Amish Friendship Bread



Julie gave this to me last year, and I killed the starter, then Les gave it to me a few months ago...lets see how long it lasts.

1 cup live yeast starter (see above)

day 1:
Do nothing with the starter.
days 2-5:
Stir with a wooden spoon.
day 6:
Add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk. Stir with a wooden spoon.
days 7-9:
Stir with a wooden spoon.
Day 10:
Add 1 1/2 cup flour, 1 1/2 cup sugar and 1 1/2 cup milk. Stir. Take out 3 cups and place 1 cup each into three separate plastic containers. Give one cup and a copy of this recipe to three friends. To the balance (a little over one cup) of the batter, add the following ingredients and mix well.

1 cup oil
1/2 cup milk
3 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla

In a separate bowl combine the following dry ingredients and mix well:

2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 - (5.1 oz) box instant vanilla pudding
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup nuts

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix and pour into two well greased and sugared (1/2 tsp cinnamon to 1/2 c sugar) bread pans. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.

Apple Dumplings

I have had these every year since I was little for my birthday. that and chicken cordon bleu. 1 pastry for 9" pie 2 c. brown sugar 1 c. water 4 baking apples. Cinnamon and Sugar Peel and Core Apples. (If you don't want the serving so big you can cut the apples in half). Sprinkle Cinnamon and Sugar in them and wrap them in pie dough. Put them in a pan. Over the stove stir 2 c. brown sugar and 1 c. water and some cinnamon until bubbly, pour over apples. Bake 50-80 minutes ad 425F. (This depends on the pie dough, you don't want it raw at all or it tastes gross, so for whole apples longer, smaller apples shorter. )
