Hello,

I am looking for an 'Apple Strudel' that is easy to make. Thank you.

Hi all!

I LOVE pink lemonade, especially the Country Time dry mix. I was wondering if
anyone had a recipe on how to make it, preferably a dry mix, but wouldn’t have to
be. Just a note… I’m in Eastern Europe, so we don’t have frozen concentrate to
use in a mix. Thanks!

Hi,

This past weekend I went to an authentic Russian restaurant in Brooklyn, NY,
which is home to a huge amount of Russian immigrants. The food was incredible and
abundant. One of the platters served contained half an avocado. It was stuffed
with the avocado meat, perhaps some onion, and maybe a bit of tomato, and topped
with a shrimp. I'd love the recipe for this delicious dish.

Mary Beth wanted a sugar cookie recipe that is butter based. This has both butter
and Crisco, but it is so good. I have used this recipe for years to make large
pumpkin shaped cookies to hand out at Halloween at the hospital where I used to
work. The last year I worked there we handed out 7 dozen of the pumpkin shaped
cookies.

Sugar Cookies

1/2 c. Crisco
1/2 c. butter
2 c. sugar
3 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1 c. sour cream
5 1/2 c. flour
1 t. soda
1/2 t. salt

Beat: sugar, Crisco and butter. Add eggs and beat. Add 1 c. sour cream, 1 t.
vanilla, then mix in flour, soda and salt. Roll out an cut into shapes. Bake at
350° for 10 minutes or until very light brown at edge.

LOIS KAUFFMAN'S SUGAR COOKIES

1 cup confectioners sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup cooking oil
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
5 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

Cream sugars, butter and oil. Add eggs and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients.
Add to creamed mixture. Chill for one hour. Roll out, cut, place on cookie
sheet. Bake at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned around the
edges. Alternatively, you can do it the easy way: Pinch off marble-sized balls
of dough. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten with bottom of glass which
has been dipped in sugar. Bake at 350 for 10 - 12 minutes. Makes about 100 - 3-
inch cookies.

Mary Beth asked for a sugar cookie recipe. I make these like Spritz, but they
are meant to be rolled and cut out with cookie cutters. They are addictive.

My Favorite Sugar Cookies

1 1/2 cups powered sugar
1 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (not self-rising)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
Desired food coloring

Heat oven to 375. Mix powdered sugar, butter, egg, vanilla and almond extract.
Mix in flour, baking soda and cream of tartar. Add food coloring if desired.
Place cookie dough into cookie press (this is my shortcut) and press cookies onto
lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake until edges are light brown, 7-8 minutes.

Dough may also be refrigerated for two hours, then rolled out and cut into
shapes, and decorated as desired. Baking is the same.

For Terri, use any bread recipe you enjoy on the manual cycle. Form bread around
a glass or metal bowl the size of the bowl you want, let rise. Bake in the oven
at a standard heat until done.
