Homemade Breadsticks
These breadsticks are easy and go well with spaghetti or soup. You can make breakfast treats with them using cinnamon and sugar.
Norma’s Homemade Bread
My mother used to bake bread about once a week when I was growing up on our farm. Store-bought bread, she said, was “too fluffy” and “doesn’t taste like anything.” Here’s the recipe for my mother’s bread.
Baking Powder Biscuits & Strawberry Shortcake
I have noticed over the years that there are two philosophies for Strawberry Shortcake. There are the people who make Strawberry Shortcake with biscuits. And then there are those who make it with angel food cake or plain white or yellow cake. My mother belonged to the biscuit philosophy. She also made baking powdered biscuits when she ran out of bread and needed a quick bread to serve with a meal.
My mom and dad both considered baking powder biscuits spread with butter and drizzled with pancake syrup or dark corn syrup to be an extra-special treat.
Molasses Oatmeal Bread
Not only is this a rich, dark bread that makes terrific sandwiches and tasty toast, it’s also high in fiber and low in refined sugar.
Quick Bread Mix
After my mom and dad retired from farming and moved to the house where I live now, I used to mix up this recipe for Mom so she would have it to make pancakes, biscuits or muffins.
Scones
My mother enjoyed these biscuits with a cup of coffee. They are especially good if you make them with dried cranberries.
Oatmeal Apple Raisin Muffins
These muffins are quick and easy to make for breakfast. I also make them for the coffee that’s served after church on Sunday, too. The church is the same little white country church I attended as a child.
