LUTHERAN CHURCH BASEMENT EGG COFFEE
I'm a former Minnesota kid who grew up surrounded by "Lutheran Women Who Cook" (in the church basement) for showers, weddings and funerals. There's even a cookbook available with a similar title. This is the way I recall the ladies making coffee in huge enamel pots, and it's the clearest, most flavorful coffee you'll ever enjoy. I outgrew their 10,000 Jello and Miracle Whip recipes a long time ago, but I fondly remember the Lutheran Church Basement (aka Swedish) Egg Coffee.

Steps:
- Use a graniteware (enamel) coffee pot.
- Wash egg; break it into a small bowl, reserving shell, and beat slightly. Add 1/2 cup cold water, the 1 cup ground coffee and the reserved egg shell, crushed. Mix thoroughly. Turn into coffee pot; pour on boiling water, and stir. (I remember the ladies adding the coffee/egg mixture directly to the boiling water.) Optional: The spout of the pot can be stuffed with soft paper towel to prevent escape of the fragrant aroma. Place on front of range and boil 3 minutes. If not boiled, coffee is cloudy. If boiled too long, too much tannic acid is developed. Add remaining 1/2 cup cold water; which perfects clearing. Cold water, which is heavier than hot, sinks to the bottom and carries the grounds with it. After coffee has settled, serve at once.

OL' FASHION EGG COFFEE
REAL brewed coffee is almost a thing of the past. My Dad used to make this regularly. He was a hired farm hand in the 1930's & 40's, until he met my Mother. He learned how to make "Egg Coffee" from one of the lady's he worked for & he then passed it down to me. The egg takes away any bitterness. Use an old 12 cup porcelian coffee pot...remove the stem & basket, if they're there. If you don't have one, you can pick one up at a flea market for just a few dollars. It's a little tricky at first, but once you get the hang of how to brew it, you might not go back to your drip-coffeemaker!

Steps:
- Fill the coffee pot with fresh, cold water, to just a bit obove the bottom of the spout.
- Bring to a rolling boil.
- Meantime, mix the coffee & the egg, INCLUDING the SHELL, in a small bowl.
- When water comes to a boil, reduce heat until water is just boiling.
- Add coffee/egg mixture to the water, stirring CONSTANTLY & adjust the heat so as NOT to boil over!
- Now here's the tricky part -- stirring constantly, brew for about 3-5 minutes, until the "froth" disappears -- you can almost "feel" the water change.
- Remove from the heat & pour in about 1 to 1 ½ cups COLD water & let set for 5-10 minutes -- this will make the grounds settle to the bottom.
- There will be some grounds in the spout -- just pour them off.
- ENJOY!

"I have many buttermilk recipes, and this one brings back the flavor of old fashioned homemade doughnuts," says Rita Reifenstein of Evans City, Pennsylvania. Spiced with nutmeg, slices of the tasty cake are even more tempting served with a dollop of whipped cream.
