Title: ANISE MERINGUE KISSES
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 48 servings

3 Egg whites
1/8 ts Cream of tartar
1/2 c Sugar
1 1/2 ts Ground anise seeds

The flavor of anise in these light cookies makes them
a great after- dinner dessert. Some people prefer the
center to be soft and chewy, but if you prefer the dry
melt-in-your-mouth type of meringue, turn off the oven
and, with the door closed, let them stand 30 minutes
to an hour. These cookies are generally baked on
parchment paper, but we have found that regular bond
paper makes a very acceptable substitute. (By Times
Food Stylists) Beat egg whites until frothy. Add cream
of tartar and beat to soft peaks. Gradually beat in
sugar. Continue beating until stiff and glossy. Beat
in anise. Using pastry bag, pipe onto parchment-lined
baking sheets. Bake at 275 degrees F. 30 minutes.
Makes about 4 dozen kisses. NOTE: If drier meringue is
desired, turn off oven and let kisses stand in oven
with door closed about 1 hour. Each kiss contains
about: 9 calories; 4 mg sodium; 0 cholesterol; 0 fat;
2 grams carbohydrates; 0 protein; trace fiber.

Greek Sesame Bread

Recipe By : frugal gourmet – 3 ancient cuisines
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :3:00
Categories : Breads Breakfast
Low Fat Side Dish
Tried Mc

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 cup tepid water
1 cup tepid milk
2 packages fast rising dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons salad oil
2 pounds
3 oz unbleached white flour
1 teaspoon salt mixed w/1 tbsp. water
TOPPING
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup raw sesame seeds
Cornmeal for baking sheets

Mix the warm water and milk in your electric mixer bowl. Dissolve the
yeast. Add the sugar, oil, and 4 cups of the total flour. Whip for 10
minutes and add the salted water. If you have a very strong mixer, such as
a KitchenAid, you can use the dough hook to blend in the remaining flour.
If not, you must do it by hand. Knead the dough for several minutes so that
it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough on a plastic counter, and cover
with a large inverted metal bowl. Allow to rise until double in bulk and
punch down. Allow to rise a second time and punch down. Divide into 2
halves. Roll each onto a ball and punch a hole in the center. Work with the
dough until you have a round circle about 13 inches in diameter. Place each
loaf on a greased baking sheet that has been dusted with cornmeal. Brush
the tops of the loaves with a bit of milk and top with the sesame seeds.
Bake at 400 degrees until golden and light, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Yogurt-glazed Gingerbread

From: cazeved1@cc.swarthmore.edu (Celina R. Azevedo)
Date: Mon, 11 Oct 1993 18:07:12 GMT

I am posting in response to the request for gingerbread recipes. This is
a really scrumptious recipe my mother got out of a ladies’ aid society type
cookbook from the 1960’s. The yogurt glaze is what makes it–strange but
true.

CAKE
3/4 c. butter/margarine
3/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
3/4 c. molasses
2 1/2 c. flour
2 teaspoons powdered ginger (this would probably be great with freshly
grated ginger, too, but I’m not sure what the equivalent amount would be)
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 c. boiling water

Preheat the oven to 325. Beat the butter with the sugar until light
and fluffy. Add the eggs and the molasses. Sift the dry ingredients
together, then add them to the butter-sugar mixture alternately with the
boiling water. Mix just until smooth. Pour into a greased 9×9 boiling water.
Mix just until smooth. Pour into a greased 9×9 inch baking
dish and bake for 40 minutes. Meanwhile, make:

GLAZE
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. yogurt
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. whole cloves
1/4-1/2 c. butter

Mix all the ingredients in a saucepan and boil for 1 minute. If you’re
squeamish about the whole clovesnd boil for 1 minute. If you’re
squeamish about the whole cloves, take them out after boiling. As soon as
the gingerbread comes out of the oven, prick it all over with a toothpick
and pour the glaze on. Allow it to set for several hours.

BASIC RECIPE FOR A TEA SMOKE

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Info

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
— ENOUGH SMOKE FOR 4 —-
—- CHICKEN BREAST ——
2 tb Raw brown rice
1 tb Brown sugar
4 Whole cloves
Tea leaves from 2 earl Grey
– tea bags, removed from
– packets
1/4 ts Olive oil
2 6oz boneless skinless
– chicken breasts

Take 3 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil 15 inches
square and start rolling the edges under to from a
circle that fits in the bottom of your Dutch oven —
in our case, a foil saucer approximately 5 inches in
diamerter. When the edge is rolled to about 1 inch
high, stop and flatten it. Then, depress the center to
hold the smoke ingredients.

In the depression of the aluminum foil saucer first
sprinkle the rice, then the sugar, cloves and the
contents of the tea bags. The order of ingredients is
very important. Place the foil dish in Dutch oven,
cover tightly and cook over high heat until
ingredients in the foil start smoking ~- about 5
minutes.

Brush a steamer platform with the olive oil. Place
the chicken on platform, skinned side up. Put into
Dutch oven over the smoke ingredients, cover and
continue smoking over high heat until done — about 11
minutes.
