Bread

Preheat oven to 350 F

Grease a 9X5 inch loaf pan  ( or spray with vegetable cooking spray)

In a medium bowl, combine:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp ground cloves

Mix well with a wooden spoon

In a large bowl, combine:

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 Tbsp. canola oil
2 large eggs

Mix well.

Add flour mixture, stirring until just combined.

This recipe is hand-written in my book. I got it from mom, who says she got it from "the Super Store's bargain banana bag".

This is a delicious loaf; something like monkey bread but I like to slice it.

I tried it in an angel food cake pan with disastrous results.  The sauce leaked out all over the oven.  If you don't have a tube pan, you could use two bread pans.

6 cups flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 1/2 cups dry buttermilk
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. soda
4 tsp. salt
4 Tbsp. baking powder

Mix well, store in a tightly covered container.  To use:

3 cups mix
3 eggs
1 1/2 Tbsp. oil
water to desired consistency

I first made these the morning of a Calvinette slumber party.  Even in the dawning hours of a new day following a sleepless night, they were a big hit.

I can remember eating “panacakes” (as dad would say) for supper.  I still like to, sometimes.  Mom would make this big batch because everybody liked them.  The middle of our gas stove opened to a griddle which was perfect for frying pancakes.  I think that is one of the first things each of us kids learned to make.
