I also wanted to make some bread, after all it is fall and that is the best season to bake and bread is one item that always gets eaten quickly in our home. With buttermilk available, I browsed through a bread cookbook and found a buttermilk bread recipe. Perfect! So I asked if anyone wanted to help make a loaf of bread and our son said he wanted to help. So we mixed up a half a batch (I should have mixed up the whole batch). Put it in a warm oven to rise and focused on other kitchen duties – mainly washing dishes.
Our daughter wanted to make black and whites (half moons) so we emptied the dish drainer and mixed up a batch. We needed to fill the cookie jar for the week anyway. I checked out some wonderful cookbooks by Carole Walter from our local library. Great cookies. Coffeecakes. Sticky buns. Muffins and more. Plus pies and tarts.
Have I captured your attention?
I’ll tell you, we have been pouring over these books. I’m definitely going to purchase one of her books and after further review and recipe testing (pies and tarts and coffeecakes, sticky buns, muffins and more), I might be adding three cookbooks to my collection.
Tip: Take a trip to your local library and check them out! You won’t be disappointed.
We always have fun in the kitchen and the results from our Sunday baking were…oh so good! The bread was perfect with dinner and the cookies, very delicious and you only need one to satisfy any and all cravings. The kids took a poll: Which glaze is your favorite? Results - three to one. Three of us prefer the white glaze; odd person out, was the Big Guy (my chocoholic).
I have two great assistants. Next time, I think I’ll assist and they can bake (and clean up)!
