
(8 pretzels)
Ingredients:
------------
1 cup whole milk
4 teaspoons sugar
1/4 oz yeast
2 teaspoons salt
1 tsp shortening
3 cups flour
Pretzel or kosher salt for sprinkling
Lye dip
Instructions:
-------------
The lye dip is an essential part of this recipe. To prepare it, get a
sealable container, perhaps a tupperware sort of thing, and fill it with
a gallon of cold water. Wearing latex gloves and protective eyegear,
*slowly* add 6oz of (caustic soda alias lye alias NaOH) pellets,
stirring carefully with a metal spoon until the pellets are dissolved.
Seal the container until you are ready to use it. Notes:
2. I didn't quite have 6oz when I made the dip. In fact, I don't know
how much I had for sure.. maybe 3oz or so, and I used less water, and
everything came out fine. I don't think the recipe is particularly
sensitive to the exact proportions of lye to water, so don't worry too
much about this.
3. Gradually add the flour. As soon as you can work on it with your
hands, move it to a pastry board and knead in enough of the flour to
make a good stiff dough. It shouldn't be sticky at all when you start
forming the knots.
4. Form the knots: chop off a tenth or so of the dough. Using both
hands, roll it into a rope with tapered ends and a relatively thick
middle. Tie the characteristic pretzel knot shape:

5. When you have them all formed, put them somewhere warm 80-90F) to
rise for 1/2 hour or less. (I turn my electric oven on to 150F for a
minute, turn it off, and let the pretzels rise there.)
6. When they have risen, they will be somewhat bumpy, sweaty, and ugly.
Remove the covers and let them cool for 10 minutes or so in front of a
fan or in the refrigerator until the outer skin has become tough and can
take some handling.
7. You are now ready to dip and bake them. My biggest problem with
this recipe is keeping the pretzels from sticking when I bake them.
Dipping them in liquid on the way into the oven makes them want to stick
to just about every surface I have tried, even when I toughen the
bottoms as well in step 6. The best solution I have is to use bread
stones with gobs of cornmeal. I hope someone in netland has a better
idea! Heat the oven to 400F.
8. Remove your heated baking surface from the oven and place it close
to your lye dip and ready-to-bake pretzels. Don't burn your counter!
Wearing your protective gear, individually dip the pretzels and place
them on the baking surface. Be careful: the pretzels become fragile
after being dipped. After you have dipped them all, sprinkle salt on
the thick part and bake them for about 15 minutes. Note: Steve's
original recipe called for 30 minutes at 400F. I really can't explain
the discrepancy, although I've never calibrated my oven. Perhaps it's
running hot.
These pretzels are fun to make and great to eat, but they don't keep
very long. After 10 hours or so, the sprinkled salt will begin to seep
back into the dough and vanish entirely, leaving hideous warts, and the
dough will toughen.
PRETZELS
Ingredients:
------------
1 pkg yeast
3 cups bread flour
1/2 tsp sugar
1 cup warm/hot water (whatever temperature you use for yeast breads)
1 egg yolk
1 Tbsp water (any temperature)
coarse salt
Instructions:
-------------
Mix 1st four ingredients, knead, and let rise. (Okay, what *I* do is
stick the whole mess in my handy-dandy DAK Turbo IV on the
White-Manual-Turbo cycle, and let it do the dirty work. It doesn't do
the baking, though.)
Separate dough into 12 equally-sized blobs. Mix egg yolk & Tbsp water
in a bowl. For each blob, roll into cylinder about 18 inches long,
shape into a pretzel (this is harder than you might think ...) brush
with egg stuff, sprinkle with coarse salt, and put on greased cookie
sheet.
Note: Feel free to use egg substitute instead of the egg, or just skip
the egg, and brush with only water (to help the salt stick). Or, leave
off the glaze and the salt entirely.
Let pretzels rise again for 30 minutes. (Very impatient and/or hungry
people can omit this step. I often do.)
Bake for 10-12 minutes in preheated 475 deg (F) oven. Eat as soon as
possible.
Remark:
-------
I've been making lots of (soft) pretzels lately. I've generally been
quite happy with how they turn out, and all my friends love 'em. They
taste just *perfect*, but they don't look right, i.e., they come out
an off-white "bread color", not the smooth dark brown "pretzel color"
that every pretzel I've ever bought had.
PRETZELS
Ingredients:
------------
1 pkg active dry yeast
1 cup of warm water
2 3/4 cups flour
2 tblsp soft butter
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup baking soda
more water
Instructions:
-------------
Proof 1 package active dry yeast in 1 cup of warm water.
Add the yeast and beat or process for several minutes (longer than you
think you should - you can start with cooler water if using the food
processor, as it heats the dough up quite a bit.)
Add 1 1/4 cups flour, and knead until the dough is no longer sticky.
Let rise in a covered greased bowl until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Punch down and divide into 12 pieces. Keep them under a towel until you
are ready to shape them. Shape each piece into a large pretzel, and
place on a greased sheet to rise for about 20 minutes.
Bake about 10-15 minutes. The pretzels will get a very shiny brown,
thanks to the baking soda. For extra crispness, let them bake the last
5 minutes directly on the lowest oven rack.

