Banana Bread

The ONLY banana bread recipe I use. Everyone in the house loves it.

1¼ cups sugar
½ cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1½ cups mashed ripe bananas (3 to 4 medium bananas)
½ cup milk with ½ Tbsp. lemon juice (let sit a few minutes)
1 tsp. vanilla
2½ cups flour
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt

Mix ingredients in order until just moistened. Grease loaf pans or line
with foil. I use 1 regular size loaf pan and 2 small ones. Move oven
rack so that tops of pans are in the middle. Bake at 350 for an hour.
Check at 45 minutes and test for doneness with toothpick.

The original recipe says:
½ cup buttermilk (instead of my substitute of milk/lemon juice)
use 1 loaf pan, 9x5x3 or 2 loaf pans, 8 1/2x4 1/2x 2 1/2.

Easy Donuts

Joe introduced me to these, and Paula Deen has a recipe for them on Food Network . So I am jumping to the conclusion that they are popular in the South... :) Here's how we made ours. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot on medium heat. You want to heat to about 350 degrees, so we used a candy thermometer to monitor the temp. Prepare the toppings. Note - For the toppings, we didn't actually measure any of the ingredients, just eyeballed it. But this is about how much we used. Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside. Chocolate Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside.

Auntie Katie's Pizza Dough

1 pkg Yeast (1TB) 1 TB Sugar 1 1/2 C Really warm water Put the water in a bowl and sprinkle the yeast and sugar on top and let set until foamy. For extra speed I set the bowl in the sink with HOT water surrounding the bowl. This will help the yeast activate faster. Add 2 1/2 C Flour 1 tsp Salt Mix all together. Let rise until double in bulk. (For a speedy trick I put it in the oven on no more than 100 to help it rise faster.) Punch down and grease one cookie sheet and spread dough over to fit the sheet. Don't put toppings on it yet. Poke it with a fork just enough so it doesn't puff up. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes. Or just before it turns brown. Bring it out and top with sauce and cheese and toppings. Put it back in the oven and bake until cheese melts. For me it is all about the sauce you use and the kind of cheese I still have yet to find the perfect combo but we LOVE the crust especially since you pre bake you won't ever have it come out doughy. Enjoy
