Title: Cream of Beet Soup
Categories: Soups
Yield: 6 servings

1 lb Beets, peeled and coarsely

1 lg Onion, coarsely chopped

1 t Dried of chopped fresh thyme

From “Splendid Soups,” by James Peterson (Bantam Books, 1993, $29.95).

Cook beets, onion and marjoram in butter in a 4-quart pot over medium
heat until onion begins to soften slightly, about 10 minutes. Add
broth, partially cover pot, and simmer slowly for about 30 minutes,
until beets are completely soft.

Check them by trying to crush one against the side of the pot with a
wooden spoon. Simmer longer if necessary.

Puree soup in a blender or food processor. If you want soup to have a
smoother texture, strain it through a medium-mesh strainer. Add cream
of vinegar and bring soup back to a simmer. Season with salt and
pepper.

To serve, ladle into bowls and garnish with whipped cream, croutons
and herbs, or serve garnishes separately and let diners help
themselves.

Title: Pampushky (Raised Doughnuts With Filling)
Categories: Russian, Christmas, Bread
Servings: 10

2 tb Sugar
1/2 c ;Water
2 pk Active Dry Yeast
1/4 c Milk
5 c Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
-; Up To 6 May Be Needed
1/4 lb Butter; 1 Stick
1/2 c Sugar
2 lg Eggs
3 lg Egg Yolks
1 ts Salt; If Using Sweet Butter
1 ts Vanilla Extract
Zest Of One Lemon
1 c Rose Preserve Or Any Dry
-Fruit Preserve
Powdered Sugar; As Needed

Combine the sugar and water, sprinkle with the yeast, and let stand until
soft. Heat the milk to lukewarm, and add the milk and 1/4 cup of the
flour to the yeast mixture. Beat well, cover and allow to rise until
light and bubbly, about 10 minutes. In another bowl, cream the butter and
sugar. Beat eggs and egg yolks together, blending well and combine with
the sugar-butter mixture, beating thoroughly until the eggs are pale
white. Grate a lemon on a fine grater until all of the yellow color is
grated off and add this (the zest), vanilla, and the yeast mixture to the
butter-egg mixture. Mix in 4 cups of flour. If the dough seems a little
loose, add a little more, but the dough should be soft. Knead, by hand,
for about 10 minutes. Replace in a greased bowl, turning once to grease
the top, and cover with a damp towel, set in a warm place until double in
bulk. Punch down, knead a few more times, and allow to rise again until
the dough is doubled. When doubled, divide the dough into 4 parts. On a
lightly floured surface, roll one part into a rectangle about 1/4-inch
thick, turning once or twice during the rolling to achieve a uniform
thickness. Dust with flour sparingly. Place 1 ts of rose preserve at
evenly space intervals on the dough, or with a 2 1/2-inch cutter, gently
form impressions and place the filling in each. Roll another portion out,
as above, to the same thickness, and gently cover the first, overlapping a
little. (Filling will show through.) Cut circles with the cutter. Place
them on a lightly floured cookie sheet and allow rise until double in
size. Repeat until all of the dough is used, rolling out the scraps last.
Heat oil or shortening to 375 degrees F. in a deep fryer or wide skillet.
Test the temperature by frying a piece of bread; it should bubble and turn
golden quickly. The fat should not be smoking. Fry 5 or 6 pampushky at
a time. Do NOT crowd as this lowers the temperature and the doughnuts
will absorb too much grease. When one side is golden, flip with a spoon
to fry the other side. Dough will puff up in the frying. Perfect
pampushky are light as air. Drain on paper towels. When slightly cooled,
sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Serve with tea.
