1/4 c Butter, cold 1 pn Salt
1 1/3 c Flour, all-purpose 1 pn Nutmeg

5 oz Sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, Rub the butter into the
flour. In a small bowl, beat the egg with half of the sugar, add the egg
mixture and the remaining sugar to the butter and flour mixture. Add the
salt and nutmeg and mix well. Roll the dough between the palms of your
hands to form 18 pieces the size of a walnut; moisten your hands or flour
them for rolling the dough. Sprinkle dough pieces lightly with sugar and
place 2-3 inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with buttered craft paper.

Title: Crockpot Beef Stew
Categories: Main dish, Meat, Soup, Prodigy
Servings: 4
2 1/2 lb Beef, extra lean -canned,stewed tomatoes,
7 Carrots, 2" chunks -undrained (or plain)
2 1/2 Potatoes, cut in eighths 2 tb Flour (or 3)
2 1/2 Onions, sweet, cut in 1 ts Salt
-1/4" slices, slices 1/4 ts Pepper
-cut in half and separated 1/4 ts Thyme
-into rings. 1/4 ts Basil
1 Tomatoes, Italian-style 2 tb Worcestershire sauce (or 3)
Layer the veggies and meat (in that order), mix flour and seasonings and
sprinkle over each meat layer. Sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce, pour
stewed tomatoes over all, cover and cook on Low 10-12 hours.
Variable amounts are for 3-1/2 or 5 quart pots. I make mine up the night
before and refrigerate. My hubby (an early riser) puts it on about 7 AM
and it cooks all day. There is lots of gravy, which may be thickened with
cornstarch if de- sired. Sometimes instead of potatoes, I cook large elbow
macaroni separately (Muellers Ready-cut) and put the >>>>>> leftover
macaroni in the bowl with leftover stew to soak up the good gravy. I also
add a drained can of cut green beans to the veggies (during the last 4
hours) in that case.

Title: French Fantan Rolls
Categories: Breads, Prodigy
Servings: 24
1 c Milk, scalded 4 lg Eggs, beaten
1/2 c Butter (1 stick) 1/2 ts Butter extract (DON'T OMIT!)
1/2 c Sugar, granulated 1/8 ts Lemon extract (optional)
1 ts Salt 6 c Bread flour (approximately)
2 tb Yeast, active, dry (2 pkgs) 1/4 c Butter, melted
1/4 c Water (105- to 115-degrees)
Combine milk, butter, sugar and salt in a small saucepan.
Stir until the butter melts. Cool mixture to 105- to
115-degrees, use a thermometer.
Dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup warm water in a large mixing
bowl. Stir in the milk mixture, eggs, butter extract
and lemon extract (if used). Gradually stir in enough
flour to make a soft dough. I usually start out with
5-1/2 cups and add more until the dough is no longer
sticky and is soft and silky.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead
until smooth and elastic (or let your mixer do the work),
about 5 minutes.
Place dough into a large greased bowl, turning to coat
the top with oil. Cover and let rise in a warm place until
double in bulk, about 1 hour.
Punch down dough to get out the air bubbles. NOW, you
can either make the "fan-shaped" rolls (I don't, they
take too long) or any shape you'd like. I usually make
"clover" shaped rolls. If you'd like the "fan-shape"
directions, let me know and I'll post that later. You can
make one small lemon sized ball per roll or make 3
walnut-sized balls per roll (for the cloverleaf rolls).
Place one ball of dough or 3 walnut-sized balls per roll
into LARGE greased muffin cups. If you'd like (it's not
necessary), roll the balls of dough in the melted butter
before putting them into the pans.
Cover and let rise in a warm place to rise for about 30
minutes or until double in size. The rolls will "balloon"
in size once you put them into the oven, don't let the
risen size fool you, they DO get BIG.
Preheat oven to 425-degrees.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
After the first rising, punch down the dough and divide it
in half. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board.
Roll EACH half into a 12 x 6-inch rectangle. Brush 2
TBS butter over top of each rectangle. Cut each rectangle
into six 1-inch strips. Stack 6 strips of dough (or lay
them side-by-side, it's easier to me), butter-side up
on top of one another. Cut each stack into 12 pieces,
about 1-inch wide. Place stacks of dough into well
buttered LARGE muffin cups (sideways). Follow rising
directions in the recipe.

Servings: 12
3/4 c hot red pepper, seeded and chopped 3/4 c jalapeno pepper, seeded

Wear gloves to seed and chop peppers! Place hot peppers, onion, and vinegar

non-aluminum pan and stir in pepper mixture. Bring to boil, and boil for 1
minute. Stir in pectin, let come to rolling boil. Remove from heat, skim
off foam. Ladle into sterilized jars and seal per USDA approved methods.
Turn jars upside down and back again, 5 minutes each way, until jelly is
cool and set - this keeps peppers mixed. Makes about 4 pints.

Title: Halloween Punch
Categories: Beverages, Holidays, Prodigy
Servings: 24
12 oz orange juice concentrate, frozen 12 oz grape juice, white, bottle
2 lt 7-Up 1 pt sherbet, lemon or lime green food coloring Mix together a
12 ounce can of orange juice concentrate, a 12 ounce bottle of white grape
juice, 2 liter bottle of 7-Up, pint of lemon or lime sherbet, and several
drops of>> green food coloring (rum or vodka to taste, optional). If
desired, serve with large, buoyant, and well-washed plastic spiders on the
top!
Here are some other good ideas from the book which you could also use as a
contest or conversation starter. (My idea)
l. Turn sandwiches intoi jack-o'lanters! Cut eyes, nose, and mouth into
the top layer of bread and let the top layer (preferably much darker--or
much lighter--than the bread show through. 2. Make edible spiders for
Halloween treats: a prune for the body, licorice slivers or stick pretzels
for the legs, and two "red-hots" for the eyes,]
3. Turn apples into jack-o'-lanterns! Using a sharp knife or razor,
carefully cut portions of the skin away to make eyes, nose, and mouth.
For a Halloween dessert, make an edible with's hat using a large, flat,
dark cookie for the brim and an ice-cream sugar cone for the crown. Fill
the cone with ice cream even to the rim and center it on top of the cookie.
To enhance the illusion, consider giving the top of the cookie, a thin
layer of chocolate frosting. >>> 4. A plain sour-cream based chip or
vegetable dip can quickly be transformed into a delightfully ghoulish
Halloween dip by adding a fre drops of freen food coloring to the dip
itself, and then scattering small bits of red and yellow bellk pepper
across the top.,
5. Serve fruit salad in a large, hollowed-out, and well-scrubbed
pumpking. Or serve it in a small pumpkins: one for each diner. If desired,
paint a jack-o'-lantern on the pumpkin shell.
