Even though this bread does not always puff up or pull apart into a pocket, it is still a very good flat bread.
The longer the dough has to sit in the fridge, the better it tastes. It can be made up to three days ahead, but it is also good if you are making it last minute.
Our neighbor, Miss Margaret gave us this recipe over ten years ago. She was a wonderful friend to my grandma and they spent many hours just enjoying each other’s company every summer.
One day we accidentally made this with half the butter. It still tasted very good. Allan said that either recipe “melts in your mouth”.
For reference 2 tablespoons of kernels, about an ounce of kernels, will make approximately four cups (one quart) of popped corn. You will need around 3/4 cups of kernels for this recipe. Be sure to remove the unpopped or partially popped seeds before making.
These are a drier biscotti, but are wonderful with hot chocolate or tea.
We keep searching for inexpensive but fun toppings for our popcorn. This one is really sweet, but it is a great stand in when you want caramel corn without all the work.
Adrian made up this recipe to go with fish. It is excellent!
This is one of our favorite ways to eat popcorn.
This is not the super soft, sweet pretzel that many malls offer. This has a bagel like texture that is much better I think! Salt as much or as little as you like and serve with a favorite mustard or cheese sauce.
Andrea requested a not sweet snack. We thought cinnamon popcorn might do the trick.
Nope. It didn’t. But the rest of us thought it was very good!
These muffins are a wonderful fall treat. My mom was given this recipe years ago when she spent the day with her cousin Kathy. They made a few muffin recipes and other fun fall treats. This is probably my favorite. Not only do these freeze well, they are also good for a few days after baking and toast nicely.
You can use all purpose flour, but these are also great as a 50/50 mix with AP flour and 50% white whole wheat. We rarely use the full amount of sugar. They are good with or without the steusel. If you chose not to add the streusel, they are even less sweet, which is a nice change sometimes.
If you prefer to make a loaf of bread, pour into a greased and lightly floured pan and bake for about an hour.
We do not follow this recipe precisely. Depending on who is making the crisp, and how many apples we have, we often fill our pan 3/4 of the way full because we really like apples. Instead of cutting in cold butter, ours is usually softened and we just mix it with the topping ingredients. Since we do not like super sweet apple crisp, we use one cup sugar in the topping, but use more if making for company. If the topping seems a little dry, we add extra butter to the top when we put the apple crisp in the oven.
While this is great for dessert with vanilla ice cream, we often eat it for dinner. We also enjoy it warm for breakfast with milk.
