Instructions

  1. 1 Fill a large pot with at least 3 inches of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce temperature to low. Look for the water to be ready when you see bubbles at the bottom of the pot; there should be no bubbles breaking the surface of the water.
  2. 2 Crack egg into a small mesh sieve and allow any loose egg whites to drain. Transfer egg to a small bowl or ramekin.
  3. 3 When water has reached the right temperature, stir in vinegar. Using a spoon, swirl water in the center of the pot into a vortex or whirlpool and carefully drop egg into the center. Cook until egg white is set, but yolk is still soft and runny, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcook.
  4. 4 Use a slotted spoon to transfer poached egg to a paper towel to remove excess water.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather the ingredients.
  2. 2 Whisk eggs, water, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Whisk until mixture is very liquid and whites are completely blended in, 1 or 2 minutes.
  3. 3 Heat 1 ½ tablespoons butter in a 9- or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. As soon as butter melts and before it starts to sizzle, pour in whisked eggs. Stir in a circular pattern with a heat-proof spatula, lifting and scrambling eggs, shaking the pan to keep leveling out the mixture, and scraping down the sides. Continue stirring until shaking the pan no longer levels the eggs.
  4. 4 Reduce heat to low. Using the spatula, smooth the surface to move runny eggs to less runny spots, working toward an even thickness. As soon as the surface is wet but not runny, remove from heat.
  5. 5 Starting at the handle side of the pan, use the spatula to begin rolling omelette into a cylinder shape, about 3 rolls until omelette is about 2 inches from opposite side of the pan. Use the spatula to fold the last flap of egg over the top of the cylinder leaving the seam-side up. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter to the pan. Gently push the butter as it melts under the omelette.
  6. 6 Slide omelette to edge of the pan. Flip onto a plate with the seam-side down. Even out the shape, if necessary. You can tuck in the ends, if you like. Brush surface with a bit more butter. Dust with cayenne pepper.
  7. 7 Enjoy!

  1. 1 In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in milk, salt, sugar, 1 egg, 1 cup flour and melted butter. Beat to make a smooth batter; set aside.
  2. 2 In a large bowl, cut the one cup firm butter into remaining four cups flour until butter particles are the size of dried kidney beans. Pour the yeast batter over this and carefully turn the mixture over with a spatula to blend, just until all flour is moistened. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours or up to four days.
  3. 3 Turn dough out onto a floured surface; press into compact balls and knead about 6 turns to release air bubbles. Divide dough into four equal parts. Shape one at a time. Refrigerate the remaining dough.
  4. 4 Roll one part of the dough on a floured board into a circle 17 inches in diameter. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the circle into eight equal pie-shaped wedges. Roll the wedges loosely toward the point. Shape each roll into a crescent and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Allow 1 1/2 inches space between each roll.
  5. 5 Cover and let rise at room temperature until almost doubled in size. Approximately 2 hours. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  3. 3 Coat a crêpe pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat with about 1 teaspoon of the melted butter. Ladle about 1/4 cup batter into the pan, swirling the pan to thinly coat the entire bottom. Cook until small brown spots appear on the bottom of the crêpe, about 2 minutes.
  4. 4 Loosen crêpe carefully from the pan using a spatula and gently flip to brown the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Slide crêpe onto a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, buttering the pan as needed and stacking crêpes between pieces of parchment or waxed paper.
  5. 5 Assemble crêpes one at a time in the still-warm pan; spread mustard over one half, top with 1 slice of ham, along with some of the sautéed onion and Gruyère cheese. Fold the crêpe over the filling, pressing gently, and heat briefly just until the cheese begins to melt. Fold in half again so each finished crêpe is about one-quarter the size of the original.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line cups with paper muffin liners.
  2. 2 In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup sugar and shortening. Beat in egg. Stir flour mixture into shortening mixture alternately with milk. Beat well. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
  3. 3 Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. While muffins are baking, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  4. 4 Remove muffins from oven and muffin pan. Immediately, dip the tops of the muffins into the melted margarine, then into the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Repeat with each muffin, until all muffin tops are covered. Serve warm.
