Monkey Bread ...p85

You can see by the photo, this bread wasn't monkeying around.  It rose beautifully and the texture was amazing.  I don't know if it was the mashed potatoes, but I haven't had a better monkey bread before.  Since I didn't have leftover mashed potatoes, I actually used *gasp* boxed! Oh, please don't let that be the secret!

Usually, I think of monkey bread as taking canned biscuits, pinching off pieces and rolling them in sugar and cinnamon.  Or perhaps making a brown sugar syrup.  Since the recipe didn't include directions for doing either - leaving us a little short after "dip into melted butter" - I just did my own doctoring.  I also added a lot of walnuts between the layers - delicious!

Kimber, are instructions for sweetening this missing?  Let us know - add a comment!

Make this for a fancy breakfast - everyone will love it.

Banana Nut Bread ...p85

A rich, delicious banana bread.  I love it with walnuts or pecans, preferring the former.  I made four loaves this time and added ripe figs from our tree to one loaf - love it.

 

Note in your cookbook this correction:  2 stiffly beaten egg yolks, should be whites
