Honey Corn Muffins and Baked Beans

Ingredients:

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 cup milk
2 eggs
4 Tbsp. butter, melted
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp. vanilla

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.  Mix the milk, eggs, butter, honey and vanilla in another bowl.  Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.  Put into muffin tins and bake until cooked through and golden.

These were baked in mini muffin tins and took around 12 minutes.  Regular muffins would need more time.

Ingredients:

1 large can Pork N Beans, drained
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
1/8 tsp. mustard
1 onion (option)

Directions:

Cook all the ingredients in a sauce pan for about one hour so the flavor has time to set.  Enjoy!

Homemade Rolls

Ingredients:

3 cups water

3 Tbsp (heaping) yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
2 cubes (1 cup) butter
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup powdered milk
1 Tbsp salt
12 cups flour
6 eggs

Directions:
Put 2 cups of water on to boil.  Mix together 1 cup warm water, 3 Tbsp. yeast and 1 Tbsp. sugar and set aside.  Melt the butter and mix in 1 cup of sugar, powdered milk and salt.  Add in the 2 cups of boiling water.  Mix in 4 cups of flour, then the six eggs and the yeast mixture.  Add the remaining flour until you get a nice dough consistency (about 8 cups).

Knead the dough until nice and soft.  Let rise until double, about one hour.  Punch down and then form rolls.  Place on a greased pan and let rise until doubled in size (about 1 more hour).  Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.

Makes about 60 rolls.


*If you don't want to bake all 60 rolls right away, it works great to divide the dough into quarters and freeze each portion in a gallon freezer bag.  Then when you want to bake it, let the bag of dough thaw on the counter until it reaches room temperature and is puffy.  Then you can form the rolls from there.

Banana Bread

Ingredients:

     2 cups flour
     ½ tsp. salt
     ½ tsp. baking powder
     1 tsp. baking soda
     1 tsp. cinnamon
     2 cups sugar
     2 cups bananas, mashed

     Walnuts, chopped
     Sugar

Mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and sugar. Hand mix in the bananas, butter and eggs. Put in greased and floured baking pans. Sprinkle with walnuts and sugar on top of the loaves. Bake at 350 degrees for around 50 minutes. Start checking on the bread after it has cooked 40 minutes.

*For this recipe I used smaller loaf pans so the cooking took less time.  Make sure that you keep an eye on the bread because you don't want it to overcook.
