Coconut Bread

4 eggs

2 cups sugar

1 cup oil

mix well

add 1 teaspoon coconut flavoring

3 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda mixed in flour

1 cup butter milk ( or just milk with little vinegar added)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup coconut

Add all ingredients to mixing bowl. Mix till all combined. Grease and flour 2 bread pans. Pour batter into pans.

Bake 350 for 50-60 minutes (Becky said you can top with foil last 30 minutes to keep from getting too brown, but I haven’t found that to be a problem)

Glaze (heat but do not boil, just until all dissolves)

1 1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup water

3 Tablespoons margarine

2 teaspoons coconut flavoring

Can top with toasted coconut

I think it is overall easier to put glaze on when in bread pans then remove when 100% cool.  but will need to loosen from pan sides, etc.

Crepes – Grandma Dennis’

1 cup flour

2 eggs

1/2 cup water (will need more water if not using crepe maker pan to get them to spread out on fry pan)

1/4 tsp salt

2 TBS melted butter

Place ingredients in blender in order.  Mix 30 seconds.  Stop, stir down sides.  Mix 30-60 seconds until smooth. I have a ninja so I put in the water first then the other ingredients so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the blender.

Makes 16 crepes

This is for use with the crepe maker you dip into the batter. If pouring into a pan you need to thin it out quite a lot.
