I thought it was "all the little babies love short'nin', short'nin, all the little babies love short'nin bread."

What is it, anyway


here is an old recipe I found



1 3/4 cup flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 to 2 Tablespoons sugar
1 cup milk
1 to 2 eggs
2 to 4 Tablespoons short

Sift dry ingredients, add milk eggs and short, beaten together.
Stir only enough to blend, ingredients. Bake in moderate oven 25 minutes.

This recipe came out of a cookbook that belonged to my great great granny when she was young... She got it with a bag of Town Crier Flour.

A moderate oven... is 350. If you use medium or large eggs you need 2... if you use extra large eggs just the 1. The sugar is a matter of taste... LOL.

I love old recipes. Thanks for sharing.
