Subject: Re: hazelnut cooking lost and now they are found!!
Date: Friday, November 15, 2002 11:39 PM
I got the recipes you sent and I thank you kindly. The e mail ended
up going into my daughter, Daniella's, e mail. She was a little
surprised to see it there but that's ok, I got it now!
Much to my pleasant surprise, as I was looking for another recipe
written in the back of one of my recipe books, low and behold I
found my original hazelnut cookie recipe. This recipe is so tasty
I would like to share it with you and anyone else who is interested.
Chocolate Hazelnut Butter Crisps
2 1/4 cups (550 mls) all purpose flour
1/4 tsp (4mls) salt
1 1/4 cups (300 mls) butter, softened
1 1/2 cups (325 mls) icing sugar
2 tsp (10mls) vanilla
1 cup (250 mls) ground unblanched hazelnuts, toasted
Semi-sweet chocolate squares, melted
Whole hazelnuts
Additional icing sugar (optional)
Stir together flour and salt. Cream butter, gradually beat
in sugar and vanilla. Gradually add dry ingredients to
creamed mixture; blend until smoothly combined. Stir in nuts.
Form dough into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls. Place 1 dozen at a
time on ungreased cookie sheet; flatten to rounds about
2 inches (5 cm) in diameter with bottom of glass dipped in
flour. Bake in 325 (160 °C) oven, 10 min or until lightly
browned. Cool. Dip half of each cookie into melted chocolate;
garnish with whole hazelnuts.
Let stand on wire rack until chocolate sets. Dust with icing
sugar, if desired. Makes about 6 dozen.
These are sooo yummy. Hope you all enjoy them as much as my
family does. (And they are a beautiful cookie too!)
Thanks again for you help. Angie.

Hello Bud,
Below is the only thing I can find.
Phaed
Beer Roasted Turkey And Chicken
Ingredients :
1 to 2 cans beer
Butter
Preparation :
Wash turkey well. Pour 1 to 2 cans beer over turkey.
Baste with butter. When you need to baste the turkey,
make sure you have enough beer. It shouldn't absorb
too much. The turkey will be really moist and tender.
Even the white meat is real moist. You can also do the
same thing when roasting chicken with 1 can beer. Cut up
chicken. Pour beer over chicken. Baste 1 or 2 times
during cooking. The dippings also make excellent gravy.

Hello Bridget,
Native Americans were eating blueberries and mixing them with other foods
long before America was discovered by the Europeans. When the first
colonists settled in New England, the Indians taught them that blueberries
were good to eat. The colonists began putting them in puddings and pies and
the like almost at once, mainly because they were very similar to
bilberries, which the colonists had eaten back in Europe. So, the first
blueberry "pie" would have been made in New England in the mid-1600s. I
doubt seriously whether anyone can narrow it down any more than that.

Wilton is a company that produces cake molds and other
confection supplies.
The lollipop molds were sold through a catalog in the 60's
or 70's. They were 2 piece, and cast if I remember right.
Reindeers, trees very fancy.
