AMISH FRIENDSHIP CAKE

Always save 1 cup of starter for your next cakes, then start with day 2 of the starter instructions instead of having to start a new starter each time. You can also give some starter to friends, or sourdough starter can be used in place of the Friendship Starter.

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 17

½ teaspoon active dry yeast
1 fluid ounce warm water
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1 cup sourdough starter
⅔ cup vegetable oil
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
3 eggs
1 cup white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • To Make Starter: Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 1 tablespoon white sugar, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 cup of the flour, and 1 cup of the milk in a non-metal bowl and stir with a non-metal spoon until creamy. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place for two days to ferment. It will become bubbly and have a sour odor. Do not place in refrigerator. On second day, third day, and fourth day: stir. On fifth day, add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk, and stir. On sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth day: stir. On tenth day add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk. Reserve 1 cup starter; pour remaining starter, 1 cup each, into 3 containers to give away to friends if desired. Starter is enough for 8 loaves.
  • To Make Cakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 8 or 9 inch loaf pans.
  • Mix 1 cup of the starter, oil, baking powder, eggs, 1 cup of the sugar, 2 cups of the flour, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, vanilla, and chopped nuts. Stir in the baking soda just before pouring the batter into the prepared pans.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Bananas, dates, or raisins can be added for variety.

OATMEAL BRAN MUFFINS (AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD STARTER)



Oatmeal Bran Muffins (Amish Friendship Bread Starter) image

These are great low fat, healthy muffins that use Amish Friendship Bread Starter (yes, the gift that keeps on giving. . .I swear this stuff multiplies). Feel free to add nuts, raisins, cranberries, cinnamon, vanilla, etc. I make my starter with whole wheat flour, so I go ahead and use cake flour in this recipe to lighten it up a bit. I also use carrot baby food in place of the applesauce to healthify it a bit more :)

Time 45m

Yield 14 muffins, 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup amish starter
1 egg
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup applesauce (may sub pureed carrots or bananas)
1/2 cup natural bran
1/2 cup oats
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup splenda artificial sweetener
1 1/2 cups cake flour (may sub whole wheat flour but the muffins will be more tense)
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Beat together wet ingredients til just mixed.
  • Add remaining ingredients and stir until just mixed (batter should be a little lumpy).
  • Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full and bake 30 minutes at 375 degrees.

Tips:

  • Use Old-Fashioned Oats: For a chewier texture, use old-fashioned oats instead of quick-cooking or instant oats.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps the cookies hold their shape better and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Use a Cookie Scoop: A cookie scoop helps ensure that all the cookies are the same size and shape, which promotes even baking.
  • Bake Until the Edges are Golden Brown: The cookies are done baking when the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Let the Cookies Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying them. This helps them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These Amish Friendship Starter Oatmeal Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, sweet flavor, and hearty oats, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
