Our home in Lebanon was filled with the comings and goings of company during the months surrounding Christmas. Since mom usually had on hand the Master Baking Mix (October 15 blog post) ingredients and the abundant fresh fruit of Lebanon, her quick go-to crowd pleasing coffee cake was the featured item of a winter’s morning breakfast.
We’re continuing to use our Master Baking Mix posted back in October to whip up fast and easy baked goods to accompany our holiday meals.
Holidays are around the corner. We’re waiting to the last minute to participate, initiate, and/or implement family gatherings.
I’m sure you’ve noticed that grocery store shelves are running low on inventory. As a baker, my favorite shortcut recipes are lacking in ingredients, especially if they call for specific baking mixes. And if you do find what you need, chances are, the prices are exorbitant!
I made up another recipe this last weekend, because I was in the mood for baking and not in the mood to go to the store!
I partially made up a cake recipe (I made cupcakes) to celebrate the end of summer and served them for a special small gathering. Lemon brightens up any occasion. And if you include a touch of exotic saffron, the floral notes will tickle the back of your tongue for sure!
