Other minor strains are traceable but unimportant.The Chinese of the North, are by no means of the pure stock of the race of Han. Whole nations of Tartars ha\ e been lost among them, absorb-ed and Chinacized, and that at a time when the Chinese were not so numerous and the Tartars were iniuimerable. Just as the Southern Chinese are so much aboriginee that no one of them can say to what extent he is Chinese, s«) the northerners are so mu(;li Tartar that the Chinese in them is little more than a leaven. There was a time when it was the practice of the early Chinese Kmperors to bring in whole armies of

Then the Toba, the Kitan, theJu-chen, the Mongols, and the Manchus, each in their turnmoved bodily into China and became for the most partChhiese. The present ra])id absorption of the Manchusis an object lesson in the race-building of the past in thenorth. The Manchus, or at least those who still have thedistinctive physical characteristics of their race, aredistinguishable to a close and familiar observer, but tothe casual visitor they are as much Chinese as any otherblue-gowned celestial he chances to meet. The women,however, still wear a garb and a head-dress which aredistincti\e. and may be recognized at any time. Unlikethe Chinese women they wear long gowns, like the Chinesemen.

I used the chocolate cupcake recipe found in the Scharffenberger Essence of Chocolate cookbook. I was very impressed — probably the best chocolate cupcake I’ve made so far. Although I’m usually not a huge fan of buttercream, I decided that since it was going to be for mini-cupcakes it’d be okay. I added about 2 teaspoons (maybe a touch more) of chai tea spice powder and a pinch of cinnamon and was very pleased with the results. The decor was just punched out fondant with those metal ball things. (ew for taste but very pretty and fun!)
The cupcake recipe:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 unsweetened cocoa powder
10 Tb (5 oz) unsalted butter at room temp.
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
3/4 cup whole milk
stir flour and cocoa powder and set aside. in mixer blend butter, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for about 5 minutes or until pale and fluffy. add egg and blend until incorporated. add flour mixture and milk alternately. fill muffin cups 2/3 full and bake 15-20 min. at 350 degrees.
The chai spice buttercream recipe can be found here: cupcakeblog.com/index.php/2006/05/chocolate-chai-spice-cu…
but instead of making a spice mix I used the kashmiri chai tea mix from malabar trading. www.malabartradingco.com GREAT STUFF.
