I made scones today after watching Martha Stewart on PBS, and since I had seen her demonstration, I simply made them the way she did, which is very similar to Ann's. One difference is that she used dried currants soaked in Grand Marnier, and that intrigued me. I used dried cranberries instead and soaked them in half Cointreau and half Triple Sec because Triple Sec has a more intense orange flavor. MS added orange zest to hers, but my oranges were not ripe, and so I omitted that ingredient. I also cut the amount of salt in half, and I think I could have used even less. Next time I will try Ann's recipe, but I had a bit of trouble finding it here, since GW searches are not that helpful. Eventually I did a Google search to find Ann's recipe, but by then I had already made the other recipe. MS uses part cake flour, and I had cake flour that I wanted to use up, which is another reason I went with her recipe. I love scones, and so it's good to have more than one recipe. I did think that the liqueur soaked cranberries was a good variation, and I don't think they needed orange zest. I like Ann's method of freezing the butter and then grating it, which is easier than the MS method of combining butter and half the flour in the food processor - much more to clean that way.

shambo- Maybe this recipe from "Natural Meals In Minutes" by Rita Bingham will work for you, or give you an idea for changes you can make to the original recipe. -Grainlady WHEAT AND SESAME TORTILLAS 2 c. whole wheat flour 3 T. dry milk powder 1/3 c. sesame seeds 2 T. butter or applesauce 1/2 t. salt 2 T. yogurt 1/2 c. lukewarm water Combine dry ingredients. Use hand or electric beaters to cut in butter or applesauce until mixture resembles fine crumbs. [Grainlady note: I love this hint. Since the first time I made these, I now use my electric hand-held beater to cut fat into dry ingredients - it's so easy and so fast compared to cutting fat in with a pastry blender.] Slowly pour in water and yogurt, mixing lightly with a fork. On a floured board, knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Shape into a ball, cover and let stand for 10-minutes. Divide and shape dough into 8 balls. Cover, removing one ball at a time and roll paper-thin on floured board. Place on heavy, hot, ungreased skillet, over medium-high heat. Blisters should appear right away. Brown on one side and turn. Cook about 30 seconds. Makes eight 9-inch tortillas. [I like to use this recipe for wraps - LOVE the addition of sesame seeds - yum!!!] -------------------------------------- The link below has another favorite recipe and it has variations using cornmeal and all-purpose flour or whole wheat and all-purpose flour, and 2 T. shortening. It's especially easy to mix in a zip-lock storage bag and a great project with children. -Grainlady Here is a link that might be useful: Native American Tortillas In a Bag

They will be fine in the fridge until morning. I freeze them unbaked too. David

Here it is...it's so nice that Ann shares. Cinnamon Rolls (Buns) ===================== From Joy of Baking Dough: 4-1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose " flour 1 Package active dry yeast 1 Cup milk 1/3 Cup "" butter 1/3 Cup sugar 1/2 Teaspoon salt "3 eggs Filling: 3/4 Cup packed brown"sugar 1/4 Cup all-purpose " flour 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon 1/2 Cup" butter 1/2 Cup light raisins (optional) 1 Tablespoon half-and-half 1 recipe Powdered Sugar Glaze Note: I prefer a Cream Cheese icing. 1/4 cup butter 1 cup cream cheese Cream together and add enough icing/powder sugar to make a creamy icing. Powdered Sugar Glaze: In a bowl stir together 1 1/4 cups sifted powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon light corn syrup, 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and enough halfand- half (1 to 2 tablespoons) to make the glaze thin enough to drizzle over cinnamon rolls. . In a large mixing bowl combine 2 1/4 cups of the flour and the yeast. In a small saucepan heat the milk, the 1/3 cup butter, 1/3 cup sugar, and salt just till warm (120 degrees to 130 degrees)and butter is almost melted, stirring constantly. Add to flour mixture. Add eggs. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 cups flour as you can. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth and elastic (3 to 5 minutes). Shape into a ball. Place in a greased bowl, turning once. Cover; let rise in a warm place till double (about 1 - 1 1/2 hours). For filling, combine brown sugar, the 1/4 cup flour, and cinnamon. Cut in remaining butter with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Set aside. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll the dough into a 12 inch square. Sprinkle filling over dough square; top with raisins (if desired). Roll up jelly-roll style; pinch edges to seal. Slice roll into eight 1 1/2 inch pieces. Arrange dough pieces, cut side up, in a greased 12 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan. Cover dough loosely with clear plastic wrap, leaving room for rolls to rise. Refrigerate dough for 2 to 24 hours. Uncover and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. (If you are making the cinnamon rolls immediately, dont chill dough. Instead, cover loosely, let dough rise in a warm place till nearly double, about 45 minutes.) Break any surface bubbles with a greased toothpick. Brush dough with a half-and-half. Bake in a 375 degree oven to 25 to 30 minutes or till light brown. If necessary to prevent overbrowning., cover rolls loosely with foil the last 5 to 10 minutes of baking. Remove rolls from oven. Brush again with half-and-half. Cool 5 minutes. Invert onto a baking rack and invert again onto a plate. Can drizzle with Powdered Sugar Glaze. Serve warm. Makes 8 rolls. Nancy
