Sweet Seventeen Scones

This was a big success at Alleia's 17th birthday party. They tasted great. It would be pretty easy to swap out blueberries, almonds, and/or chocolate for the cranberry/orange combination, too.

Maple Monkey Bread

Since our family likes monkey breads and likes to make yeast dough – I thought this would be a winner.

Bannocks

Another element of our virtual Burns Supper.

Baking powder biscuits

This dough can also be used to make quick cinnamon rolls or for Darla's monkey bread recipe. Currants or raisins can be added to the dough. Add them after cutting in margarine and before adding the milk and egg.

Pumpkin Oat Applesauce Muffins

We made these with fresh pumpkin puree and went a little overboard on the chocolate chips (scaled down in the recipe here).

Pancakes for Five

We've merged Grandma's recipe and Matt's recipe and modified slightly.

Scottish Oat Cakes

They are really good slathered with apple sauce!

Beer Bread

The main benefit of this sweet bread is the speed with which it can be made. If you need bread for your dinner and haven't started anything rising, this bread can be whipped up and thrown straight into the oven.

Berkelaar 5-Minute Artisan Bread

It’s not sourdough, but a recipe that mixes easily and doesn’t require kneading. A search for “artisan bread in 5 minutes a day” would come up with recipes. Edward mixes it on Saturday evening and bakes it Sunday morning before church.

Dawn and Edward Berkelaar
Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

One of our favourite muffins. I usually double the recipe and make either 16 extra large or 20 large muffins. I use silicon muffins cupcake forms in metal muffin tins. Easy clean up there!

Naan Bread

After enjoying naan bread at the Berkelaars I decided to try to make some. We like it a lot. Instead of a grill as the recipe suggested, I use our teflon electric skillet and like the way the bread turns out.

Makes about 20 pancake-sized breads.

Honey Coffee Ring

I found this recipe in some magazine and we like it. Please note that the tube pan should not have the removeable bottom! I tried it in an angel food cake pan once with disasterous results as the honey sauce leaked out - what a mess. It also fits into two regular bread loaf pans. When cooled, slice and serve with butter.

Sometimes, I put the dough, with the honey sauce, into a pan as regular cinnamon rolls

Overnight Waffles

We've made this since at least as far back as our stay in Shoreline with Jonathon and Erika. They came up in conversation the other night during a hangout and I thought I would post the recipe in case others would like to experience them. We highly recommend them (partly because most of the mixing takes place the night before and therefore the mornings are easier). Our cookbook tells us that this recipe comes from the 1896 Fannie Farmer Cookbook.

Pumpkin Muffins

This is our current favorite [pumpkin recipe]. We have 1 cup bags of frozen pre-cooked pumpkin in the freezer which work for this.

Toaster Oven Cornbread

I often make this cornbread on Saturday mornings in my toaster oven. Using foil over the top keeps the cornbread tender, and easy to store for a day or two as leftovers. The amounts of each ingredient shift around quite a lot, but it usually just takes a few minutes longer or shorter to make up the different.
