GRANDPA'S CINNAMON BUNS (Kenneth again, but he didn't start making these until long after he was a Grandpa. This is in his own words.) Mix together: 2 packages dry yeast 3/4 cup warm water, 110-120 degrees 3/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup milk, scalded and cooled 1 teaspoon salt if desired (we like it without salt) 2 eggs 3/4 cup oil Add 4 to 5 cups flour Roll out in flour (About 8-10 cups flour, total) Knead until rubbery I usually use two bowls for the dough to rise in Oil bowl lightly, turn dough so top will have oil on it. Set to rise in warm place until dough is doubled, about 1 and 1/2 hours. Roll out dough in thin sheet on kneading board. Roll to about 10 x 20 rectangle, cover with melted butter or margarine (use 1 and 1/2 cups stick margarine) Cover with sugar and cinnamon as desired Roll into tight roll, cut about one inch Put in oiled pan to rise again, about 45 minutes Bake in 350 degree oven 30 to 40 minutes, until lightly browned

GRANDPA'S PANCAKES (Another of Kenneth's - Daddy's, Grandpa's, Pop's - specialties. This was put into words for the children and grandchildren by his wife Rozellah - Mama, Granny, Ganna.) 2 cups sifted all purpose flour 1/2 cup sugar 4 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 eggs 2 cups milk 1/2 stick margarine Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into large bowl Beat eggs in medium size bowl Mix in milk and melted margarine Stir into dry ingredients, just until blended Ladle 1/2 cup batter onto hot griddle Bake 3 to 4 minutes or until bubble appear on top Turn and bake 2 or 3 minutes longer Serve hot with butter (margarine) and syrup NOTE: Daddy always made sugar syrup to go with his pancakes. He showed me how to do it but, like you, dear descendants, I find it entirely too easy to pick up a bottle of syrup at the grocery store. Homemade sugar syrup, in case anyone is interested, is simply sugar and water, boiled.