Pumpkin Bread
From: cjpope@toon.b11.ingr.com (Candy Pope)
Date: 25 Oct 1993 11:51:22 GMT
I know this recipe calls for canned pumpkin, but it is still the
best recipe for it I've ever tasted.
3 c sugar
1 c oil
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 can pumpkin
3 1/2 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
2/3 c water
In a large bowl, mix sugar and oil. Add pumpkin and eggs.
Blend well. Then, add flour, spices, and water. Mix
completely. Pour into two, well-greased loaf pans. Bake for
1 1/2 hours.
Note: I have a gas oven that gets really hot, so I don't let
my bread cook for the whole 1 1/2 hours. I check it after an
hour (just press the top of the loaves - if they spring back
their done or use the toothpick test).

APPLE SCONES
Ingredients:
------------
2 c Flour
3 t Baking Powder
2 T Sugar
1/2 t Cinnamon
1/2 t Salt
6 T Shortening
1/2 c Apples, peeled, chopped fine
1/2 c Raisins
4 T Cold Apple juice or water
Instructions:
-------------
Preheat oven to 400 deg F. Mix together dry ingredients. Cut in
shortening as you would for a pie crust. Stir in apples and raisins.
Add enough juice to make a stiff dough. On floured surface, roll dough
about 1/2" thick. Cut into triangles and bake on cookie sheet for 10
minutes, or until light brown.
APPLE SCONES
Instructions:
-------------
Measure flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt into large bowl. Cut
in butter until crumbly.
Add shredded apple and milk. Stir to form stiff dough. Turn out on
lightly floured surface. Knead gently 8-10 times. Pat into two six
inch circles. Place on greased baking sheet. Brush tops with milk.
Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Score each top into 6 pie shaped
wedges. Bake in 425 F oven for 15 minutes until browned and risen.
Serve warm with butter.
Variation:
----------
Currant Apple Scones - Add 1/2 cup currants to batter.
Instructions:
-------------
Place the baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Sift
the measured flour twice with the baking powder, salt, and other fine
ingredients such as powdered mustard (which you would use if you were
making cheese scones).
Dice the fats into the dry ingredients, then lightly rub in with cool
fingertips or a pastry blender until completely blended.
Make a well in the center and stir in the milk. Lightly mix with a fork
until the ingredients form a soft dough.
Turn out onto a floured board and knead very lightly for about 30
seconds to a loose, smooth dough. Roll out with a rolling pin to
approximately 3/4 inch thick.
Stamp out with a 2-inch cutter or cut into triangles with a sharp knife.
Lightly knead together any trimmings and roll and stamp out again. Lift
with a spatula onto the HOT baking sheet, placing 1 inch apart. Brush
only the tops with lightly beaten egg or milk.
Bake toward the top of the oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until
well risen and golden brown. Lift onto a wire rack with the spatula to
cool. (If you were to make cheese scones, you would add 1 3/4 cups very
finely grated mature cheddar cheese, and a pinch of dry English mustard)
Clotted cream is a spread somewhat similar to butter, but not the same.
I don't know if it is possible to get in the U.S..I seem to recall that
I may have seen instructions for making it in one of those "Cheaper and
Better" type books. I'll look. (Any Brits out there with better Info
than me?)
Instructions:
-------------
Cut together butter, flour, salt and baking powder.
Make well in center of the mixture; add egg and small amount of milk.
If mixture appears to be too dry, add more milk. Blend to a nice,
smooth dough.
Roll out on floured board to 1/2 inch thick. Use cutter with 2-inch
fluted edge. Place on lightly greased baking sheet, brush with beaten
egg.
Serve hot.
Note:
-----
I copied this recipe couple of years ago from a newspaper; supposedly,
those *are* the scones served in the Palace. If I remember right, the
recipe came with an article about a guy who used to be cook there.
Instructions:
-------------
Cut together butter, flour, salt and baking powder. Add sugar.
Make well in center of the mixture; add egg and small amount of milk.
If mixture appears to be too dry, add more milk. Blend to a nice,

