Cinnamon Sugar Quick Bread

I shared yesterday that in the last couple of weeks I've been in a cooking funk. Well... really I guess it was a non-cooking funk ha.. since I haven't been doing much cooking.

My pantry was slim pickings last week and yet I was in the mood to cook something. I also needed something for my breakfasts and remembered this recipe for Cinnamon Sugar Quick Bread.

This is a frugal, pantry cooking recipe. It uses ingredients I normally keep in my pantry. It does call for buttermilk which I almost NEVER buy unless I'm making ranch dressing. But, that's no problem. Just measure the milk and add a spoonful of lemon juice or vinegar. Let it sit a few minutes and it works fine in this recipe. I don't actually measure the lemon juice.

My husband also loves this recipe. He's not much of a sweet eater but if we have a loaf of Cinnamon Sugar Quick Bread on the counter, then he will be slicing into it. It reminds me of zucchini bread, but without the zucchini. Its not a yeast bread. Its a quick bread, more like a muffin.

Here's how I make Cinnamon Sugar Quick Bread AT HOME MY WAY:

Cinnamon Sugar Quick Bread

2 cups all-purpose flour (unbleached is best)
1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk/sour milk (1 T. vinegar/lemon juice, then add enough milk to equal 1 cup)
1/3 cup oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs (slightly beaten)

Streusel:

2 Tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 teaspoon butter/margarine

In a large bowl, combine all of the bread ingredients. Beat for 2 minutes. It will be very thick. Pour the batter into a sprayed/prepared pan. In a separate, small bowl, combine all streusel ingredients until crumbly. Sprinkle over the batter and swirl slightly to marble. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes or until a toothpick/knife inserted into the center comes clean (my loaf took a little longer). Cool 10 minutes and then loosen with a knife and remove from the pan. Makes 1 loaf.

Best Dill Pickles EVER! (Just like Claussen) (Easy - no canning!)

Do you want to make the best, easiest homemade dill pickles in the world? I found a recipe for dill pickles that tastes JUST LIKE Claussen refrigerator pickles. Those are the best anyway, right? That crunch, the dill and the garlic... and oh yea , the crunch! This recipe is super easy because you don't have to process these pickles which means there is no canning needed. You just fill a gallon jar (we use an old pickle jar) with fresh cucumbers and dill heads, and then pour over the cooled liquids/seasonings. Let it sit on the counter for three days, and then refrigerate. After that, the pickle eating begins. They are supposed to keep for one year like that in the fridge, without canning. (We let them sit for the 3 days, then refrigerated them overnight before opening the jar for the much anticipated first taste. Did they taste like Claussen? YOU BET YOUR PRETTY PICKLE THEY DID! We were all SO ex...

PRINTABLE RECIPE HERE Ingredients: 2 cups SELF RISING flour (self rising flour gives the perfect taste to homemade biscuits) 1/3 cup shortening (cold real butter also works here) 1 1/4 cup buttermilk* *NOTE: (If using regular milk combined with lemon juice vinegar referenced below, you only need 1 cup of milk because thinner regular milk uses less by volume than the thick real buttermilk.)
