Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Easter Baking Ideas
Easter baking is some of the most delightful baking of the year. With the Easter message of reflection and renewal, after the sombre days of the feast have passed a joyful celebration with merry colours and appropriate dishes confirms that life can begin again. Baking itself is more of a pleasure as well at this time of year as kitchens are becoming cooler after the summer’s heat.
Leading up to the celebration day, a traditional Easter baked good served for Good Friday breakfasts, and one with a very long history, is the hot, crossed bun. In London in 1592, the Clerk of the Markets decreed that bakers were allowed to sell such spiced breads only at burials, the Friday before Easter, or at Christmas.
Hot Crossed Easter Buns
These round, soft, yeast buns are flavoured usually with cinnamon or mixed spices, and have sultanas kneaded into the dough before baking. There are many variations to the recipes with some adding currants, citrus peel, and other dried fruits, such as apricots, as well.
As the name suggests, the top of the bun has a simple decoration of a cross. Sometimes the cross was incised with a knife before baking; often it was made by adding strips of pastry. In modern times, it is likely that the cross shape is piped on with icing after the buns have cooled slightly.
If baking Easter buns is a bit out of scope for you, then another great Easter baking idea is biscuits, also a wonderful tradition.
Easter Egg Biscuits
Easter biscuits can be quite elaborate, if the fancy strikes you. For something simple, an easy idea for including children in the preparations is to start with a plain arrowroot biscuit.
Give each child a blunt butter knife and dishes with different coloured icing, as well as a bowl containing lollies, jelly beans, shredded coconut or sprinkles. They can use the lollies and sprinkles to decorate the biscuits they have spread with the icing mixture so it looks like an Easter egg.
Icing can also be spooned into a small snap-lock bag. Snip off a tiny corner of the bag and the children can use it to pipe stripes and other designs onto their biscuits.
Home-baking your Easter biscuits will add more options to your decorating as you can cut the homemade, rolled dough into the shape of bunnies, chicks and crosses.
Baking an Easter Cake
A little bit outside of the box for Easter baking, but always a favourite, is an Easter carrot cake. Carrot cakes can be very rich and a small slice will make a full serving. The recipe below is an adaption of this favourite in a loaf form that makes the dessert easier to transport or to give as a gift.
Easter Carrot Cake
Ingredients:
2 carrots (about 300g)
1 1/2 cups (225g) self-raising flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp ground mixed spices
1/2 cup (80g) brown sugar
1/2 cup (125ml) oil
1/2 cup (125ml) golden syrup
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
Optional: chopped walnuts, up to 1/2 cup, or sultans, up to 2/3 cup
Method:
Preheat oven to 170°C. Lightly oil a loaf pan and cover the bottom with parchment paper. Wash and grate two carrots, set aside. Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda and mixed spices into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, golden syrup, oil and vanilla. Carefully stir the oil mixture into the dry ingredients. Then mix in the carrots being careful not to over stir. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for approximately 75 minutes. Cool the Easter cake completely before icing.
Cream Cheese Icing
Icing Ingredients:
250g spreadable cream cheese
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 cup pure icing sugar
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
Method:
Beat the first three ingredients together until smooth. Add the cream of tartar and beat for an additional minute. When the cake loaf is cool, spread with icing.
You can then decorate the cake with Easter themed items such as purple and white flowers (sugared violets can be nice), sprigs of rosemary, 11 small chocolate Easter eggs around the outside (to represent Jesus’s disciples minus Judas) and a larger egg in the centre.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – 5 Great Ideas For Your Hard-Boiled Easter Eggs
After Easter and after all that fun egg-hunting, you might find yourself a handful of those dyed boiled eggs without having any idea on what to do with them next. Well, it’s such a waste of good hard boiled eggs, so why not try a few of these tricks so that you can enjoy eating some of them. Of course, this does not limit you to those dyed Easter eggs since with such great ideas, you can always boil some eggs for you to use in these activities.
