Subject: candied walnuts
My mom used to make these candied walnuts... and I have lost
the recipe!! If memory serves me well, it asked for white Karo
syrup, as well as granulated sugar, etc.... you had to cook the
syrup until a soft ball was reached. Would you happen to know
of this recipe??
Thank You!
Beth from Northern California

Chrusciki (Polish Bow Tie Cookies)
Makes 7 dozen
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 large eggs
5 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pure orange extract
1 teaspoon pure lemon extract
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon rum
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
Pure vegetable shortening, for deep-frying
Sifted confectioners' sugar, for sprinkling
1. Melt butter, and combine with eggs, egg yolks,
granulated sugar, salt, extracts, vinegar, rum, and
sour cream in a large, heavy mixer. Using the paddle
attachment, beat on medium-high until lemon colored.
Add citrus zests. Gradually add enough flour to produce
a fairly stiff dough. Turn out onto a floured board,
and knead for 8 to 10 minutes, adding flour if necessary,
until dough blisters, becomes elastic, and can be handled
easily. Cut dough in half, and wrap one half with plastic
wrap; reserve at room temperature.
2. Roll half of dough very, very thin, and cut into
strips about 4 inches long and 1 1/4 inches wide. Cut the
ends on a diagonal. Slit each piece in the center, and pull
one end through the slit. Place on a parchment-lined baking
sheet, and cover with a towel to keep moist. Repeat with
other half of dough.
3. Heat shortening in a cast-iron frying pan to 375°, and
fry the dough strips, a few at a time until lightly browned,
about 1 minute, turning once with a long fork or tongs.
4. Drain chrusciki on brown paper bags; transfer to a
cooling rack, and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Store,
tightly covered, in wax-paper-lined tins. Note: This recipe
makes an enormous quantity, so it can be halved if you wish,
but do not divide the orange, lemon, and vanilla extracts.

Subject: cinnamon star cookies
I am looking for a recipe for cinnamon star cookies which were
made at the Holidays only by the now defunct Hough Bakeries in
Cleveland, Ohio. Can you help?
Thanks
Gary
Hello Gary,
Sorry, there are still no Hough bakery recipes online. However, below are two cinnamon star cookie recipes that I did find.
Phaed
Christmas Cinnamon Stars
What you need:
2 cups (about 2/3 lb.) unblanched almonds, finely chopped
3 egg whites
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 tsp grated lemon peel
3/4 tsp cinnamon
Lightly grease and flour two cookie sheets. Shake off excess flour
and set aside. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks are formed. and
gradually add 1 confectioners' sugar. Beat egg white/sugar mixture
for 5 min. with an electric mixer on medium speed. Blend in lemon
peel and cinnamon. Set aside 1/2 cup of the meringue mixture.
Fold almonds into remaining meringue mixture. Gently pat or roll out
3/8 in. thick on board sprinkled with confectioners' sugar. Lightly
sprinkle the top of the dough with more confectioners' sugar. Cut out
stars with a star-shape cookie cutter dipped in confectioners' sugar.
Carefully place stars on cookie sheets. Drop 1/2 tsp of the reserved
meringue onto each cookie, drawing meringue out onto each point of the
star. Bake at 325°F about 20 min. Immediately remove cookies from
cookie sheets to cooling racks.
Makes about three dozen cookies.
-------------------------------------
Cinnamon Stars
1 1/4 cup Flour
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Ground walnuts or pecans, etc
2 Egg yolks
Grated rind of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Ground cloves
10 tablespoons Sweet butter
-------------------Icing---------------------
1/2 cup Confectioners sugar
1 Egg white
2 tablespoon Lemon juice
2 drops Yellow food coloring (opt.)
A must on your Christmas cookie tray. Despite
the lemony frosting, the cinnamon flavor
comes through.
On a pastry board, mix flour, sugar and
walnuts. Form a mound, make a well and add
the egg yolks, lemon rind and spices. Cut the
butter in small pieces and add to the flour
mixture. Knead thoroughly to make a smooth
dough.
Let dough rest for 30 minutes in the
refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 350Fø. Roll dough out with a
rolling pin to 1/8- inch thick and cut into
star shapes with a cookie cutter. Bake at
350ø until cookies are lightly browned, about
10 minutes. Let cool and decorate with the
icing.
To make icing, mix sugar, egg white, lemon
juice and yellow food coloring (if using) in
a bowl until very smooth. (Icing has to be
thick enough so it will not run off stars.)
Spread evenly with a pointed knife on the
stars.
Let icing dry overnight. Store in a cookie
tin.
Note: If you like a less sweet cookie, omit
the icing.
Yield: 6 dozen

Hello Mary,
Invert sugar is created by combining a sugar syrup with a small amount of
acid (such as cream of tartar or lemon juice) and heating. This inverts, or
breaks down, the sucrose into its two simpler components, glucose and
fructose, thus reducing the size of the sugar crystals. Because of its
smaller crystal structure, invert sugar produces a smoother product and is
used in making candies such as fondant, and some syrups.
Invert sugar can usually be found in jars in cake-decorating supply shops.
