Crumpets and Muffins (English)

*INGREDIENTS* 1 qt Water 2 oz Yeast 1/2 lb Potatoes 1/2 oz Salt Flour *DIRECTIONS* MUFFINS: Wash, peel and boil the potatoes, rub through a colander, add the water (just warm enough to bear the hand in it without discomfort); then dissolve the yeast and salt in it, and stir in sufficient flour to make a moist paste. Beat it well in a deep bowl and then clear off the paste from the hands; cover over with a clean cloth and leave it to rise in a warm place. When it has well risen, and is light and spongy, turn it out on the table, dredge over with flour, and then divide it off into pieces about 3 oz in weight, roll them up into round shapes, and set them on a wooden tray, well dusted with flour to prove. When light enough, see that the hot plate is hot, and then carefully transfer the muffins from the tray, one at a time, using a thin tin slice for the purpose, taking particular care not to knock out the proof or the muffins will be spoilt. When they have been properly cooked on one side, turn over with the slice and cook the other side. When the muffins are done, brush off the flour, and lay them on a clean clothe or sieve to cool. To toast them, divide the edge of the muffin all round by pulling it open to the depth of about 1 inch with the fingers. Put it on a toasting fork and hold it before a clear fire till one side is nicely browned, but not burnt; turn, and toast it on the other. Do not toast them too quickly, otherwise the middle of the muffin will not be warmed through. When done, divide them by pulling them open; butter them slighlty on both sides, put them together again, and cut them into halves. Pile on a hot dish and send quickly to table. Time: 25 to 30 minutes to bake. Sufficient for about 2 dozen muffins. CRUMPETS: Proceed exactly the same as directed for Muffins (above), but stir in only half the quantity of flour used for them, so that the mixture is more of a batter than a sponge. Cover over, and leave for 1/2 an hour. At the end of that time take a large wooden spoon and well beat up the batter, leave in the spoon, cover over, and leave for another 1/2 an hour. Then give the batter another good beat up. This process must be repeated 3 times with the intervals. When completed, see that the hot plate is quite hot, lay out some crumpet rings rubbed over inside with a little clean lard on a baking tin, and pour in sufficient of the batter to make the crumpets. When cooked on one side, turn over with a palette-knife, and when done take off on to a clean cloth to cool. Muffins and crumpets should always be served on separate dishes, and both toasted and served as quickly as possible. Time: about 20 minutes to cook. Sufficient for about 2 dozen crumpets. From: Mrs. Beetons All About Cookery, Ward, Lock & Co., Ltd., London & Melbourne, (circa 1890s) Shared by June Hoffman, 7/93

Vary the liquids: dry milk solids are already in the mix so more milk is not need. You can use fruit juice, water or meat broth for the liquid called for in a recipe. The recipes in this Pick-A-pocket book were written for commercial packaged baking mix which has no milk so it is the liquid called for in recipes. This mix is a perfect substitte. Just use water where it calls for milk. (written out of my cookbook) Basic biscuits: 2 cups mix, 1/2 cup water. Add water to mix and stir 20-25 times. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10-15 times. Roll to 1/2″ thickness and cut with a knife to pockets shapes or use biscuit cutter to make circles. Place in preheated sm and bake 5 minutes or until golden brown. Sausage biscuits: 2 1/4 cups packaged biscuit baking mix(milk), 8 links sausages cooked. Prepare biscuits according to package directions for rolled biscuits. Knead dough, roll out on floured surface and cut 8 circles with a biscuit cutter. Lay one sausage in center of each and wrap dough around, pinching to seal. Sausages will stick out the ends. Bake 5 minutes or until golden brown. Jelly biscuits: flatten unbaked biscuits with heel of your hand. Place 1/2 teaspoon jelly or preserves in center. Fold over and pinch edges together to seal. Bake 5 minutes or till golden. Pimento cheese bread: 2 cups packaged biscuit baking mix, 1 egg, beaten; 1/2 cup grated cheddar; 2/3 cup milk; 2 tablespoon drained dice pimento (optional) Mix all ingredients together until soft dough forms.

I do not come into this pulpit hoping that perhaps somebody will of his own free will return to Christ. My hope lies in another quarter. I hope that my Master will lay hold of some of them and say, You are mine, and you shall be mine. I claim you for myself. My hope arises from the freeness of grace, and not from the freedom of the will. — Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Basic Bread Machine Recipe

Use a thermometer for the water. Too hot will kill the yeast. The yeast will now proof (start to multiply) In a separate bowl, measure out all dry ingredients and mix. After a few minutes, yeast should be bubbling, add dry stuff and any liquids including the water. start the machine and see how it looks. If too dry, add until it looks right. Should be one big mass not several. Flour: I often substitute 1 cup of corn or rye + 1 heaping T of gluten for a cup of WW flour. For sweet breads, add another few T of sugar (I commonly use honey, molasses, or malt powder) and may some raisins. 3 T of carroway seeds or sesame seeds in a non sweet bread is great. I have also added 2 mashed bananas, then cut the water.

easter tsoureki

Easter Tsoureki

Extract
1 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon aniseed
Grated peel of 1 orange
3/4 cup water

Make a flavoring extract by bringing to a boil the water, orange peel and spices. Boil away a third of the water. Strain liquid into a small bowl to cool until very warm to touch. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (packets) of yeast over this and allow to soften and bubble. Meanwhile, begin the bread.

