Impatient Floret

Trenchers (bread used as plates- not as sad as medieval ones) 1/2 cup warm water added to 1 1/2 teaspoon yeast and 1 1/2 tbsp honey. Let foam Mix in 1 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 tsp salt. Cover and allow to sit in warm spot for about and hour. Dust with flour and make 6 rounds. Put on cooking pan (on parchment), for another 45 minutes or so to plump up again. Bake at 350 for about 13 minutes. These would be good as pizza crusts to have in freezer, and even make a breakfast pizza with them. Good with hummus and honey (yes, tested). Need to use more water next time and test it with wheat to be more like a scary trencher :) The first I concocted were yummy, but too thin so I am adjusting the temp, time, and flour- will try this next time: Vanilla wafers for tiramisu     2 eggs     1/3 cup white sugar     1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract     1/16 teaspoon salt     1 cup all-purpose flour    ...

I went around and asked people their favourite cookies. One mentioned "Amaretto" So I went on a search and discovered he may mean amaretti. I try to go basic so things are as close to the original ancient or medieval recipe as possible: Test 1 egg sugar-1/2 cup 1 1/4- 1 1/3 cup almonds- grind fine. 1/4 tsp flavouring pinch of salt Divide the egg. Add salt to white and whip it up to soft peak. In the yolk bowl, add and mix well: ground almonds, flavouring and sugar. Fold in whites. Makes about a dozen. 325 for 10-15 minutes.
