Sherry's Banana Bread

Dry

1 ½ cups four

½ cup sugar (optional)

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soada

½ tsp salt

1 ½ cups banana nut crunch cereal

1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts and or pecans)

 

Wet

2 eggs

2 or 3 bananas

¼ cup vegetable oil

¼ cup water

In large bowl, mix wet ingredients.  I beat the eggs first then add the rest.

Mix dry ingredients except cereal and nuts.  Add to egg mixture and mix until just lumpy.  Then fold in nuts and cereal. 

Pour into greased 9x5 loaf pan

Bake for about 50 minutes at 3500F

Bill’s (not so) Super Secret Waffle Recipe

This recipe makes one batch.  One batch should make about 7 waffles.

The night before:

In one bowl put one stick of butter and 2 cups of milk.  I bring to room temperature. And then heat in microwave for two minutes to reach a temperature of about 110 degrees.  If not at room temp, then you might have to heat longer to get to 110 degrees

In the other bowl put ½ cup water that is between 110 and 120 degrees.  Sprinkle evenly, 1 heaping teaspoon of yeast onto the water.  Sprinkle the same amount of sugar.  Mix and let sit for about ten minutes.  After ten minutes the mixture should have risen to about twice the original height.  Your mileage may vary.

Add the yeast to the milk.  Add two cups flour and mix to smooth.  Put saran wrap over top (tightly please) and place in sink or where overflows will not bother you.   

The next day:

Mix two eggs with two teaspoons of vanilla and ¼ teaspoon of baking soda.  Add to the waffle batter and enjoy.
