Colonial Kids Recipes

Here are some of the recipes that we made on Monday night from the book Colonial Kids.

Cornbread
Ingredients
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 425 F. Mix the cornmeal, flour, and salt in the bowl. Stir in the milk, egg, and oil. Beat until it's a smooth batter. Pour into the greased pan. Bake at 425 F for 15 minutes. Cut into pieces and eat it while it's warm with butter!


Baked Apples
Ingredients
4 large apples
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
butter or margarine
3/4 cup hot water

Preheat oven to 375 F. Wash the apples and cut out the core. Use a knife and spoon to scoop out the center, or better yet, use a vegetable paring tool. (I used an apple corer.) Don't cut through the bottom of the apple. Trim the peel away around the top. Spoon brown sugar into the center hole of each apple. Sprinkle cinnamon in the centers, too. Put a thin slice of butter on top of each apple's center. PUt the apples in the baking pan and pour the hot water in the bottom of the pan. Bake for 1 hour. (Small apples may not take as long to cook.) Apples are done when an inserted knife goes in smoothly. I served our with some caramel sauce on the top...would be great with icecream too!
