MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
Title: Easter Paska Categories: Breads, Ethnic Yield: 4 Servings
MMMMM------------------------BASIC DOUGH----------------------------- 2 pkg yeast 1/4 lb butter 1 qt milk 1/4 lb vegetable shortening 1 cup sugar 3 1/2 lb flour(1 cup for flouring boar 1 1/2 Tbsp salt 1 cup white raisins 4 ea eggs
Dissolve sugar in milk and heat until lukewarm. Crumble yeast into milk and let stand. Sift flour and salt into large pot or bowl. Put in eggs, melted vegetable shortening and butter. Add milk. Work until all dough is in one bulk, loose from hands and from sides of pot or bowl. Cover with pot cover or a damp cloth and set in a warm place to rise. It should be double in amount in about 2 or 2 1/2 hours. Take three large balls of dough, the size of large grapefruits, form into 10" strips 3" in diameter and braid. Paska is always baked in a round pan, 6" high. The temperature should be 400 deg. for the first 10 min. and then lowered to 375 deg. for the next 40 to 50 minutes. When the Paska is taken from the oven, spread with melted butter. This will make 4 Paskas. from www.recipesource.com Julie Morales

Easter Bunnies On A Stick Easter Coated Pretzels
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
Title: Easter Bunnies On A Stick Categories: Holiday, Candies, Chocolate Yield: 1 Servings
MMMMM---------------------Joni Cloud Ssmw41a-------------------------- 1 lb chocolate coating 1 lb white coating or any color 1 taffy molds 1 sticks 1 taffy covers
You can also buy your molds and sticks, and sleeves of plastic to put over the taffy at a candy supply store. Melt the coatings. I use a electric fry pan with water on low and use small stainless steel or glass bowls to melt different color coatings and of course the chocolate. Just fill the molds, put in stick and roll it to coat it and set it in the coating. I place in the freezer for a minute or two to make them nice and shiny. When they set to room temp. I place in the plastic sleeve. I usually take to our Easter Family Dinner for all the little children from there great Aunt<G> Joni in S.Jersey Enjoy and Good Luck. from www.recipesource.com Julie Morales

Title: Easter Coated Pretzels Categories: Holiday, Candies, Kids, Chocolate Yield: 1 Servings
MMMMM---------------------Joni Cloud Ssmw41a-------------------------- 2 lb White or colored coating -or chocolate 1 pkg Small pretzels
I like to use up the left over colors from making Easter candy and coat pretzel for the very little ones. They love the different colored pretzels, And especially the chocolate ones,<G> so do the grown ups. Again just melt your coatings,chocolate or white, or color the white. Melt in small bowls in pan of water, just warm never hot. Dip the pretzels in and lift with a fork, shaking off excess coating. and lay on wax paper cookie sheet, that will fit in your freezer. You really don`t have to use the freezer. they will set up setting out, but look better and set up faster in refrigerator or freezer. Good Luck and Enjoy from Joni in S.Jersey. Jenilee and Scott loove to coat animal crackers when they were little, I still do .yummmm. from www.recipesource.com Julie Morales
