Ingredients
CRUST
3 cup flour
2 tbsp baking powder salt
1 tsp sugar
1/2 cup lard
1 cup milk
FILLING
2 tbsp butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon water
Directions
Sift the dry ingredients together. Blend in the lard to form a coarse
mixture. Gradually add the milk until a soft dough is formed. Roll the
dough until it is fairly thin, although it should be thicker than a
regular pie crust. Butter the dough with soft butter, cover with 1/4
inch of brown sugar and sprinkle with cinnamon. Roll the dough up
like a jelly roll and slice into circles about 1/2 inch thick. Pour
water into a casserole dish. Put the sliced dough into the casserole
and bake at 375F for about 30 minutes or until the pets de soeur are
golden brown. VARIATION: Cranberry jam may be substituted for the
sugar and the cinnamon.
Servings: 1 servings

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into distant history, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. Moving on, there were two books which were published in the 14th Century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals eaten by the rich people of the time. During the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery publications were starting to become popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
