Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Quick & easy… doesn’t need to rise!

INGREDIENTS

· 1/3 cup white sugar

· 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

· 2 cups all-purpose flour

· 1 tablespoon baking powder

· 1/2 teaspoon salt

· 1 cup white sugar

· 1 egg, beaten

· 1 cup milk

· 1/3 cup vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. In a small bowl, mix together 1/3 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon; set aside.

2. In large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and remaining 1 cup sugar. Combine egg, milk, and oil; add to flour mixture. Stir until just moistened.

3. Pour half of the batter into pan. Sprinkle with half the reserved cinnamon/sugar mixture. Repeat with remaining batter and cinnamon/sugar mixture. Draw a knife through batter to marble.

4. Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Wrap in foil and let sit overnight before slicing.

German Puff Pancake

Ingredients & Instructions:

Makes 3-4 servings.

Heat oven to 425°F. Put 3 Tbsp. margarine or butter in pie plate (glass is best). Heat in oven or microwave just until the margarine is melted. Remove pan from oven. Mix together in blender until smooth: 4 eggs, ½ cup milk, 1/8 tsp. salt, ½ c. all-purpose flour. (That order is important.) Blend in the melted margarine. Pour the mixture into pie plate.

Bake the pancake about 20-25 minutes or until it is puffy and golden brown.  Gather the whole family around before taking it out of the oven – this is the best part.  ) Top with powdered sugar and drops of lemon juice, maple syrup, fresh fruit or whatever suits your fancy.
