Last night I made some Feather Rolls (an old recipe), but I modified the recipe slightly to try to
1) save a few calories and
2) use up some weird and wonderful flours I have around.
Original Recipe:
Nan's Feather Rolls
1 tablespoon dried yeast
1 cup / 8 fl oz warm water
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 large egg
2 cups white flour (about 250g)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Add yeast and sugar to warm water. Leave to stand until yeast is foaming (10 mins or so).
Add the butter, egg, salt and flour to the mix. Beat vigorously with a rotary or electric mixer for 5 minutes. You can beat by hand, but you need really good upper arm strength and about 10 mins of it.
Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 45 mins. Beat down and divide among 8 - 12 muffin cups (American muffin cups, not those Yorkshire pudding things). Each cup should be about 1/2 full. How many depends on how big your muffin cups are!
Leave to rise again until the mixture has filled the cups. Bake in a hot oven 400 degrees/ Gas Mark 6 for about 15-20 minutes.
Serving Suggestion: Try not to eat them all at once!
My Revised Version
1 tablespoon dried yeast
1 cup / 8 fl oz warm water
1 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 duck egg
100g Grade 00 white flour
100g brown rice flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Add yeast and sugar to warm water. Leave to stand until yeast is foaming (10 mins or so).
Add the oil, egg, salt and flour to the mix. Beat vigorously with a rotary or electric mixer for 5 minutes. You can beat by hand, but you need really good upper arm strength and about 10 mins of it.
Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 45 mins. Beat down and divide among 12 muffin cups. Each cup should be about 1/2 full.
Leave to rise again until the mixture has filled the cups. Bake in a hot oven 400 degrees/ Gas Mark 6 for about 15-20 minutes.
Makes 12 rolls.

They came out OK, but the texture is different than usual (less flour and different kinds of flour).
