1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
2 cup flour, sifted, all-purpose
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup raisins
1 zest & juice of one orange
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 lb smoked turkey breast thinly sliced
3/4 cup quince jelly
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter mini-muffin tins. Cream 1 cup
sugar and butter until smooth. Add eggs and beat until fluffy. Add
baking soda to buttermilk. Sift flour and salt together and add to
sugar-butter mixture alternately with buttermilk. Stir until well
mixed. In food processor, grind raisins and orange zest. Add to
batter and mix. Spoon batter into buttered muffin tins and bake until
golden brown and firm to touch, about 12 minutes. Remove tins to rack
and set close together. Brush tops of muffins with orange juice and
sprinkle with remaining 1/2 c sugar while still warm. After five
minutes, turn out from pans. Cool completely before cutting each
muffin in half. Cut turkey into small pieces and put a small amount
on each muffin bottom. Top turkey with 1/2 tsp quince jelly, cover
with muffin top, and serve. Formatted by Theresa Grant, HWWK11B, from

The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, these, ancient cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Closer to modern times, we have a couple of interesting recipe books which date from the 1300s : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the rich people of the time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused an outbreak in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
