Again these were really good and not from a box. I am guessing that it has to be cheaper. It was stuff I already had. Eli told me that Egos are better. Oh well...there is always dinner tonight.

*1 3/4 cups milk
*1/2 cup vegetable oil
*1 tablespoon white sugar

*1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat waffle iron.
Beat eggs in large bowl with hand beater until fluffy.
Beat in flour, milk, vegetable oil, sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla, just until smooth.
Spray preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour mix onto hot waffle iron.
Cook until golden brown.
Serve hot.

106. Old Fashioned Pancakes

These were really yummy. I normally must say that we just crack open the box of pancake mix and beat in the eggs. This was very easy and good. Elise claimed that they looked crazy, but to be fair...crazy is her favorite word. She told our neighbor that he had crazy eyes! So I dont know I would call her a fair judge. Eli, Dave and myself really liked them.


*1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
*3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
*1 teaspoon salt
*1 tablespoon white sugar
*1 1/4 cups milk
*1 egg
*3 tablespoons butter, melted


In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat.
Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
Brown on both sides and serve hot.

107. Cinnamon Bread

*1 1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
*2 tablespoons margarine, softened
*3 1/4 cups bread flour
*1/4 cup white sugar
*1 1/2 teaspoons salt
*1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
*3 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
*3/4 cup raisins

This is cooking at the moment and smells good. The minute I hit the start button my kids want bread...when its done they want no part of it.
Sorry that last week was so bad. we had a huge childrens clothing sale and it was a kiler of a week. Now I am back and read to cook.
