Easy Old-Time Flapjacks Recipe - (Breads, Rolls)

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon shortening
1/2 cup milk or water
Lard or shortening for frying

Directions:

Combine all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix well. Pour the dough on a well-floured surface. Roll or pat into 3/8 to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut the dough into irregular-shaped squares, 2-3 inches long, and make slits in the middle of the squares. Heat some lard in the frying pan to fry your flapjacks. Fry 2 or 3 flapjacks at a time. Cook the flapjacks for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Place the flapjacks on a paper towel briefly to drain.

Thoughts On Easy Old-Time Flapjacks Recipe:

Serve your flapjacks with butter, syrup, jelly, or honey. This was an old-time, or "pioneer" recipe. Flapjacks were usually made when there was little food in the home. The slits in the flapjacks help them to fry evenly. When I was a child I always enjoyed breakfast time with my mother when she made flapjacks. She never called them flapjacks. They were always called pancakes and most of the time they came from a box mix. This recipe is very authentic and what "old-timers" would mix as a recipe. My favorite topping was syrup.

My second daughter was dating a nice young man in the past and we decided to eat at Denny's Restaurant with my daughter and her boyfriend. We ordered "pancakes" to eat on that occasion. I watched my daughter's boyfriend prepare his food before eating. He took his spoon and began to cut a hole in the middle of the pancakes. I asked him what he was doing. He said, "Just watch." After he cut the hole in the middle of the pancakes he filled the hole with syrup until it ran over top and onto the plate. He said he was making a crater for the syrup like you do when for mashed potatoes and gravy. It's like a gravy crater in mashed potatoes but it's a syrup crater. It made sense to me and I have been doing that since.

More Information On Flapjacks:

In the United Kingdom flapjacks are different from pancakes. Flapjacks in the UK are cooked differently too. When did the slit in flapjacks become incorporated into the cooking process? Do you want to learn how to make "British" flapjacks? You can learn more about the history of pancakes and flapjacks by visiting the Allrecipes website.

Some Questions For You:

Have you tried this old-time recipe? What is your favorite topping to put on flapjacks or pancakes? Have you tried peanut butter on your flapjacks? It is a favorite topping that my daughters use. Did you see my last recipe? It is called Needle In A Haystack No-Bake Cookies Recipe and it's a great no-bake cookie recipe to make.

My Thoughts For Today:

LAUGHER IS THE BEST MEDICINE on Facebook

My grandfather is famous in our family for making banana bread. He likes to let his bananas turn black so his bananas are sweet for his bread. If you visit his house and open his refrigerator freezer, you will likely find frozen black bananas. He is 94 years old and still loves making banana bread. I've heard my grandfather remark on other people's banana bread and insist that his bread is better and sweeter. My grandfather is a funny person. I would like to get my grandfather's recipe for banana bread and share it with you. I will see what I can do.

Keep on cooking!

Thoughts On Pumpkin Bread:

At the time of this recipe blog post, we are coming to the close of the summer months. It is still warm during the day here in Missouri, but it is nice and cool at night. This pumpkin bread will almost make you think of banana bread when you bite into it, but it has a really nice pumpkin flavor. If you have never had pumpkin bread, you are in for a treat with this recipe. You might never think of pumpkins the same way again after trying it. During the fall time, I always try to get at least one pumpkin for decorating but this recipe makes me want to use it for cooking again. I also like saving the seeds for roasting in the oven. You can add any season you like for that and I may share a recipe I like later on.

Extra Information:

Did you know that pumpkins originated from central America and they began being used for cooking as far back as before the birth of Christ? You can learn more about the history of pumpkins by visiting Classic History. They also share a great recipe as well.

Quick Question:

Have you ever made pumpkin bread? Have you ever eaten pumpkin seeds? I am sure you have been involved in making a jack-o-lantern or just used a pumpkin as outdoor decoration. What are your thoughts on this recipe? If you missed my last recipe I will share it here. It is not a sweet recipe but it is one that will go well with fall weather. It is called Tortilla Soup Easy Recipe and I am sure you will like it if you have not tried it before.

My Thoughts:

I wanted to share a picture of a KitchenAid stand mixer my daughter is wanting to purchase. If you have been reading my posts you will know that she is quite the baker. She mostly focuses on cookies and browning and sells them at the local farmer's market. I haven't been able to get her to several of the last markets because I have had to work on Fridays. The market hours are from 2:30pm to 6:30pm on Fridays. I work a sencon shift job and we start at 3:15pm so when I work that makes it impossible for me to help my daughter get to market. She has been saving her money for a mixer but she is not met her goal yet. She loves the yellow mixer. I think that one is the best too.

