Have ready: clean lint-free dish towel and cookie sheet larger than
jelly roll pan. Preheat oven to 400; prepare 10"x15"x1" jelly roll
pan by greasing it, lining bottom and sides with wax paper, and
greasing wax paper. Bring eggs to room temperature and separate. Mix
flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. Beat yolks until thick and
pale. Gradually add 6T sugar, beating well after each addition.
Mixture should fall in thick ribbon when beaters are lifted. Add
vanilla and beat again. With clean dry beaters, beat egg whites until
foamy. Gradually add remaining sugar, beating constantly, until
whites stand in firm, glossy, moist peaks. Fold 1/3 whites into yolk
mixture to lighten it, then fold remaining whites in too. Gradually
fold dry ingredients into egg mixture; fold in gently but thoroughly.
Spread batter evenly in prepared pan, making sure to get it into the
corners. Put pan into oven immediately. Bake 10-12 minutes, just
until cake is golden on top and tester comes out clean. Do not
overbake. Remove from oven; working quickly, cover jelly roll pan
FIRST with clean towel, then with inverted cookie sheet. Turn over
pan, towel, and sheet to turn out cake. Remove jelly roll pan; peel
off wax paper. Slide towel and cake onto counter; cake is wrong side
up. Cut off any crisp edges, fold one end of towel over short end of
cake, and roll cake in towel. Place rolled cake seam side down on
wire rack or cookie sheet to cool completely. CHESTNUT BUTTERCREAM
FILLING: combine sugar, egg yolk, salt, vanilla, and cream; beat for
8 minutes at medium speed. Without washing beaters, cream butter
until light. Add yolk mixture a little at a time, beating well after
each addition. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating well after each
addition. Set basic buttercream aside. Puree chestnuts with butter,
cream, and powdered sugar. Stir chestnut puree into buttercream,
blending thoroughly. If necessary, thin with a little more cream to
bring to very spreadable consistency. MOCHA SILK FROSTING: powder
instant coffee by placing in plastic bag and crushing with rolling
pin. Mix together sugar, cocoa, and coffee. Add remaining ingredients
and beat for 1 minute at medium speed. If necessary, add a little
more cream to make frosting easy to spread. Unroll cooled cake,
leaving it on towel; don't worry about the cake looking deflated, it
will perk up soon. Spread 1/2 c frosting evenly over cake, all the
way to the edges. Spread 2 c filling over thin layer of frosting,
pushing generous amount into curved end. Roll up again, without towel
but using it to help roll. Place cake, seam side down, on cake plate
or tray. Remove any excess villing from ends and seam edge.
Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm filling. Trim and discard (or eat!) a
thin slice from one end of chilled cake; cut and reserve wedge from
other end. Spread a small amount of filling on top center of cake and
press reserved wedge on it to make the "knothole." Frost entire cake
with remaining frosting, building frosting up around sides of
"knothole." Do NOT cover knothold top! Work frosting as far under
roll as possible. Repeatedly draw narrow metal spatula lengthwise
through frosting to simulate rough texture of bark. Snip pieces of
angelica into leaf shapes and cut glace cherries in half to make log
decorations. Keep cake refrigerated until serving; it is much easier
to slice when cold and firm. Before serving, surround cake with holly
and cranberries.

or until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid which
Site News they make has boiled away. Remove from the heat and
Submit a Recipe season to taste.
When the filling mixture has cooled, you can assemble

the strudel, which can then be cooked straight away,
or kept in the fridge for a few hours until you're
ready, or in the freezer for at least a month. I find
it easiest to assemble the studel directly on to a
large baking sheet, which means you don't have to lift
it later.
Set the oven to 200 C/400 F/Gas Mark 6.
If you have the type of filo pastry which is long and

narrow -- about 30 x 20 cm (12 x 8 inches) -- lay two
sheets side by side, overlapping them slightly where
they join. If you have the type which is quite large
~- about 30 cm (12 inches) or so square -- lay out one
sheet. Either way, brush the surface with a little
melted butter and then sprinkle with a third of the
nuts. Put another layer of filo pastry on top, brush
with butter, and scatter with nuts. Repeat with
another layer, then a final layer of filo pastry,
which you just brush with butter. Now tip the tomato
filling mixture on top and spread it to about 2.5 cm
(1 inch) of the edges. Fold the edges over, to enclose
the edge of the filling then, starting from one of the
widest edges, roll the whole thing up like a Swiss
Roll, trying not to let it break (although it's not
the end of the world if it does). Brush with melted
butter and garnish with some shreds or shapes of filo
pastry.
Put the strudel into the oven and bake for 30 minutes,
or until golden brown. Transfer carefully to a
serving dish with the aid of two fish slices.

