The Key West citizen., 1952-12-22

Walking around IN the rain Sat
urday tying up all the loose
Christmas ends didn't seem as
much like the Holiday season as
when the sky is blue and smiling.
But the spirit is the same, and
pity the poor clerks who are weep
ing and beating their chests.
One thing / noticed though
everyone seemed in fine humor
In spite of crying skies and soupy
pavements. So. L went shop hop
ping too.

Me too, and with it delicious
recipe for Christmas rolls for
famished family after ali the gifts
are unwrapped. Heat one half cup
milk until film Fuckers the top,
then cool to lukewarm. When luke
warm and not minute sooner,
sprinkle in one package active
dry yeast to soften, or one cake of
the compressed. Melt 6 table
spoons margarine or butter, and
mix with one teaspoon salt and
one third cup sugar in a mixing
bowl. Add yeast milk mixture and
two eggs and beat until well mix
ed. Stir in three and one half cups
sifted all purpose flour and mix
thoroughly and then dump dough
out on a floured board and knead
hard for about 10 minutes or until
dough is smooth and springy. Re-
turn dough to bowl and let rise
in a warm place until double in
size. Meanwhile mix up a fine
filling.
Grind one cup blanched almonds
fine through food chopper, and
melt two tablespoons butter or
margarine. Beat one egg and one
third cup sugar together until
smooth, pour in melted shortening,
add almonds, two tablespoons
cream, one half cup raisins, and
mix well. Then heat six table
spoons apricot jam.
Roll the dough on a floured
board into rectangle. spread sur
face with jam and almond filling.
Cut dough into q crosSwise strips
and then roll up tightly. Place

tween each roll. Brush tops with
egg yolk mixed with two table
