General cooking tips

Buying an Oven : If you need to purchase a gas oven or range, look for one with an automatic, electric ignition system. An electric ignition saves gas-because a pilot light is not burning continuously.

Buy Local Food : The most local food of all comes from your own garden. Plant a new garden, enlarge the one you already have, or extend your growing season by using row covers and cloches.

Oven Tips : Cook with the oven door closed. A partially open door wastes energy, costs you money, and warms you instead of the food.

Ingredients And Procedures

1/2 lb Butter

1 1/2 c Sugar

1 ts Vanilla

6 Eggs

6 ts Baking powder

6 c Flour

1 Egg yolk for glaze

1/3 c Sesame seeds

From 'The Way Yia Yia Did It' published by St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Church in San Antonio, named after their annual 'Funstival' Cream butter with sugar in an electric mixer, adding sugar slowly. Beat 20 minutes or until the consistency of whipped cream. Add vanilla, then eggs one at a time. Beat well after each addition. Take from mixer. With a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, fold in 4 cups of flour sifted together with baking powder. Knead in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft non-sticky dough is achieved. If large eggs are used, a little more flour may be needed. Pinch off dough the size of a walnut and roll pencil thin, fold in half side by side and twist. Brush with beaten egg yolk and press sesame seeds on each piece. Place on cookie sheets and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 50 to 60 cookies.