and the butter and cut into the flour mixture. Stir in the eggs and add
just enough cream to make a stif dough. Put the dough on a floured
board and pat it out into a circle about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Cut into
wedges and place wedges on a cookie sheet at least one inch apart. Bake
at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or til nicely browned. Sprinkle with
additional cardamom and serve with plum jam.
Note:
-----
You may increase the amount of cardamom or substitute coriander for a
stronger flavor. You can also leave out the pine nuts and add a small
amount of additional butter.

dough to form a ball. Turn out onto lightly floured surface; knead
gently 6 times. On lightly greased cookie sheet, pat out dough to form
8-inch circle. With sharp knife, score round into 12 wedges.; sprinkle
with combined sugar and cinnamon. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden
brown. Break apart; serve warm. Makes 1 scone with as many wedges as
you scored.
Instructions:
-------------
Preheat oven to 425 (F).
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in the bowl of a
food processor; add butter and process until the mixture ressembles
coarsely ground meal. Transfer to a bowl. [Use a pastry cutter if you
don't have a food processor.]
Add currants, then buttermilk, stirring quickly with a fork until the
dough is soft and slightly sticky. With floured hands, press the dough
into a ball. Knead delicately a dozen times.
Flatten the dough into a 1" thick circle. Cut into 3" disks. Repeat
this with remaining dough.

2 T melted BUTTER (oleo won't do)
Instructions:
-------------
Combine flour and baking powder in medium bowl; stir in milk. Beat eggs
till light and fluffy, add sugar and butter. Mix with milk mixture
until smoothish, like for pancakes. Drop by large tablespoonfuls (those
big soupspoons work well) onto a hot, -lightly- greased griddle (here's
where that can of Pam works) and cook over moderately low heat until
pale gold, turning several times. Serve -hot-, split and buttered or
spread with jam. (I usually spread thinly with butter and run under
broiler till lightly toasted.... The scones, silly, not me toasted!!)

scone mixture by scant 1/4-cups about 1" apart on cookie sheet to make
12 scones.
Serve them warm or later. To save for later cool the scones on wire
racks and wrap in a single layer of foil. To reheat, warm for 10
minutes or so in a 400 degree oven. About 190 calories each.
SCONES
Instructions:
-------------
Mix the dry ingredients, then cut in the shortening, just as if you were
making biscuits. Add the milk and egg -- you may need to add more flour
if the dough is too sticky or more milk if it is too dry. It should be
slightly moister/softer than a regular biscuit.
Roll into a circle, about 1/4" thick, slightly thicker in the center.
Cut into wedges (eight works well), and place on an ungreased baking
sheet. Bake at 450 F for 10-12 minutes, until golden.
Ingredients:
------------
1 1/2 c uncooked old-fashioned oats
1 1/2 c flour
1/2 c raisins or currants
2 T sugar

