This is a recipe that is not, maybe, for everyone. Our roommate Cindy’s first and only response was “well, it’s not chocolate cake” Now we warn her of that sad fact before she tastes anything we bake.
This is a recipe John made during his medical school days. It goes really well with creamy soup or with chunks of cheese when hiking. Since it is a braided bread, chunks are broken off from the loaf instead of being sliced.
This recipe is from Mrs. Tuninga, the wife of the minister who was serving College Ave. CRC when Ted and I moved to Winnipeg in 1971. We make them a lot, and I sometimes use this recipe for caramel rolls when I want to let them rise overnight and have them ready in the morning.
Bev got this recipe from Mrs. Wheeler, the widow lady in whose upstairs apartment she and baby Ryan lived while Norm served in Viet Nam. These rolls are often a Sunday morning breakfast special at our house. At fund raising auctions, a 9x13 pan of these rolls has brought a good price. They are usually sold quite quickly at bake sales too.
Everybody here likes to see left over mashed potatoes used in these doughnuts. Imagine our surprise as we bit into a doughnut after using the mashed potatoes to which onion powder had been added!
