FANNIE FARMER GRIDDLECAKES
This recipe comes from an old old Fanny Farmer cookbook that I bought at a yard sale. An inscription inside was dated Dec. 25, 1945. These pancakes, or griddlecakes if you will, are the bomb and the only recipe I will use. Do give it a try...if you like a pancake that has lots of body then you won't be dissapointed.

Steps:
- Mix together the dry ingredients. Add the beaten egg and melted butter and stir vigorously, adding more milk, if necesary, to make the batter just thin enough to pour. Drop by spoonfuls or pour from pitcher onto heated and greased griddle or frying pan using medium heat. When full of bubbles and the underside is browned, turn and brown the other side. Serve with maple syrup and additional butter.

BASIC MUFFINS
What could be nicer than warm classic but basic muffins in a napkin on the morning breakfast table? And they are so quick and easy to make, particularly since the ingredients are only lightly mixed, not beaten smooth.

FANNIE FARMER BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
This recipe is from the 1959 Fannie Farmer Boston Cooking School Cookbook. For the tenderest muffins, use pastry flour and avoid over-beating [fold nuts, berries, fruits in with spatula till all are gently mixed in. BATTER SHOULD NOT BE SMOOTH! Choose between 2 cups of pastry flour OR 1-7/8 Cups of all-purpose flour. This recipe can be altered by the leaving out the berries, or substituting as follows: Using 1/4 cup bacon fat instead of butter, plus 3 Tablespoons crumbled cooked bacon; Using huckleberries instead of blueberries; Add 1/2 cup sliced pitted dates or 1/4 cup raisins; Add 3/4 cup candied orange peel, chopped fine; Add to the milk 3/4 cup peaches, peeled and diced; Use 1/4 cup sugar plus 1/2 cup chopped pecans [then before baking muffins top with sugar/cinnamon and more nuts]; Substitute 3/4 cup coarse whole-wheat flour for 1 cup of the flour, Do not sift it the whole-wheat; and last variation is: Spread in a buttered 8 or 9 inch square tin [sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, bake @ 375* about 25 minutes, cut in squares].

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven for 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 2. Sift into a mixing bowl all dry ingredients (reserving 1/4 cup flour for add in berries). DO NOT USE both pastry and all-purpose flour. Use one or the other.

- 4. Pour wet mixture over the flour mixture. Stir only enough to dampen the flour.
- 5. Mix 1/4 cup of flour with berries, add 1/2 cup sugar.
- 6. Gently fold berries into batter.
- 7. Spoon into buttered muffin tins (or paper lined tins), having the tins about two-thirds full.
- 8. Bake at 400 degrees fahrenheit for 15 minutes.
- Makes 12.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries. Fresh blueberries are ideal, but frozen blueberries can also be used. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before adding them to the muffin batter.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help the muffins to rise and create a crispy crust.
- Let the muffins cool before eating them. This will allow the flavors to meld and the muffins to set.