Bread
1 teaspoon mahaleb (optional)
2 tablespoons yeast
1 cup milk
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
Grated peel of orange
1 cup plus 7 to 8 cups flour
Sesame seed
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Red Easter eggs (dyed red, but preferably not boiled)

Heat milk, butter, sugar and salt over medium heat until butter melts and bubbles form. Set aside to cool to lukewarm.

Beat 3 eggs until fluffy in a large bowl. Add milk mixture, yeast and extract. Slowly beat in 1 cup flour. Blend well to make a smooth batter. Add grated rind of second orange. Slowly add more flour until a very soft dough is achieved. Turn out onto a floured surface. Knead about 10 minutes, adding only enough flour to keep dough from sticking to hands. Place dough in a greased bowl, turn it over to coat completely. Cover loosely with 2 sheets of plastic wrap and cover with a damp towel. Set in a warm place to rise until doubled in volume, 2 to 3 hours.

Punch dough down. Knead briefly and divide in half. Cover 1/2 with a damp towel. Shape 3 ropes with the other half of the dough. Roll in a light sprinkling of sesame seed. Braid ropes and shape into wreath, if desired. Place a red egg on loaf. Shape a thin cross with 2 strips of dough and decorate egg, if desired. Repeat with second half of dough. Place loaves on greased cookie sheet. Cover loosely with plastic film and allow to rise in warm place, about 1 hour.

Uncover, brush with egg and water mixture and bake in at 325 degrees F, about 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Loaves should give a hollow sound when rapped with fingers.

A Norwegian Coffee Cake (Kringla)

Ingredients
1/2	cup	butter, or margarine
1	cup	sugar
1	teaspoon	vanilla
1	large	egg
1	cup	buttermilk
1	teaspoon	soda, gingerale or 7up?
3	cups	flour
2 1/2	teaspoon	baking powder
1	teaspoon	salt
Directions:
Mix vanilla and egg, beat until mixed. Add the Buttermilk and the baking soda; (I have used 7up?) and sift the dry ingredients into this. Add the rest of the ingredients, mix well. Put the container into the refrigerator chill over night. Take out and roll small pieces of the dough into long strips, then form them into a figure eight,(like a pretzel) put them back into the refrigerator for about an hour, when they have raised to approximately what looks to be the right hight. Bake in a 450 degree F pre-heated oven for approximately 6 to 8 minutes, (May vary with the weather so keep an eye on them) but they should be a light brown before you remove them. Refrigeration is one of the keys of “KRINGLA” making. They must be refrigerated in order for them to get the flavor, you could bake them without refrigeration but you lose a lot of the flavor. You can also use. A: OATMEAL. B: RAISINS. C: WHOLE WHEAT. You can fill them with your favorite filling, Cream Cheese, Jelly, etc. You don need eggs or yeast. They are not too sweet, and definitely not boring like a bagel, (Sorry Bagel lovers). It is a coffee Bread not like Muffins, which are too sweet, and also do not have too many calories. This recipe came from a fella from the town of LOS OSOS CA He is a out of work Carpenter who started baking and selling these wonderful Rolls, He said that this is an original recipe that he got from his grandmother. Ive tried nuts, and love the cream Cheese one, You could even use Custard Filling, Ive also used Different flavored oils like Pure orange oil, Butterscotch, several Berries types. and they turned out just great.

1 c Whole wheat berries 1 c Whole rye berries 1 c Whole triticale 1 c Whole barley 1 c Brown rice 1 c Buckwheat groats 1 c Millet 1 c Sesame seeds 1 c Flaxseed 1 c Lentils 10 c Oat groats I mix it up, then cook a pot of it by measuring 2 cups of cereal to 5 cups of water, bringing it to boil, & then letting it sit over night. Then I have a bowlful each morning, heated in the microwave until the cooked cereal is gone and I need to make more. Or you could do the same with a smaller amount, for one serving, say, try 1/4 cup of cereal. Its very chewy and satisfying. And of course lots of whole grains. Sometimes I just use oatmeal instead of oat groats, since they are difficult to find and I like the consistency that oatmeal adds. In the book he has a little paragraph about each grain, explaining what vitamins/minerals it has & what its good for.