Submit a Recipe and turn out dough onto a lightly floured countertop
or cutting board. Gently roll and stretch dough into
an 18-inch rope. Grease a large baking sheet(s).
With a sharp knife, divide the dough into 17 pieces.

Roll each piece into a ball and place it on the
greased baking sheet in the shape of a Christmas tree,
spaced about a half-inch apart; 5 balls for the bottom
roll, 4 balls for the next row, 3 balls for the next
row, 2 balls for the next row, and 1 ball at the top.
Combine the remaining 2 balls into 1 large ball,
gently roll it into a thick rope and shape it into an
"S" to form the tree trunk.
VARIATION: This recipe makes one large Christmas tree

coffee cake. To create 2, 4, or 6 smaller trees,
simply divide the dough into 2, 4, or 6 pieces
initially and then follow the directions for dividing
up the dough and shaping each tree.
3. Cover and let rise in a warm oven for 30 to 45

minutes until doubled. (Hint: To warm oven slightly,
turn oven on Warm setting for 1 minute, then turn it
off, and place covered dough in oven to rise. Remove
from oven to preheat.) Remove baking sheet(s) from
oven. Preheat oven to 375 F.
4. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Cool on

a cake rack.
5. When the coffee cake(s) is cooled, in a small

bowl, combine the icing ingredients, adding enough
liquid to make the icing thin enough to spread over
the coffee cake. Spread each roll with icing, then
decorate with cinnamon red hot candies.

Joyce's Notes: For a cinnamon nut coffee cake, I

added 1 tsp. of cinnamon and about 1/2 cups chopped
pecans. Good!! I also made 2 trees by dividing the
dough in half, then making 12 balls, using 10 for the
tree and 2 for the trunk.

Make the cookie dough: Stir or whisk together 4 1/2 cups of the
Miscellaneous & Other flour, the baking powder and salt; set aside. Cream the butter and
Other info: sugar until light; add the eggs, milk, and vanilla and beat well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients and blend to form a smooth ball of
About Us
dough. If the dough is sticky, add just enough of the remaining flour
Contact Us
to eliminate the stickiness. The dough should not be dry. Divide the
Site Map dough in half, wrap each ball in plastic and refrigerate for several
Site News hours, or until firm enough to roll.
Submit a Recipe Meanwhile, cut cardboard templates for the base and the three
parts of the cookie house. The dimensions are as follows: THE BASE:
is a circle 6" across (cut 1) THE SIDE: is a rectangle 2 3/8" x 3
1/2" (cut 2) THE FRONT/BACK: is funny shaped. It's 3" wide and 4 1/4"
tall (total height). From the bottom to the beginning of the "roof"
section is 2 3/8". At 2 3/8" cut up to form the "roof" top like an
upside down "V" (cut 2). Finally cut the ROOF: it's a rectangle 2
3/4" x 4 1/4".
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a flour-dusted cookie sheet or
the back of one jelly roll pan, roll out one ball of dough to
1/8"-1/4" thick. For each house cut one base, two sides, two
front/back pieces, and two roof pieces. Lay out the cardboard
patterns on the dough, leaving 1 1/2" between them. The layout will
depend on the size of your cookie sheet and how many houses you are
making. Use a sharp knife to cut around each template, removing
excess dough as you cut. Wipe the knife frequently. Repeat the
rolling and cutting process to make the remaining pieces. If you want
some small trees in front of your house, make them using a cookie
cutter.
Bake both sheets of cookies at the same time, for 10-15 minutes
reemoving pieces when they are done (preferable to overbake than
underbake since we need firm cookies). The cookies may brown, but
this is O.K. Transfer immediately to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorate the pieces before assembling the houses. You can do
this many ways. Mostly use your imagination. Frost or pipe/apply
candies to the "wet" icing. To "sugar-coat" areas, brush on egg-wash
(being careful not to touch any piping or decorations); then sprinkle
immediately with colored sugar. Tap gently to shake off excess sugar.
Set aside to dry for half an hour.
Next to assemble houses. Use the #7 icing tip . Pipe a thick
line of icing along edges to be put together and "glue" the houses
together and on the base. Make sure to do one area at a time and hold
until icing sets. Let all set for a few minutes. When icing is firm,
do any finishing touches. MAKES THREE COOKIE HOUSES WITH BASES The

