FEATHER BED ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Grease a couple of 12-count muffin tins.
• Combine yeast and water in a large mixing bowl and let it sit a few minutes to dissolve.
• Add sugar, salt and egg.
• Add flour gradually and beat well.
• Add butter.
• Fill greased muffin tins half full.
• Let rise in a warm place uncovered until level with the top of the pans (although I admit to having loosely covered mine sometimes).

• The last time I made these I think I got 18 roll/muffins.
• Your yield will, of course, vary depending on how much batter you put in each section of the muffin pan.

FEATHER BED EGGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Butter 6 small ramekins. Butter one side of bread, and place a single slice with buttered side up in each ramekin. Generously pepper each slice of bread and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of cheese. Beat milk with eggs and add oregano to taste. Pour over the cheese and bread in the ramekins. Cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning uncover and place in a cold oven. Set to 350 degrees and bake for 30-40 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Remove from baking disk and serve immediately. Variations: instead of individual ramekins, arrange bread in a buttered 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Add diced ham or sausage, onion, green pepper, or mushrooms to taste. Place these ingredients on top of bread, but under cheese, prior to covering with egg mixture.

Steps:

• Boil the potato until tender. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup of the cooking water. Mash the potato and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the hot potato cooking water, sugar, butter, and salt. Let stand until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm (105 degrees to 115 degrees F).
• Stir in the yeast and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Beat in the egg and potato by hand.
• Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the flour as you can. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 3 to 5 minutes, adding enough flour to make a moderately soft dough.
• Place in an oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides with oil.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
• Punch the dough down.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a 3-inch round cutter.
• Place the rounds 1/4 inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 30 to 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
