This recipe was received from a friend with the following information..I
haven't tried it yet, but it looks interesting and easy enough.....Rita
" About ten years ago my husband [B.Cobbey Chrisler) returned from the
Sinai
and asked me to make 'manna'. He was serious --being a Bible Scholar --
and
directed me to the Bible for further research. This recipe was developed
using a description from Exodus 16:31. 'And the house of Israel called
the
name thereof Manna; and it was like coriander seed, white, and the taste
was
like wafers made with honey.' It appears in our Bible history cookbook,
"Loaves and Fishes, Foods From Bible Times', co-authored with my good
friend,
Malviina Kinard." Janet V. Chrisler"
MANNA
1/3 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
3 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon crushed coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups flour
Coriander seeds
Cream butter, adding sugar gradually, until light and pale. Add eggs and
beat
thoroughly. Add honey, salt and crushed coriander. Combine baking powder
with
flour and add to the butter mixture. Drop by half teaspoons onto a
buttered
cookie sheet. Garnish each wafer with a coriander seed. Bake at 400
degrees 5
minutes or until done. WATCH CAREFULLY. They should be white and still
soft
when removed from oven. Cool on wire racks. Serve at tea time or with a
pitcher of cold milk for an evening snack.
In other words, Rita, matzos! You make them first, and let me know!
