" Italian Easter Bread "
Angel StarzNSky

1/4 c Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1 pk Dry yeast
2 1/2 To 3-1/2 cups unbleached flour
2/3 c Milk
2 tb Butter
2 Eggs, at room temperature
1/2 c Mixed candied fruit
1/3 c Chopped blanched almonds
1/2 tsp Anise seed
2 tb Melted shortening
5 Uncooked eggs colored with Easter Egg Dye

ICING: 
1 c Confectioner's sugar
1 tb Milk
1/8 ts Vanilla
Colored sprinkles

In a large mixing bowl, blend the sugar, salt, and yeast well with 1 cup of the flour. In a saucepan, combine milk and butter, heating slowly until liquid is warm and butter is melted. Pour the milk into the dry ingredients and beat 125 strokes with a wooden spoon. Add eggs and 1/2 cup flour or enough to make a thick batter. beat vigorously for 2 minutes. Then stir in enough flour to make a ball of dough that draws away from the sides of the bowl. Turn out onto a floured board and knead for about 10 minutes, working in additional flour to overcome stick- iness. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease the top. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and put in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk about 1 hour. Meanwhile, combine the fruit,nuts, and anise seed. Punch down the dough and return it to a lightly floured board. Knead in the fruit mixture, keeping the syrupy pieces dusted with flour until they are worked into the dough. Divide the dough in half. Carefully roll each piece into a 24 inch rope - the fruit and nuts will make this slightly difficult. Loosely twist the two ropes together and form a ring on a greased baking sheet. Pinch the ends together well. Brush the dough with melted shortening. Push aside the twist to make a place for each egg. Push eggs down carefully as far as possible. Cover the bread with wax paper and let rise in a warm,draft-free place until double in bulk, about 1 hour. Bake the bread in a preheated 350 F oven for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a twist comes out clean. Place on a wire rack to cool. Once the bread is cool, drizzle the icing on top between the eggs, and decorate with colored sprinkles. Yield: 1 loaf

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/3 cup light cream
2 tablespoons cold water (optional)

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Sift flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar together. Use a fork to "cut" the lard into the flour until it looks like coarse meal. Using a standing mixer, or a wooden spoon, mix the dough as you slowly add the cream. Mix well to form the dough into a ball, adding water if needed. Place the dough onto a tabletop, and knead slightly. With a mallet or a one-piece rolling pin, beat the dough a few times to form it into a rough rectangle.

" Southern Biscuits "
Angel StarzNSky

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup sweet milk

Sift dry ingredients into mixing bowl. Measure shortening and cut
into flour mixture with pastry blender, two knives or blending fork,
until mixture looks like meal. Stir in almost all the milk. If dough
does not seem pliable, add the remaining milk. Use enough milk to make
a soft, puffy dough, easy to roll out. Knead (fold dough over and press
lightly with heel of hand about six times) on a lightly floured board
(as lightly floured as you would powder your face).
Too much handling makes tough biscuits. Roll or pat out 1/4-inch thick
for thin crusty biscuits and 1/2-inch for thick soft biscuits. Cut and
place on ungreased cookie sheet, close together for biscuits with soft sides and an inch apart for biscuits with crusty sides. Bake 10 to
12 minutes at 450 degrees. Triple this recipe when making biscuits for
our freezer. For freezing, bake about 8 minutes at 450 degrees
(do not brown). Cool, freeze on cookie sheet and then put in bags.
To use, defrost and bake at 450 degrees until brown.
