Bagels

• 1 Cup lukewarm water
• 1/3 Cup powdered milk
• 1/4 Cup butter
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 package yeast
• 1 egg, separated
• 3 3/4 Cups flour

1. Combine flour, powdered milk and salt. Mix butter, sugar, yeast with lukewarm water. Add the well beaten egg white and flour mixture; knead; let rise. Roll in small pieces the width of a finger and twice the length, tapering at the ends. Shape into rings. Pinch ends together; let stand on floured board only until they begin to rise. Fill a large, shallow pan half full of water. When very hot, but not boiling, drop rings in carefully, one at a time. Let cook under the boiling point on one side, then turn, and let other side cook at a simmer. They must be light, keep their shape and not break apart when handled. Place in hot oven (400 degrees) on baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle with salt, caraway seed, poppy seed, etc. and bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.
