                    pop tarts

                    Pop Tarts

                    1/2 cup granulated sugar
                    1/2 cup vegetable shortening
                    2 eggs
                    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
                    2 teaspoons baking powder

                    Filling
                    Any flavor jam, preserves, or fruit butter
                    1 egg white beaten with 1 tablespoon milk
                    Sugar for sprinkling on top

                    Cream together sugar and Crisco, beating until light. Beat in eggs until creamy, then stir in flour and baking powder to make soft dough. Divide dough evenly into 16 parts. Roll each part into a flattened ball and set aside on a plate. Wrap plate in plastic wrap and refrigerate two hours. Grease cookie sheet and set aside.

                    Roll 1 ball dough into a rectangle about 1/16-inch thick. Spread 1 heaping teaspoon of filling evenly over dough leaving a generous margin. Roll out another ball into similar shape and lay it neatly over the first.

                    Using sharp knife, trim the tart to approximately 3 1/2 x 5 inches and crimp edge with fingertips or tines of fork. Place tart on cookie sheet and prick top with fork.

                    Optional: Lightly beat egg white with milk. Brush tops of tarts and sprinkle with sugar, if desired.

                    Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes, just until edges are browned. Prick again during first 10 minutes of baking to help keep them flat. Cool, wrap and store at room temperature or refrigerator. Tarts may also be iced.

                          A bottle about the size of a Twinkie
                          Twelve 12 x 14 inch pieces of aluminum foil
                          Pastry bag
                          Toothpick or bamboo skewer

                          Cake
                          4 egg whites
                          1 (16 ounce) box golden pound cake mix
                          2/3 cup water
                          Nonstick spray

                          Filling
                          2 teaspoons very hot water
                          1/4 teaspoon salt
                          2 cups Marshmallow Creme?
                          1/2 cup shortening
                          1/3 cup powdered sugar
                          1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

                          Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

                          Create the cake mold by folding each piece of foil in half twice and wrapping it around the bottle leaving the top open. Lightly spray the inside of each mold with Pam or Baker?s Joy or equivalent, arrange on cookie sheet.

                          In medium bowl, beat egg whites till stiff but not dry. Set aside.

                          In large bowl, combine cake mix and water and beat 2 minutes, scraping sides and bottom of bowl to thoroughly mix. Gently fold in egg whites until combined with cake mix. Pour about 3/4 inch of batter into each mold.

                          Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until cakes test done with clean toothpick inserted in center. Cool completely and remove cakes from mold.

                          To make filling, mix hot water and salt in coffee cup until dissolved. Set aside and cool completely.

                          In medium bowl cream together shortening, powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add Marshmallow Creme and beat on high speed until fluffy. Add cooled salt water and beat another minute.

                          Using a bamboo skewer or wooden pick, poke a hole all the way through the cake, moving it around to hollow out a small area all the way through the cake for the filling. Using a filling tip on a cookie press or a cake decorator, fill each cake with filling. Fill from both ends if necessary.

                          Of men who have a sense of honor, more come through alive than are slain, but from those who flee comes neither glory nor any help. — Homer

                                1/3 cup butter or margarine, cut into pieces
                                2 eggs
                                1 cup imported chopped or snipped pitted dates

                                In large bowl combine 2 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, cinnamon, salt, allspice and nutmeg. Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (120 to 130 degrees F).

                                Add 2 eggs and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 45 to 60 minutes. (With RapidRise Yeast, cover kneaded dough. Let rest on floured surface 10 minutes. Proceed with recipe.)

                                Yields: 48 servings

                                Cookie Dough
                                1 (18 ounce) box devils food cake mix
                                2 eggs
                                2 tablespoons water
                                2 tablespoons vegetable oil
                                1/2 cup bitter cocoa powder

                                Cookie Filling
                                1 envelope unflavored gelatine
                                1/4 cup cold water
                                1 cup Crisco
                                1 teaspoon vanilla extract
                                1 pound plus 1 cup confectioners sugar

                                Cookie Dough: Blend all ingredients together until the dough can be shaped into a smooth ball. Let it stand 20 minutes, loosely covered.

                                Form dough into marble-size balls. Place 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Flatten each with smooth bottom of a drinking glass greased once and dipped into Nestles Quick Powder (or use sweetened chocolate drink powder). Bake at 400 degrees F for 8 minutes. Remove cookies at once from baking sheet, to paper toweling and immediately flatten each cookie with back of pancake turner. Let cool 20 minutes.

                                Fill with Cookie Filling mixture.

                                Cookie Filling: Soften gelatine in cold water. Place in heatproof cup in pan of hot water till gelatine is transparent.

                                Meanwhile beat Crisco until fluffy, adding vanilla extract and sugar a little at a time. Beat in gelatine mixture when it is completely cooled, but not yet "set" or firm.

                                When cooled, shape filling into 1-inch balls. Place between the two bottom sides of the cooled cookies, pressing gently until filling has spread to edge of cookies and rounded out like the originals.
