allezcuisine Oct 6, 2006, 5:27pm » For Arrianna: Ingredients : Makes one 8 x 8 inch loaf 2 large eggs 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 cup buttermilk Dry Ingredients 1.5 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal (preferably stone-ground) 1/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt Method : 1.Preheat oven to 450o. 2.Lightly spray an 8 x 8 inch pan with cooking spray. 3. In the work bowl of a food processor, place the eggs, oil and buttermilk and pulse to continue. 4. Add the dry ingredients and pulse briefly until just combined and until all the dry ingredients are moistened but the mixture is still slightly lumpy. 5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. 6.Cut into 9 squares and serve with butter. This is a sweet, light cornbread, the kind that Southerners tend to dismiss as "Yankee cornbread." The light texture lends itself to sweeter additions, and the following recipe also makes terrific muffins, especially if you add 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries.

Cranberry-Nut Mini Loaves with Flaxseeds By EatingWell.com Makes 3 mini loaves, 8 slices each ACTIVE TIME: 30 minutes TOTAL TIME: 1 3/4 hours (including cooling time) EASE OF PREPARATION: Moderate
This tender, flavorful version of a holiday staple is made more wholesome with whole-wheat flour and flaxseeds. You can easily double the recipe if you are making these baby loaves as gifts.
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries 2 oranges Orange juice, if needed 1/3 cup whole flaxseeds (see Ingredient note) 1 cup whole-wheat flour 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 large egg 3/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup canola oil 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (2 ounces), divided
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Coat three 6-by-3-inch mini-loaf pans (2-cup capacity) with cooking spray.
2. Pulse cranberries in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Grate orange zest to measure 2 tablespoons. Squeeze juice, adding orange juice, if necessary, to measure 3/4 cup.
3. Grind flaxseeds into coarse meal in a clean dry coffee grinder or blender. Transfer to a large bowl. Add whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; whisk to blend.
4. Whisk egg, sugar, oil, vanilla and the orange zest and juice in a medium bowl. Add to the flour mixture and mix with a rubber spatula just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in cranberries and 1/4 cup nuts. Scrape the batter into the prepared pans, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the loaves with the remaining 1/4 cup nuts. Place the pans on a baking sheet.
5. Bake the loaves until the tops are golden and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Loosen edges and turn the loaves out onto the rack to cool completely before slicing or wrapping.
Nutritional Information
Per slice: 120 calories; 5 g fat (0 g sat, 2 g mono); 9 mg cholesterol; 16 g carbohydrate; 3 g protein; 2 g fiber; 79 mg sodium.
Tip
Ingredient note: Renowned for their nutritional benefits--fiber, lignans (phytochemicals associated with reduced risk of cancer) and omega-3 fatty acids--flaxseeds also contribute a delicious nutty taste to baked goods. Flaxseeds can be found in the natural-foods section of large supermarkets and in natural-foods stores. The seeds must be ground for your body to take advantage of the nutrients. Ground seeds are highly perishable, so grind them just before using. Store whole flaxseeds in the refrigerator or freezer.
Make Ahead Tip
Equipment: Three 6-by-3-inch mini-loaf pans -- To make ahead: The loaves will keep, well wrapped, at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Cherry Oat Scones
ingredients
scones 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup Quaker® Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked) 1/4 cup sugar 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional) 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) margarine or butter, chilled 1/2 cup dried cherries or cranberries 1/3 cup nonfat or low-fat milk 1/4 cup plain nonfat or low-fat yogurt 1 egg, lightly beaten
topping 1 tablespoon sugar 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon preparation 1. Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. 2. In large bowl, combine flour, oats, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg; mix well. Cut in margarine with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in dried cherries. Add combined milk, yogurt and egg to flour mixture; mix with fork just until dry ingredients are moistened. 3. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface; knead gently 8 to 10 times. Roll or pat dough into 8-inch circle about 3/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with combined 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut with 2-1/2-inch heart-shaped biscuit cutter, or cut into 10 wedges with sharp knife. Place about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. 4. Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until light golden brown. Serve warm. Tightly wrap leftover scones, label and freeze.
Servings: 8 TO 10 SCONES
Note: I never knead scone dough, no matter what the recipe says (this one is from the Quaker Oats site and it's a good combo of flavors). Mix just until the dough comes together, then dump it out on the baking sheet in serving sized spoonfuls or in a rough circle of all the dough, then cut it there. Scones get tough very easily with too much handling, so less mixing/kneading/shaping is always better.

Fruit and Nut Scones Ingredients 2 cups self-raising flour 1 teaspoon sugar ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 tablespoon butter ½ cup raw nuts and dried fruit (approx half of each) 1 cup reduced fat milk extra milk for glazing
Method Preheat the oven to 230°C. Sift the flour, baking powder and sugar into a bowl. Rub in the butter with fingertips. Add the nuts and dried fruit and mix well. Slowly add the milk and gently mix with wooden spoon. Then knead until you have a soft dough, adding a little flour to your hands as you need it. Roll out the dough to 1½ cm thick. Cut into rounds with a scone cutter or upside-down glass. Place the scones on a greased oven tray and brush with extra milk. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until the tops are golden and sides are firm. Lift onto a cooling rack or, if they are to be eaten immediately, wrap in a tea towel to keep warm. Serve plain, or with a little butter, margarine or jam.