1. Deviled Eggs – When you hear of the word “deviled” in food, it specifically means something hot and spicy to the taste. Well, in many cases, you’re spot on since adding cayenne pepper, black pepper or even some horseradish in your yolk mixture will certainly give a smoking sensation to your deviled eggs. However, if you wanted to, deviled eggs can have a hint of sweet taste too. For this trick to work, you’ll have to add in some sweet gherkins or relish into the mix.
Deviled eggs are great when it comes to picnics or barbeque. With a taste that ranges from sweet to spicy, it’s definitely one thing that your whole family will love dining into.
2. Egg Salad – This one’s my favorite and it’s so easy to do. What I would like most about egg salad is to make it into a sandwich with some lightly toasted bread. Of course, you can always make traditional salad out of those hard boiled Easter eggs. Nestle the ready made eggs on top of a bed of lettuce leaves and add in a bit of chives and paprika on top. Egg salads can be made in unlimited assortment. Just grab a bowl with your favorite ingredients and add in your leftover hard boiled Easter eggs.
3. Plain Hard Boiled Eggs – Before anything else, did you know that most of the time, people are boiling eggs the wrong way? Well, you won’t mind it if you’re just making some for the Easter egg hunt. But if you’re making hard boiled eggs for dining with your family, it pays to know the right way in preparing hard boiled eggs.
Boiling eggs on top of the stove makes them rubbery. Instead, you should boil the water first, take the pot off the heat and put in the eggs into the boiled water for the length of time depending on how you want your eggs prepared. You’ll need 1-4 minutes for soft boiled eggs and about 15-17 minutes for hard boiled ones. One trick I do is to use older eggs and pierce them a little bit with a needle prior cooking. This makes the eggs easier to peel than normal ones. Once finished, simply sprinkle with a bit of pepper and salt and enjoy eating those should-be Easter eggs.
4. Scotch Eggs – I didn’t knew about this Easter food until I read it and Google’d a bit about how it’s prepared. What I know for a fact is that while the dish is called “scotch”, it’s definitely not of Scottish origin. Instead, it was made by one of the favorite food shops of the British Royal Family in London, Fortnum & Mason.
Anyway, while I admit I’m no expert, the basic idea is to roll your boiled Easter eggs in flour then wrap the whole egg in ground sausage meat. Dip the mixture in beaten eggs and roll the whole thing in some bread crumbs. Afterwards, you have to deep fry it until the sausage goes golden brown. Well, there are many other variants of the recipe, but that’s where the search engines take their play in this little dish.
5. Pickled Eggs – This is one of the least favorite Easter food to make from hard boiled eggs but still, it can be a great activity for the whole family to do. In making pickled eggs, you can always try gathering the kids around while making experiments on various pickling recipes. While searching, these are just some of the names of pickled eggs I can find: beet juice eggs, garlic pickled eggs, dark and spicy eggs, and pineapple pickled eggs.
Now, I have to leave you off on that one but the basic idea is that there are much you can do with your extra hard boiled Easter eggs. Easter foods basing on hard boiled eggs can be fun to make too after the hunt, and with these ideas, I hope you can make dishes your whole family will enjoy.

Virtually no party or celebration is complete without a jug of cool, fruity sangria, and its contents can be varied to take account of whichever fruits are in season at the time. There are many different sangria recipes which have been endlessly copied and adapted, but a super fruit-packed sangria recipe always scores because it can be put together very quickly from fresh ingredients, and accompanies any type of food – although it works especially well with spicy dishes.

Easter is a celebration of rebirth both spiritually and physically. It is a spring holiday that welcomes in new growth and flowering. Trees are budding, flowers are slowly blooming, lawns are greening and the days grow longer. The dark and cold of winter give way to a new optimism filled with sun, warmth and cheer. The religious origins of Easter are an integral part of the Christian holiday but do not preclude people of all faiths to celebrate the more secular side of this holiday. There is plenty to enjoy as the bunnies, chicks, children’s baskets filled with candy and family gatherings present another side of Easter. So no matter your beliefs, we can all celebrate the new awakenings that happen each year with the onset of springtime.