Spaetzles
From: eddie@railnet.nshore.org (Eddie Van Huffel)
Date: Fri, 13 Aug 93 22:10:43 EDT
I have worked with a dozen recipe books and have combined all of their
ideas into a simple recipe which has turned out rather simple. It is all
based on 1 cup of flour
1 cup flour
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
combine the dry ingredients (add nutmeg to taste if doing it for German
Cooking, omit if for Hungarian)
Add the milk and egg and let it form into a batter of sorts.
Take the batter and put it into a spaetzle maker, or I used a french fry
basket, and rubbed it with the bottom of a spatula to break it up.
When the spaetzles float, use a slotted spoon and put them into a
colander. The above were used in sauer-braten, chicken paprikash, and
fried in butter. It is another trump card hidden up my sleeve.

Both recipes
were taken (without permission) from The Complete Book of Breads.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir the cornmeal gradually into the rapidly
boiling water. When the mixture is smooth, add butter, salt and stir
in the milk. Remove from heat and stir in the egg yolks. Allow the
mixture to cool to warm (90-100 degrees). Meanwhile, beat the egg whites
to hold a peak. Fold into the mixture. Pour batter into the baking dish
(one 1-quart baking dish, greased or buttered). It should come to no
more than 3/4 way up the sides. Level with rubber spatula. Bake in the
oven until it is puffed and nicely browned. A knife blade slipped into
the bread will come out clean when it is done.
Remove bread from the oven. Serve immediately, and with a spoon.
Beforehand, fry the bacon. Cut or chop into small bits. Shred the cheese.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Stir cornmeal into the cold water in the
saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring to a bubbling boil, stirring
constantly. When it is thick-perhaps 60 seconds-remove from heat. Stir
in the cheese, butter, garlic and salt. When cheese is melted pour in
the milk. Stir in egg yolks and add bacon bits. Beat egg whites stiff,
and fold them into the batter. pour into the casserole or souffle dish
(one 2-quart casserole or souffle dish, greased). Level the batter with
rubber spatula. Bake in the oven for about 1 hour. The bread will be
nicely browned, high and puffy. Slip a knife blade into the center of the
casserole. If the blade comes out clean and dry, the spoon bread is done.
If not, return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes. Remove bread
from the oven. Serve while hot.

Proceed to mix until smooth, adding extra flour until the mixture is no
longer sticky. Transfer to a floured board, cover with towel and let
the dough rise (about 90 minutes) to double in bulk in a warm location.
Punch down and divide the dough into five parts; roll each piece by
hand into strips about 15 inches long. Braid three strips together and
put on a greased cookie sheet. Beat one egg and brush the Houska where
the strips cross. Twist together the remaining two strips and put on
top of the first layer. Cover and let rise about 45-60 minutes.
Brush the surface of the Houska. Bake for about 35 minutes at 325
degrees F. When half done, brush again and rotate the pan. The
Houska should be nicely browned when done. Allow the Swallowtail
Houska to cool before cutting.

