Crumpets1/2 tsp (2 ml) sugar 2 Tbs (30 ml) lukewarm water 1 cup (250 ml) all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt 1/2 cup (125 ml) milk 1 egg 1 Tbs (15 ml) melted butter Additional butter for frying Stir together the yeast, sugar, and water in a small bowl and allow to proof for 10 minutes. Sift together the flour and salt in a mixing bowl and stir in the yeast mixture, milk, egg, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of melted butter. Beat vigorously until the batter is smooth. Allow to rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Heat a small amount of butter in a large skillet over moderate heat, and butter the insides of the ring molds. Place the ring molds in the skillet and pour about 1 tablespoonful (15 ml) of the batter into each ring. Remove the rings when the crumpets begin to bubble and the bottoms start to brown. Turn the crumpets over and brown the other side. Serve immediately with butter, jams, or marmalade. Makes about 10 crumpets to serve 4 to 6. Deviled Kidneys2 Tbs (30 ml) Dijon-style mustard 2 tsp (10 ml) dry English mustard 2 tsp (10 ml) lemon juice Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Cayenne pepper to taste (optional) 8 - 12 whole lamb kidneys, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise Mix together the chutney, mustards, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and optional cayenne in a large bowl.

Bagels4 Tbs (60 ml) butter 1 Tbs (15 ml) sugar 1 tsp (5 ml) salt 1 package (1 Tbs, 15 ml) active dry yeast 1 egg 3¾ cups (950 ml) all-purpose flour, sifted Combine the milk, butter, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan and heat until just warm and the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the yeast and allow to proof for 10 minutes. Combine the egg, flour, and milk mixture in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Knead the dough, adding more flour if necessary, for 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl and allow to rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down and divide into 18 pieces. Roll each piece into a log about 7 inches (18 cm) long and tapered at the ends. Form the dough into a ring, wetting the ends to help seal the ends of the dough. Let rise, covered, on a floured board for 15 minutes. Drop the rings, one or two at a time, into a large pot of boiling water. The bagels should sink and begin to float almost immediately. Turn the bagels when they float to the surface and boil for 3 minutes. Remove the bagels with a slotted spoon and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Mist lightly with water immediately upon removing them from the oven and allow to cool. Makes 18 bagels.

Turn onto a floured surface and knead for 1 minute. Place in a greased bowl, cover loosely with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in volume, about 2 hours. Punch down the dough and divide into 6 to 12 pieces. Keep all pieces lightly floured and covered. Flatten each piece of dough into a disk from 6 to 8 inches (15 - 20 cm) in diameter. Working in batches of 3 to 4, lightly flour each disk and place on a baking stone (preferable) or baking sheet that has been heated in a preheated 500°F (260°C) oven.

Greek Easter Bread
For the glaze:Soft butterSesame seeds (optional) In a large bowl mix yeast with warm water, then stir in milk, butter and salt. Add the anise seed, the beaten eggs, the sugar, and grated orange peel. Keep stirring while adding the flour. When the mixture is stiff, turn out on a floured surface and knead about 10 minutes, until smooth and satiny. Clean the bowl and grease it well. Put the dough in the bowl, and turn so all surfaces are oiled; cover with plastic and let rise about 2 hours, until doubled. Punch the dough down, knead briefly and divide in half to make the two different shapes (or make two loaves of the same shape if you prefer). To make a round loaf with a cross with one half of the dough, first tear off a piece of dough, about one-fifth the whole amount. Form the larger piece into a round and put it on a greased baking sheet. Center one red egg on the top of the round. Divide the reserved piece in half and roll out 2 long strips. Place these over the egg in the form of a cross, tucking the ends under the loaf. To make a braided crown with the other half, divide the dough in thirds and roll out into ropes at least 2 feet (60 cm) long. Braid the ropes together, pinching the ends securely and then form into a circle on a greased baking sheet, pinching again the ends where they overlap. Nestle 4 red eggs in among the braids. Cover both loaves with a kitchen towel and let rise 1 hour. Bake in a preheated 350°F (180°C) oven for 30 minutes. Remove and brush immediately with butter, then sprinkle on optional sesame seeds.

The dough should be fairly firm. Allow the dough to rest, covered with a dish cloth, for 15 minutes. Divide the dough into 4 to 6 pieces. Roll each piece into a round 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick. Heat a flat griddle or large skillet over moderate heat. Cook the dough, one piece at a time, pressing it down occasionally with a spatula, until cooked and lightly browned on the bottom. Turn the dough and repeat. The dough may balloon slightly during cooking. Repeat with remaining pieces of dough. Makes 4 to 6 pieces. Shirred EggsGreen Chili Cornbread

Will keep for several weeks. Makes about 40 cookies. Baked Eggs Vinaigrette
Slice the tomatoes so as to obtain 8 thick slices, discarding the ends. Place the tomato slices in the bottom of a lightly greased glass baking dish. Slice the onions so as to obtain 8 thick slices, and remove the centers so that 8 large onion rings remain. Place these around the tomato slices. Carefully break an egg into each of the onion rings. Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper and pour this mixture over the eggs.

Portuguese Cornbread
Combine the yeast and half the cornmeal in a large mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup (125 ml) water and beat until smooth. Allow to rise in a warm spot until doubled in bulk, 30 to 45 minutes.
