THE BAKERY - BISHOP HILL, IL




The bakery deserves it's own post. The smells wafting out of this bakery could not be resisted. And I have no will power when it comes to homemade breads. So we definitely had to stop in and spend some money. The bread was so good that we went back the next day and had lunch here and everything was excellent.







Here's a recipe for their Swedish Almond Cookies:
1/2 lb shelled almonds
3 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp grated lemon rind
Wash but do not skin amonds. Dry in a moderate over 10-15 minutes. PUt through food chopper. Beat egg whites and sugar until stiff. Fold in almonds, cinnamon and lemon rind. Drop from teaspoon onto cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 15 minues. Cool and store in covered container. These cookies keep a long time and will improve in flavor.
