Serves: 16 Print this RecipeIris Karl, Waynesboro, Virginia 3 to 3-1/2 cups bread flour (no substitutes), divided 1/4 cup sugar 1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup water 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 1 egg, lightly beaten 16 slivered almonds 32 currants HONEY BUTTER: 1/4 cup butter (no substitutes), softened 2 tablespoons honey nutritional information for this recipe
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, melt butter. Add milk and water; heat to 120°-125°. Add to flour mixture and mix well. Stir in extract and egg; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down; divide into 16 pieces. To shape birds, roll each piece into a 10-in. rope; tie into a knot. Cut one end a few times with a scissors to form tail feathers. Tuck in the other end of the knot to form head. Place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350° for 17-20 minutes or until golden brown. Combine honey butter ingredients; brush over the hot rolls. Return to the oven for 3 minutes. With a toothpick, make small holes for the beak and eyes. Insert a slivered almond for the beak and currants for eyes. Serve with remaining honey butter if desired. © Copyright Reiman Publications, 1993-1997 Sign up for our free monthly newsletter to recieve free recipes, cooking tips and much much more!
