NFRC: Watched "Chasing Austen" last night.... what a great movie!

Oh, yes. It's quite real. People say it's pretty good.

Pride and Prejudice is in the public domain, so folks can do whatever they want with the text. I think I really need to read this book. A trip to the bookstore may be in order.

 
Pat, here is a wonderful recipe for Sally Lunn. I've been making it for years, and

it never fails. An easy recipe - even for the yeast bread challenged, and it is a delicious bread. It looks beautiful when unmolded from the bundt pan. I like to make it for brunch. It's so quick and easy that you can make it the morning of the brunch, and take it from the oven and serve hot fresh bread.

Sally Lunn

Servings: 8
Preparation Time: 2 hours

1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup water
3 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
2 teaspoons salt
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup honey
2 packages dry yeast
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Heat the milk in a saucepan, add the butter and water. Cool to lukewarm. Pour the mixture into a bowl and add the flour, salt, beaten eggs, honey, dry yeast and flavorings. Beat with a mixer for 3 minutes (or mix with floured hands or a wooden spoon until all ingredients are well blended.)
Cover and place in a warm spot to rise for about 1 hour.
Mix down and put in a greased 9" or 10" tube pan. Bake at 300 degrees for 50 minutes.

Serving ideas: Bakes beatifully in a Bundt pan.

That's interesting! I've only made the Sally Lunn and never knew the background. Thanks.