I always love Easter dinner. I keep it simple by buying or ordering a honey baked ham. Add some yummy scalloped potatoes, a colorful jello mold filled with fruit and some fresh roasted or sautéed vegetables and my menu is set. I also do Easter as a buffet. Some times we have brunch, other years it is an early dinner depending on everyone’s schedules. No matter how much you try to avoid it, Easter is an all day sugar festival for the kids so it is always best to have your dinner earlier than later. Let them eat something of substance before they fill up on all the Easter candy.
When the kids were smaller, we always enjoyed making Easter favors for everyone. Sometimes we did small plants or flowers, decorated the pot, added the recipient’s name with paint marker, wrapped it in ribbon and added in some dyed and decorated eggs that we had made together. These could be set around the table as placeholders too. Decorating the eggs was an event in itself. There are so many creative egg decorating kits at the stores. So you can dye, paint, stamp, sticker, glue and even draw on eggs! The key is to keep this event age appropriate. It takes all the fun out of the project if they can’t do it themselves or what they make looks terrible. So make sure your egg decorating activity will meet the age criteria.
An egg hunt is also a popular Easter tradition. In our family, we never hid the eggs. We hid the baskets. Easter morning would have the kids running around the house to find their baskets. Our family tradition happened later in the day when all the cousins and friends were over for dinner. We would follow the Easter Bunny Trail. The kids would be all over the neighborhood finding the clues that the Bunny had left. Like Hansel and Gretel’s trail, the Bunny left a trail of clues would lead the kids to the ultimate Easter Basket with goodies for one and all. Rain or shine, adults and kids would all be out there together chasing the Bunny and his clever clues. It was truly such a fun tradition, that when the kids were in high school, we actually did it for all their friends. It was a huge success. Just goes to show that you are never too old to celebrate Easter!

Spring has sprung, Easter is just around the corner. One of the most celebrated holidays is Easter and part of the reason why this holiday is loved is the food associated with it. If you are hosting an Easter dinner with your friends or family this year, here are some good tips for some delicious Easter recipes.
Maple Syrup Ham and Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows
One of the most requested types of food to eat at Easter is ham and you can sweeten up the taste of it by adding some tasty maple syrup. While your store bought maple syrup should work, try to purchase maple syrup that is 100% pure and not made from corn syrup. Adding pure maple syrup will add a sweet, delicious taste that your friends and family will love.
You can easily accompany your maple syrup ham with some tasty sweet potatoes smothered in miniature marshmallows. Sweet potatoes will be your maple syrup ham’s best friend. For an extra treat, add miniature marshmallows and you will definetly get some smiles from children and adults alike.
Easter Bunny Cookies
Even though chocolate bunnies are pivotal to Easter, cookies can also be an excellent treat. Just like Christmas cookies are fun to make and yummy to eat, so are Easter Bunny cookies. Most grocery stores, discount stores, and craft stores sell Easter Bunny cookie cutters to make your favorite chocolate chip or sugar cookie into some fantastic Easter Bunny shapes.
Easter Egg Cup Cakes
Easter Egg cup cakes are an awesome way to add enthusiasm to the holidays for your children. Easter Egg Cupcakes are an easy and fun way to bring color to any Easter dinner dessert. Instead of using cup cake holders, try to use small waffle cones to hold your cup cake mixture. Once baked, add coloring, sprinkles, candy, etc. to your creation.
Easter Bunny Carrot Cake
Easter Bunny carrot cake is an awesome way to add color and excitement for the whole family. What goes better with bunny rabbits than carrots and a yummy carrot cake goes with any Easter dinner. You can easily purchase a carrot cake and decorate the top by hand. Many people create their own frosting adding food coloring to color the carrot cake to look like an Easter egg.
Easter Cocktails
For those adults that like to top off their dinner with a delicious alcoholic beverage, there are many colorful cocktails that compliment the mood of any Easter dinner. For example, certain liquors come in various colors such as grenadine for rose, blue Curacao for cerulean and mixing clear liquor with assorted fruit juices for multicolored Easter drinks. For those that prefer a cocktail sans the alcohol, it’s easy to add color to your event with a host of fresh fruit smoothies, just by adding fresh fruit with cream or milk. Some people even add some yogurt to the mix.
If you are looking for a great way to enjoy your Easter this year, follow the above Easter recipes.
