puff pastry — frozen
pastry cream
2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
pinch salt
vanilla bean — split
5 egg yolk
1/3 cup cornstarch
Glaze

Roll out little circles of pastry leaving the two edges slightly thicker than
the sides. Sprinkle with sugar.
Cook the pastry cream ingredients until it boils and is thick. Cool.
Place a generous tablespoon or so of cream on the pastry dough and two apricot
halves so it looks like two egg yolks.
Bake in 350F oven for 35 minutes.
Brush pastry and apricots with a nice sweet apricot glaze. The baking takes the
sweetness out of the fresh apricots so you need this final step.

Title: A Variation on the Theme of Pashka
Categories: Desserts
Yield: 16 servings

4 8 oz. pkgs cream cheese
1 c (2 sticks) butter
3 Egg yolks
2 c Sifted powdered sugar
2 ts Vanilla extract
1 c Toasted, slivered almonds
2 pt (or 3) fresh or frozen
Strawberries

Let cream cheese, butter and egg yolks stand at room temperature at
least 2 hours. Beat cheese in a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon or
blend at low speed in electric mixer. Add butter and continue
beating. When well blended, add sugar, then egg yolks, one at a
time. Add vanilla and fold in almonds.

Wash and dry the inside of a Pashka mold or a new 2 quart clay or
plastic flowerpot with drain holes in the bottom. Line the pot with
a double thickness of cheesecloth wrung out in cold water. Spoon
cheese mixture into the pot to the brim. Cover with plastic wrap and
refrigerate several hours or overnight on a plate.

To unmold, trim around and discard top of the cheesecloth. Invert a
dessert plate over the opening of the flowerpot and quickly turn the
whole thing upside down. Place on table and gently lift off pot,
tugging at the cheesecloth lining if necessary. When the pot is
clear, gently remove the cheesecloth.

Garnish the base and top of the Pashka with whole strawberries and
strawberry halves. Serve with additional crushed, sweetened
strawberries as a sauce. You may add some brandy or liqueur to the
sauce if you wish.

Bread Machine Pumpkin Spice Bagels

Electric Bread

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1/2 cup water — lukewarm
2 tablespoons water — lukewarm
3 cups white bread flour
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/3 tablespoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon allspice
3 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

1. Insert ingredients in bread machine according to manufacturer’s instruction
s. Remove the dough from the machine after the first knead – approximately 20
to 30 minutes.

2. Place dough on a floured surface. Divide into 8 parts. Form balls, gently
press thumb through center of ball and slowly stretch into bagel shape.

3. While bagels rise, bring three quarts of water and one tablespoon of sugar
to a rapid boil in a large saucepan. Drop test dough (see hints below).

4. Using a slotted spoon, drop 2-3 bagels into rapidly boiling water. Boil on
each side for 1/2 minutes. Remove and cool on rack 1 minute, brush with egg
and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, if desired.

5. Bake at 400 on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal, until golden – appro
ximately 15 minutes.

** Bagel Success Hints

** When forming the bagels, set aside two 1/4″ balls of dough. When the bagels
have doubled in size, drop the test dough into boiling water. The dough shoul
d pop to the top right away. When this happens, it is time to boil the bagels.

** A quick spray of non-stick vegetable coating on the top of the bagel may be
substituted for the egg wash.

** To make bagel sticks, cut bagel before rising and lay out in a straight line
. Roll sticks in a combination of sesame and poppy seeds with a pinch of garl
ic powder. Let sticks rise, boil, and bake as described in the above direction
s.

** To make bagel chips, slice leftover bagels horizontally into thin slices. B
ruish with butter or margarine on one side. Lay (butter side up) on an ungreas
ed cookie sheet and bake at 325 for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
