Whole-grain Flatbreads
by Sofya la Rus, from William Short at Hurstwic
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup ground barley
- 1/4 cup ground buckwheat
- 1/4 cup ground lentils, used red lentils for color
- scant 1/2 cup of buttermilk
- 1/8+ cup of honey
Directions
- Mix the flours together, then add the wet ingredients to get a very sticky but workable dough.
- Make the dough into four 2-3 inch balls, then flatten into 1/2-inch thick cakes.
- Bake on a flat, buttered pan over the fire (at about pancake frying temperature) until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Serve with orange-honey butter.
Notes: the lentil flour gives a nice moistness/tenderness to the dough and leaves very little "lentil" flavor when cooked.

Galangale Custards with Pine Nuts
by Anastasia da Carrara, from
Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 c honey
- 1/4 t salt
- 1/4 t nutmeg
- 1/4 t dried, grated galangale (subst for allspice which is Stasi's usual substitute for the original pepper)
- 2 c half & half (using cream is too rich)
- roasted pine nuts
Directions
- Whisk the 4 eggs, then whisk in the remaining ingredients.
- Pour 1/2 c of mixture into small buttered baking cups, sprinkle pine nuts on top
- Place in a water bath
- Cover loosely with parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes
- Loosen from the sides of the baking cups and turn over onto the serving dish. The pine nuts will then form a bottom "crust".
Note: Doing the water bath in a ceramic pot = pale custard, while putting the water bath in a dutch oven = brownish/carmelized custard.
