ICELANDIC SNOWFLAKE BREADS (LAUFABRAUD)
Categories: Breads, Ethnic
Yield: 6 servings

Skill Level 2.5
Ease Level 2
Prep Time 60 minutes, Cooking time 2 minutes

4 c All purpose flour
1 tsp Baking powder
1 tbsp Sugar
1 tb Melted butter
2 c Milk, heated to boiling
Hot fat for frying powdered sugar (optional)

In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder and sugar. Mix in the butter and hot milk until a stiff dough is formed. Turn out onto a lightly oiled surface and knead until smooth and cooled. Divide dough into four parts. Shape each into a ball. Divide each into 4 parts to make 16, then divide each of the resulting balls into 2 parts to total 32. Cover baking sheets with waxed paper and dust the waxed paper lightly with flour. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each part of dough to make a thin round about 8 inches in diameter. Place the rounds on the floured waxed paper. Chill 30 minutes. In a skillet, heat 2 inches of fat to 375 to 400 degrees F. Vegetable shortening or corn or peanut oil may be used but the authentic fat is lard. Fold gthe dough rounds, one at the time, into quarters and with a sharp-tipped knife, make little cuts and cut-outs in the dough. Fry the bread rounds, until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Remove and drain on paper toweling. Store in an airtight container in a cool place or in the freezer until ready to serve.

Chicken Donburi


Skill Level: 1
Ease: 1
Prep Time: 10 min + 20 min cooking

Ethnic Food from: Japan

Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups short-grained rice
2 1/3 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup 4 teaspoons rice wine
1/2 cup 4 teaspoons soy sauce
1 pound fresh boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
2/3 cup sliced mushroom
5 1/3 green onions, thinly sliced
5 1/3 eggs, beaten

Directions:
Cook rice according to package directions; set aside and keep warm.

Meanwhile, combine chicken broth, rice wine and soy sauce in a large skillet; bring to a boil. Add chicken and return to a boil; simmer for 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and green onions and cook for 4 minutes, or until just tender. Add beaten eggs and stir once or twice, cooking an additional 3 minutes, or until set. Serve in a bowl over cooked rice.

Comments:
In my experience it is easy to get this too salty. So I recommend to cut back just slightly on the broth (if you are using bullion) and soy.
