Halloween: Bread of the Dead
from Kitchen Grimoire Volume 5 by Celeste Rayne Heldstab
Serve with milk or hot chocolate, and offer some to your departed
ancestors, so they may breathe in its essence and be nourished, before you
gobble it up yourself!
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 t. salt
1 egg
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
10 drops anise extract
Mix all of the above until smooth. Heat the oven to 400 degrees and
grease a cookie sheet. With clean hands, mold the dough into a round shape
with a knob on the top (which will be a skull) or into smaller round
shapes, animals, faces or angels. Place dough on cookie sheet.
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 T. flour
1 t. ground cinnamon
1 T. melted butter
Mix together brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and melted butter for the
topping. Sprinkle topping on dough and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. When
cool, decorate the skull shaped knobs, animals or faces with icing sugar
to make eyes, nose and mouth.
