Snow pudding

Put a pint of milk in the double-boiler and on the fire. Mix three
tablespoonfuls of cornstarch with a gill of milk and one-third of a
teaspoonful of salt. Stir this into the milk when it boils. Beat the
whites of four eggs to a stiff froth, and then gradually beat into them
half a cupful of powdered sugar and one teaspoonful of vanilla. Add this
to the cooking mixture, and beat vigorously for one minute. Rinse a
mould in cold water, and pouring the pudding into it, set away to cool.
At serving-time turn out on a flat dish, and serve with chocolate sauce.

Kolache

That’s Czech national baking goodie, so favourite in American households and sometimes encounter fruit-topped, yeast-leavened buns in
bake shops where many of these people live, such as Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin. To make the work easier on baking day, make the filling (or fillings if you want to use more than one) a day ahead, cover and refrigerate.

/2  cup milk
2 pkgs. active dry yeast
1/2  cup warm water (110 to 115*)
3/4  cup butter or regular margarine
1/2  cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
4 egg yolks
4 1/2  cup sifted flour
Fillings (recipe below)
2 tbsp. melted butter
2 tbsp. sifted confectioners sugar

Scald milk; cool to lukewarm.  ( I have learned from the newsgroups scalding is
not necessary anymore) Sprinkle yeast on warm water; stir to dissolve. Cream
together butter, sugar, salt and egg yolks until light and fluffy.  Add yeast,
milk and 1 1/2  cup flour.  Beat at medium speed 5 minutes, scraping bowl
occasionally.  Batter should be smooth.  Stir in enough remaining flour, a
little at a time, to make a soft dough that leaves the sides of bowl.  Place in
lightly greased bowl; turn dough over to grease top.  Cover and let rise in warm
place until doubled, 1 to 1 hour 30 minutes. Stir down; turn onto lightly
floured board and divide into 24 equal pieces.  Shape each piece into a ball.
Cover and let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Place dough balls 2″ apart on greased
baking sheets; press each ball of dough from center outward with fingers of both
hands to make a hollow in center with a 1/2″ rim around the edge.  Fill each
hollow with 1 level tbsp. filling.  Cover and let rise in warm place until
doubled, 30 to 40 minutes. Bake in 350* oven 15 to 18 minutes or until browned.
Brush tops of rolls lightly with melted butter and sprinkle lightly with
confectioners sugar.  Remove from baking sheets and place on racks.  Makes 2 dozen or four big pieces.

Fillings for Kolaches

Prune:  cook 30 prunes in water to cover until tender; drain.  Mash with fork;
stir in 1/4  cup sugar and 1/4 tsp. ground allspice.  Filling should be thick.

Thick Apricot:  cook 25 dried apricot halves in water to cover until tender;
drain.  Press apricots through strainer or food mill (or blend in blender).
Stir in 1/4  cup sugar.  Filling should be thick.  Makes enough filling for 10
kolaches.

Prune/Apricot:  Simmer 1  cup prunes and 3/4  cup dried apricot halves in water
to cover until tender; drain.  Chop and mash with fork.  Stir in 1/2  cup sugar,
1 tbsp. orange juice and 1 tbsp. grated orange peel.  Filling should be thick.

Anglesay Eggs

Wales has memorable cuisine with gastronomical experience, with fine old reputation for kindness and hospitality. Anglesay eggs are ideal for brunch. Think simplier form of full and heavy English breakfast and lighter form of late cosy lunch. All ingredients are healthy. Leek, potatoes and cheese with eggs are yummy. Just stir the pot. Grilled until crisp on the top. Easy for idiot.

450g (1lb) potatoes, peeled
3 leeks, chopped
50g (2oz) butter
50g (2oz) flour
600ml (1 pint) milk
75g (3oz) Caerphilly cheese, grated
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 eggs, hardboiled and shelled

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until soft. Cook the leeks in salted water for 10 minutes, or add the potatoes for the last 10 minutes of their cooking time. Drain well, then combine, season and mash together.
  2. Make a cheese sauce by melting the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour and cook for a minute, then gradually stir in the milk and bring to the boil to thicken. Season well and add half of the cheese.
  3. Take 4 individual dishes – ramekins or scallop shells are ideal – and with a fork arrange the leek and potato mixture around the sides. Chop the eggs and put in the middle of each dish. Cover with the cheese sauce and sprinkle over the remaining cheese.
  4. Brown quickly under a hot grill or heat through in a very hot oven (gas 8, 450ºF, 230ºC) for 10 minutes.
