Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

Poor Knights - Heirloom Recipe From 1500's Br

breads, desserts, british

4 thick slices of bread
2 eggs beaten
200 ml white wine [or milk]
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/4 tablespoon sugar
1 oil for frying
1 confectioners sugar to serve
1 cinnamon to serve

This dish originated during the middle ages in England and spread all over the world with many variations. Traditionalists should use bread, but stale cake is a good substitute. Red wine can be used instead of white. Substitute milk for wine and you have a more recognizable dish called, incorrectly, french toast. Bread: Cut off crusts and cut into quarters. Place in a deep dish. Mix eggs with wine, cinnamon, and sugar in a bowl. Pour, once mixed, over the bread and leave to soak for 3 minutes. Heat the oil [1/4 inch deep]. Drain the bread and slide it into the hot oil {Watch your hands as it 'spits'}. Fry until golden brown on both sides Drain on absorbent kitchen paper. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and ground cinnamon. From Ron's Plaice in Blackpool:) Mar 1996.