Europe 12 Eggs, separated

Browse by type: 2 t Nutmeg (or less)
Main Dishes 1/2 c Sugar
Soups & Stuff Separate the 12 eggs. Set the whites aside in the 'fridge, tightly covered
Baked Goods for safety, as they won't be needed until much later. Beat the yolks until
Fruits, Grains & Vegetables they noticeably lighten in color. From here on out, an industrial-strength
On the Side mixer (Kitchen-Aid K5, for instance) is a big help.
Sweets & Desserts
Snacks & Appetizers Continue beating the yolks while adding the confectioner's sugar. Beat for
about 4 minutes or until the mixture turns much lighter yellow and takes on

a satin-like texture. While still beating, slowly add about 2 cups liquor.
Restricted & Special Diets [If you decide you need more, this is NOT where you put it in.]
Other info: After the liquor is thoroughly beaten in, cover the mixture with plastic
wrap or aluminum foil and let it stand for 1 hour at room temperature. This
About Us
is to cook the eggs and takes much longer if you refrigerate. [I lay
Contact Us plastic wrap right down on top of the mixture to avoid any possible skin
Site Map that might form.]
Site News
Submit a Recipe After standing, add the heavy whipping cream, unwhipped! You could try
whipping it first, but again, you are on your own. Add the nutmeg. OPTION:
At this point, the original recipe calls for adding an additional 2-4 cups
of liquor, but I omitted this as it passed a taste-test as-is. If you want
your 'Nog a LOT stronger, have at it, but please taste before you pour.
Mix thoroughly, again. Refrigerate the mixture for 3 hours to let it

ripen. I use two large juice containers. It splits nicely between them and
will fit in our 'fridge. [Overnight is good, if you're making it for, say,
Christmas day, but see the safety note below if you intend to let it sit
overnight.]
At the end of the 3 hours, remember where you put the egg whites. Beat
them until stiff but not dry, adding about 1/2 cup sugar to slightly
sweeten the whites. N.B.: 12 egg whites whip into quite a mass, so be
prepared. [You can also whip them 6 at a time. This is probably a very
good idea if you're doing it in a Kitchen Aid, since 12 might overflow the
bowl.]
Pour the whites into the serving bowl you will be using. Then gently and
slowly pour the other mixture into the bowl, mixing with a whisk to fold it
all together. The whites should be smoothly and evenly distributed
through the 'Nog to make it fluffy. They will lose some of their bulk so
don't be afraid to mix thoroughly. Sprinkle the top with some more nutmeg,
and serve. A shaker of nutmeg by the bowl is a nice touch for those wanting
a shake on their own mugful. [The first time I made this recipe, I had to
keep re-stirring the mixture. The only difference I can think of is that
the second time I didn't add sugar to the egg whites.]
NOTES:
* Wonderful Eggnog -- I got this recipe from net.cooks back in 1982. It

was posted by Mike O'Dell (known around the network as mo). I have made it
for the last two Christmases, and find it quite good. The recipe is
basically as he posted it. I have added a few comments in brackets.
Apparently he served it at a party at LBL-CSAM that year.
This wonderful formula was handed down to me from my grandmother, who got
it from her mother and grandmother. I heartily recommend it as a superior
lubricant for the festive season. Yield: Makes about 16 cups.
* [This makes a large amount of eggnog. Last year I made a half recipe,
which sufficed for the 10 or so people we had then. This year I made the
whole thing, and 16 people left some over (some of them don't drink,
though).]
Powered sugar will do nicely, and even granulated would probably work if
you beat long enough.
* For the liquor, use bourbon, rum, vodka, Canadian blended, or whatever
you like. Being a bourbon fan, I used that in the batch for the CSAM party.
The others should work but I haven't tried them. Depending on taste, you
may want more than this. [I used rum the times I made it.] Enjoy!!!
Difficulty: moderate; Time: 1/2 hour preparation, 3 hours waiting;

Precision: no need to measure.
