3 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or
1 unbleached flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup butter or margarine
1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup ; warm water (105 degrees f
1/2 cup lemon yogurt
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp lemon rind, grated
1/2 to 1 cup sugar
1 nutmeg
Directions
Mix together flour and salt. Cut in butter. Dissolve yeast in
water. Set aside for 5 minutes until bubbly. Add yeast, yogurt, egg
and rind to flour, mixing well. Dough will be somewhat sticky. Wrap
in wax paper and chill for about 2 hours.
Roll half the dough on a lightly sugared board into an 8x16-inch
rectangle. Fold ends toward center, overlapping. Sprinkle with
sugar. Roll again to same size and repeat. Repeat a third time,
ending in the rectangle. Cut into 1x4-inch strips. Sprinkle with
nutmeg. Twist ends into opposite directions, stretching slightly.
Place on lightly greased cookie sheets or bend into the shape of a
horseshoe. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 10 to 15 minutes or until
lightly browned.
Tips: Plain yogurt can be substituted. The dough can be chilled
overnight if more convenient. Add 1 cup currants to the dough and
sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamon sugar for variety.

The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` back into ancient history, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, early records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Later, we have some interesting books from the 1300s : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the wealthy. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations was responsible for a surge in recipe manuscripts, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. The arrival of television brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
