I developed this recipe while I was interning at the Land Institute (summer 2002). I really like the heartier feeling that comes with the cornmeal. I would often walk a mile each way to the mulberry tree to pick fresh berries to mix in with the batter, and that may be part of the reason they always tasted so good.
This is a recipe from our local health food store's monthly magazine. Banana chocolate chip muffins are already delicious--adding peanut butter makes them even more so :-)
I've been experimenting with different bread recipes. They all have tasted good (can fresh bread taste poorly?), but a good texture has been tough to find - usually too crumbly. I've found a recipe that holds up and thought I'd share it. It's from a book called "The Bread Bible" by Beth Hensperger.
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.
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.
