I added about 2 1/2 cups unbleached flour, also about 1/2 tea. vanilla, about 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts, and about 1 cup oatmeal. I followed the recipe with a cup of oil, a cup of brown sugar, not white but unbleached whole flour, 3 jumbo eggs, and the rest what you used. Oh my goodness, they are so good. I topped with real butter and a little bit of apple jelly. I ate 3 before I knew it. Looks like it will make almost 2 1/2 dozen, hubby ate 2, but he is in the kitchen right now so no telling how many he will eat. I can't wait till tomorrow morning. A hot cup of tea with some more, maybe 4 this time. LOl Thanks again for the recipe.LindaSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036032268931531402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-63440552758270047422011-11-19T11:20:35.670-08:002011-11-19T11:20:35.670-08:00hello heather,

On the corn on the cob and freezing. An old farmer told me to take the unshucked ears of corn and put them in a paper bag or plastic and just put them in the freezer. I cut off a little of the silk and cut the stalk off to the bottom of the corn. Took off a couple of leaves and put 10 each into a quart bag. They stack nice in the freezer that way. I put up almost 3 bushels this way and had to go any buy a new freezer. What a bummer, right. So to cook, I wrap in aluminum foil and put on the grill, now I am putting them in the toaster over. About 375 for about 45min to an hour. I just wrap them up tight and let them cook. Taste like they were just picked. I think maybe, and I may be wrong, if you try to boil them like they were fresh they would get too soft. Freezing them and then wrapping in foil has just enough moisture, but not too much. I cut off about a bushel and froze them in plastic bags. I didn't blanch or anything. So maybe you can try that way. I don't think I will ever put corn on the cob in boiling water again. This way is so much easier and a lot less hassle.<br />Try it and let me know what you think.<br /><br />Thank you so much for all the new recipes. I think if I can this weekend we will try pumpkin muffins for breakfast or snack. Later.LindaSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036032268931531402noreply@blogger.com
