Emily Dickinson had a tendency to take notes on whatever was around her. She jotted down scraps of ideas for poems on ripped envelopes, baking chocolate wrappers, and even on the back of her own recipes.
On the other side of The Things that never can come back, are several is this recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup cocoanut
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoonful soda
1 teaspoonful cream of tartar
1 cup cocoanut
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoonful soda
1 teaspoonful cream of tartar
Steps:
1) Discover the differences between baking soda and baking powder, then preheat the oven to 325 degrees
2) Soak coconut flakes
3) Sift together flour and baking POWDER (or baking soda mixed with cream of tartar)
4) Cream together the sugar and butter. Be confused as to what that means, so substitute it for "mash butter and sugar together with forks"
5) Add eggs and milk, mix together
6) Add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together
7) Fold in the shredded coconut
8) Put in pan and bake for 50-60 minutes
9) Take pictures to show off to the internet that you can bake
10) Eat
The result: I am eating this for breakfast for the rest of my life.
much love,
