Submitted
by: Angelsgifts |
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely grated Cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon cold water |
1/2
teaspoon hot chili powder
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 large pinch cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1/4 cup butter or margarine |
Preheat oven to
400°F (205°C.). Sift flour, salt and spices into a bowl. Cut in
butter finely until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add grated
cheese and mix well. Mix egg with cold water. Add 2 tablespoons
of egg mixture to cheese mixture and mix to form a fairly stiff
dough. Knead gently on a lightly floured surface. Roll out dough
to a 12x6" rectangle. Trim edges. Cut in half lengthwise and
transfer to a baking sheet. Brush each half with remaining egg
mixture. Sprinkle one half with sesame seeds and the other half
with poppy seeds. Cut each half in 10 triangles and separate
slightly to prevent sticking. Bake in preheated oven 10-12
minutes or until light golden and cooked through. Cool on a wire
rack. Serves: 20.
Note: Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks. |
Cocktail Crunch
Submitted
by: Angelsgifts |
3 oz
rye flakes
1 teaspoon (heaped) coriander seeds
3 oz jumbo oat flakes
1 teaspoon (heaped) cumin seeds
3 oz Barley flakes
1 tablespoon Garam marsala
3 oz wheat flakes
1 teaspoon tumeric |
3 oz
peanut kernals, not salted or dryroast
3 tablespoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons peanut oil
2 oz flaked almonds
1 tablespoon Soy sauce
2 oz sunflower seeds
5 tablespoons water
|
Crush the
coriander and cumin lightly. Mix them with the nuts and seeds on
two baking trays. Set the oven to 375°F (190°C), gas mark 5 and
put the baking trays into the oven while it heats up. Meanwhile
measure the flaked grains and mix them together in a large bowl.
Put into a cup the Garam marsala, tumeric, a good grinding of
black pepper, a scrunch of sea salt, the soy, both sorts of oil
and the water. When the oven has reached the required
temperature, stir the nut and seed mixture with the flaked
grains. Beat the spicy oil-and-water mixture with a fork to
emulsify it, pour it on to the dry ingredients and stir for 2
minutes. Spread the mixture out on to the baking trays and bake
for 40 minutes until golden. Swap the positions of the trays in
the oven at least once during this time and stir the mixture
occasionally to encourage even cooking. Let the mixture become
cold and crunchy before storing in an airtight jar. Makes enough
to fill one jar.
Note: It keeps well for about a month. |