Punch dough down; turn dough out onto a well-floured surface, and knead
several times. Shape into 2-inch balls, and place in 3 greased 9-inch
round pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees F), free
from drafts, 30 to 40 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 325
degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Yield: 3 dozen.
Note:
-----
I'm only posting the basic recipe: the original had a number of
variations, including Sweet Yeast Braid, Sweet-Filled Yeast Loaves, and
Sweet Pinwheel Rolls. The article also gave recipes for a number of
fillings such as Cinnamon-Cheese Filling, Orange-Cheese Filling, and
Chocolate-Cheese Filling; and one topping, Sugar Glaze. Check the
magazine (or one of the yearly cookbook compilations) if you're
interested in them (you can usually get the Southern Living cookbooks on
sale at bookstores for about $7.95, and IMHO, they're well worth the
money!).
Instructions:
-------------
Cook potato in boiling water to cover until tender. Drain and reserve
1/2 cup of the liquid. Cool to between 105- to 115-degrees. Stir in
the yeast and sugar. Let stand 5 minutes.
Mash the potato to make 1/2 cup (after mashing) and put in mixing bowl.
Add the butter, melted shortening, honey, egg, salt, yeast mixture and
1-1/4 cups of the flour. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Gradually
stir in flour until dough is no longer sticky and feels silky smooth. I
Cover and refrigerate up to 4 days. Cover and let rise in a warm place
1-1/2 hours or until doubled.
Instructions:

Put in a small pan 1/4 cup water, warm (105 to 110 degrees) and 1/4 cup
margarine. Heat to melt margarine but do not boil, then add 1 cup sour
cream or plain yogurt (my fav).
In a bowl mix together: 1 cup flour, 1 pkg active dry yeast, 2 tbls
sugar and 1 tsp salt.
Mix thoroughly - then pour liquid over and beat vigorously by hand or
electric mixer.
Add 1 egg and beat again vigorously. While beating add up to 2 cups
flour or until you get a dough stiff enough to handle. (dough should be
Oil top of dough, cover bowl with plastic wrap and proof till nearly
double (about 50 minutes to an hour).
Place dough on a floured board and pat out to about 1/2 thick and cut
and shape as you wish. Let rise 15-30 minutes.
Bake at 375 degrees about 20 minutes. Butter the tops when they come
out.
Note:
-----
These can be turned in to "brown and serve" rolls and frozen and are
great when you just need "one or two" rolls. Just bake until barely
"ivory" in color cool and freeze. When you want to serve later, place
in a pre-heated oven and bake till nicely browned.)
Instructions:
-------------
Combine the milk, 1/2 cup of butter, sugar and salt in a saucepan. Heat
until butter melts; cool until temperature is between 105 and
115-degrees. It's very important that you use a thermometer. If the
mixture is too hot it'll kill the yeast, if it's not hot enough it won't
activate the yeast.
Dissolve the yeast in the water in a large bowl (or use a Kitchenaid
mixer with a dough hook). Stir in the milk mixture, eggs, lemon extract
and imitation butter extract. Gradually stir in the flour to make a
soft dough (I added about 5 cups all at once and then sprinkled in
enough flour until the dough Turn dough out onto a floured surface and
knead until smooth and elastic (or use your KA mixer), about 5 minutes.
The dough will be VERY soft...don't add too much flour.
Punch dough down and divide in half. Turn dough out onto a lightly
floured board. Now, you can either make Fantan rolls out of this (a
little tricky) or you can make any shape roll you'd like. Roll 3 round
walnut-size balls and put them into your muffin tins or whatever you'd
like. If you'd like directions for making the fan-shaped rolls, let me
know and I'll post it--they're a bit of work, so I never make them. Be
sure to use LARGE muffin cups because this recipe makes HUGE rolls.
Brush on additional butter if you'd like.
Cover and let rise in a warm place free from drafts for 30 minutes.
Bake in a preheated 425-degree oven for 10-12 minutes.

I prefer to make this as two small loaves, but one large one just takes
a little longer to bake.
Grease loaf pans. Dust with mixture of 2 tsp. of sugar and cinnamon.
Beat together eggs, remaining sugar, oil, yogurt, and vanilla. Stir in
remaining ingredients and mix well. Cook in 350 deg. oven for 60 - 70
minutes or until it passes the clean toothpick test. Let stand 10
minutes before removing from pan.