I just wanted to say thank you for reading my recipe blog post and to let you know that it helps. If you are interested in helping me to help my daughter reach her goal you can share this post with your friends. It is my goal to share great recipes and entertaining content. I might share trivial information about my life but I am always looking for great people to share with. I am very interested in your comments or opinions. Please feel free to share.

I hope you have a happy Friday and a great weekend. Thank you very much for visiting!

Ingredients:

1 package yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 1/2 to 3 cups of flour
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1/2 cup sugar or sugar substitute (or 1/4 cup substitute and 1/4 cup sugar)
3 tablespoons low-fat soft oleo (margarine)
1 egg (I use 2 egg whites)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Vanilla Glaze:
2 tablespoons warm water

3/4 cup powdered sugar

Dissolve yeast in water in a large bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy. Add 1 1/2 cups flour, yogurt, sugar, salt, softened oleo (margarine), egg, and vanilla. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes. Mix in 1 cup flour. Knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding flour to prevent sticking. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray. Spray top. Cover. Let rise until doubled in bulk, 1 1/2 hours.

Punch down. Divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each out on the floured surface. Brush lightly with melted low-fat oleo (margarine). Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture. (I use 1 part sugar substitute and 1 part natural sugar and cinnamon.) Roll into a roll and place on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Brush with oleo or cooking spray. Cover and let rise until almost double, 45 to 60 minutes. Bake in preheated oven, 425 degrees, for 8 minutes until golden brown. Brush on Vanilla Glaze while warm.

My Thoughts:

Wow! What a week for me. I have been pretty busy at my job. I know I mentioned that in my last post about my job but I am known to repeat myself a little. I had to work this Friday so I missed out on helping my daughter at the local farmer's market. I feel bad about that but she is very understanding. She is such a sweet girl.

I also wanted to share here about a former co-worker. He is a young man I had the pleasure of working with who has turned his hobby into a business. He has made soft plastic fishing lures for several years now and even made them when he was in public school. He would sell his fishing lures to his classmates and even his teachers. After he graduated he took a job where I work and for the past year has had his business on a part-time basis. He has set up a booth at the same farmer's market my daughter sells her baked goods.

He has done very on a part-time basis with his job and decided to leave where I work to pursue his business full-time. I tried talking him into staying where I work for another year or so and continuing to work his business part-time while setting up his website to sell lures on. I couldn't talk him into staying so he has left working full-time with me. I completely understand him doing that and he has support from his parents.

He is currently making the same amount of money from his business as he was making from working at the factory with me. I am proud of him and will blog more about his progress in his business as I hear about it from him. I know he will do very well in the sporting goods industry. He is very motivated and a hard worker. He has a very good character and morals. I don't see too many young men like him today.

I decided to share a picture of us both in this post. I hope you enjoy the picture. When he has his website up and his store completely going I will do a post on all those details. His business is Bubba Reds Bait Co. If you are on Facebook you can follow him on his Facebook business page called Bubba Reds Baid Co.

Now allow me to share my thoughts on cinnamon rolls. I absolutely love those cinnamon rolls. There is something about the cinnamon and sugar with the icing that my tastebuds love. I love cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven. My daughter has a cinnamon roll cookie she makes and sells at the farmer's market and they always sell fast. They are one of my favorite cookies she makes. When they are warm they take just like fresh cinnamon rolls. I love to have hot coffee with fresh cinnamon rolls. 

More Thoughts On Cinnamon Rolls:

The history of the cinnamon roll or cinnamon bun is something that many will debate about. The Swedes claim that the cinnamon-baked delight originated there in the 1920s. You can read more interesting facts about cinnamon rolls at The Sussex Kitchen.

Quick Question:

Do you like chopped nuts on your cinnamon rolls? I love nuts but I do not really like them on my cinnamon rolls. I believe chopped nuts can give your baked cinnamon rolls an extra texture many enjoy. Another quick question, do you think that roasting nuts to put on cinnamon rolls would add something special to the taste? It is just an idea I have and I have not tried it but I do think it is worth a try. If I do try this I will share it here on my blog.
