Traditional White Bread
Best bread I ever made. FIL has a standing order when I make this, so I always double the recipe. Makes for great french toast.

Fluffy Pancakes
The best part of these is reading the recipe you know you can play with it and they will still be good. I took some Kefir made from whipped cream and substituted it for the sour milk and butter. Added 1/2 tsp vanilla. For the flour it was 1/4 cup whole wheat, 1/4 cup rye and 1/2 cup cake and pastry (I was out of all purpose). Only added 4 tsp sugar. These are so fluffy and tasted amazing. A note from me as I read the serving size and comments about how little it made I wondered what exactly that meant. My batch made six CD size pancakes so if you are looking for a substantial meal make a whole lot more.
