Monkey Bread.
Aug. 11th, 2006 01:59 pmOkay, guys, this stuff is fabulous.
sassy_fae and I just made some (which is to say, she soothed the baby and directed while I made the monkey bread, thereby protecting her sore foot from too much walking.) Here we are, recipe and variations:
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups buttermilk (or 1tbsp + 1tsp lemon juice, and fill up the container to 1 1/2 cups milk.)
2 1/2 cups flour
1tsp baking soda
pinch salt
1 cup raisins or other dried fruit.
QotD: "Raisins for the unimaginative."
sassy_fae We used dried apricots and figs.
Take three empty 14 oz cans, if you can find three that have no plastic in them. If you can't, large ceramic mugs work as well; that's what I used. Grease them. Mix everything together. Fill your receptacles about 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. (The recipe says 40-50, but I took them out nearly ten minutes early and they were perfect.) Serve warm - not that you'll have much choice once the other people in your house get a whiff of these things. Butter improves them.
