I thought maybe we could share some Ostara recipes. They can be from a site, from a book, or your own personal favourite
Honey Cakes
Little fried cakes, dipped in honey and nutmeg.
INGREDIENTS:
* 1/2 cup Riesling wine
* 1 egg
* 2/3 cup flour
* 1 cup honey
* 2 tbs sugar
* 1/8 tsp cinnamon
* 1/8 tsp nutmeg
* Dash of salt
PREPARATION:
Beat the egg together with the wine. In another mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, sugar and salt. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture. Stir until blended through. Let sit for 30 minutes.
In another small bowl, mix the honey and nutmeg. In a skillet, heat up about a 1/2 inch of oil. Drop a tablespoon of batter into the oil and fry until golden brown. Drain off the oil, and dip into the honey mixture.
Hot Cross Buns
These buns are lightly sweet and will go well with any other Ostara dishes you make.
INGREDIENTS:
* 3 cups flour
* 1 cup evaporated milk
* 3/4 cup sugar
* 1 egg, beaten
* 1 oz of dry yeast
* 1/4 cup melted butter
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 1 tsp cinnamon
* 1/8 tsp allspice
PREPARATION:
Mix all the ingredients except for the yeast and egg. In another bowl, dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup hot water. Add yeast and beaten egg to the flour mixture. Cover with a cloth and let the dough rise until double in size (about an hour).
Preheat your oven to 400F. Shape the dough into balls around 3-inches across and place in the oven on a lightly greased sheet. After 5 minutes, bring them out and cut a light cross in the tops of each bun. Put back in the oven and bake buns for another 15-20 minutes.
Ostara Stuffed Eggs
Here is an easy way to add some eggs to your Ostara feast
INGREDIENTS:
* 8 hard boiled eggs
* 2 cups mayonnaise
* 1/2 cup vinegar
* 1/8 cup sugar
* fresh thyme or basil
PREPARATION:
Remove the shells from the eggs and slice them lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and save them in a bowl. Add the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar. Whip together until nice and smooth. Use a pastry bag or a small spoon to add a big dollop of yolk mixture back onto the egg whites.
Sprinkle with herbs and serve.
