Happy All Soul’s Day, a.k.a Commemoration of All the Faithful
Departed, and the Day of the Dead, a day of prayer and remembrance for the
faithful departed. In many
Christian traditions a soul
cake is made for All Soul's Day to commemorate the dead. They can best be described as a cross between a
scone and a cookie (biscuit). They are not overly sweet, so I have been enjoying
one with coffee every morning.
Soul Cakes
7 T. butter
½ c. sugar
2 egg yolks
1-1/2 c. + 1 T. flour
1 pinch turmeric
1 t. allspice
½ t. mixed spice
2-3 T. whole milk
¼ c. raisins
Preheat oven to 360° F. Spray a large cookie sheet PAM, or cover with a silpat; set aside.
Cream together butter and sugar in the work bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in egg yolks one at a time. With the mixer on low, beat in the flour, spices, and milk enough to form a dough that holds together. Stir in raisins.
Turn dough out onto a floured surface and roll to nearly ½-inch thick. Cut out with a 2-inch biscuit cutter and place on prepared baking sheet. With the back of a knife, press a cross a cross in the top of each.
Back for 20 to 22 minutes until golden and firm. These keep for
three days.
