Subject: Baked Alaska Cake
Hi I remember a recipe long ago that was made when I visited friends in our neighborhood
when I was around 12. The cake was Baked Alaska. It was a cake I think Pound Cake and ice
cream in the center and a meringue on top and I don't know how but it was sort of burned
on top but the ice cream was not soft. Thank you.. My name is Patricia from NJ.
I hope I requested this correctly thanks again..Pat.
Hi Patricia,
See below.

Easy Baked Alaska
1 Sara Lee pound cake
1 pt. ice cream, any flavor, frozen hard
4 egg whites
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. sugar
Pinch salt
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cover cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Place pound cake in center
of sheet. Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, sugar and salt until stiff meringue forms. Cut ice
cream, container and all, in half vertically. Place each half-pint on top of pound cake with
larger ends together in middle. Cover cake and ice cream entirely with meringue as evenly as
possible, making sure to seal all edges (this prevents ice cream from melting). Bake for 5 minutes
or until meringue is lightly browned. Serve immediately either plain or with your favorite ice
cream topping. Store leftovers, if any, covered in freezer.

Phaedrus,
I used to have a recipe for a french bread that rose in the refrigerator. Unfortunately,
I cannot find it or the book it was in.
It did not involve a starter, it was a straight yeast dough recipe with 2 rises. One that
was a standard and the second was in the refrigerator. It could last from 2 hours to overnight.
Thanks,
Sheri
Hi Sheri,
See below.
Phaed
Refrigerator French Bread
2 1/2 c. water
2 tbsp. butter or margarine
3 c. all-purpose flour
2 pkgs. yeast
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. salt
3 1/4 to 3 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
Salad oil
Cold water
1 egg white
1 tbsp. water
Heat water and butter to 120 degrees. In large bowl combine 3 cups flour, yeast, sugar,
salt and warm water mixture. Mix at high speed for 3 minutes. Mix in 3 1/4 of flour;
knead. If dough is sticky, knead in enough of remaining 1/2 cup flour to form a stiff
dough. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise
in a warm place for 30 minutes. Punch down and divide into 2 equal parts. Roll each
into a 15x8 inch rectangle on lightly floured board. Roll each up tightly, jelly-roll
style beginning at long side. Seal edges and ends well by rolling with hands. Place
seam side down diagonally on greased 17x14 inch baking sheet. Slash top of loaves
diagonally at 2 inch intervals with a sharp knife. Brush with oil; cover. Refrigerate
2-24 hours. When ready to bake, remove from refrigerator, uncover. Let stand 10 minutes.
Brush breads with slightly beaten egg white and water. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven
for 35-40 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

Subject: recipe for poppy seed cracker
This receipe was originally made in Jewish households. It is a very hard round cracker
(approximately 1/4" thick)
The recipe uses flour, baking powder, black poppy seeds, fried onions, salt and pepper.
I think it contains oil vs eggs to hold the mixture together.
When baked it remains very light in color, brown around the edges only, and tastes very
floury. Butter is usually smeared on top prior to eating.
I would be greatful if you could locate this receipe. Thank you, Phyllis
Hello Phyllis,
