Cinnamon Raisin English muffins

CINNAMON RAISIN ENGLISH MUFFINS🍂

¾ cup warm water

2¼ tsp dry active yeast

¾ cup warm whole milk

3 tbsp melted butter

3 cups all purpose flour

½ tsp salt

3 tbsp brown sugar divided

1 tbsp cinnamon

1 cup raisins

In a large mixing bowl, combine ¾ cup warm water, 2 ¼ tsp yeast & 1 tbsp of the brown sugar. Let stand for about 5 mins until foamy before adding all other ingredients — ¾ cup warm milk, 3 tbsp melted butter, 3 cups all purpose flour, ½ tsp salt, remaining 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp cinnamon and 1 cup raisins. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.

Transfer dough onto a floured surface and gently work with your hands to bring the dough together and form a dough ball — DO NOT KNEAD — add more flour as needed if too sticky or 1 tbsp warm water at a time if too crumbly and dry. Transfer dough to the same large mixing bowl, lightly oiled. Cover with plastic wrap & let sit in a warm area for about 1 hr, until double in size.

Divide dough into 8-9 equal pieces. Lightly flour the sections and your hands as you fold and pinch into a secure ball. Arrange dough pieces on a lined baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap to let rise another 30 mins.

Place a lightly greased cast iron skillet over medium heat. Dip each side of the dough ball into a bowl of corn meal before pan frying for 1-2 minutes each side, until a golden brown crust forms.

Bake at 350 F for 10 – 15 minutes to ensure they are cooked all the way through

Enjoy! xo Hailey 🤎

Jonathan's cookies...

A co-worker brought some amazing cookies to work today, here's the recipe.

He says "I kind of followed one and I kind of made it up on my own, but it went something like this:

I creamed one stick of butter and a cup of brown sugar, then added a heaping spoonful of almond butter and an egg or two.

In a separate container, I mixed a half-cup of white flour, a half-cup of whole wheat flour, a pinch or two of salt, a rounded half-teaspoon of baking soda and a pinch or two each of cinnamon, ground ginger and cayenne.

Then I mixed the butter mixture with the flour mixture, added a half-cup or so of oats, some pecans and some chocolate chunks.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 8 minutes per sheet. I think that’s it. Oh yeah, I added some vanilla extract along the way, but we were almost out, so I don’t even know if you can taste it anyway."

They tasted amazing!

Fruit Salsa + Cinnamon Chips



Stole this one from Natalie! Thanks Nat! Looks tasty!

Fruit Salsa

2 apples (1 red, 1 green - or whatever, I use what I have)
1 cup chopped strawberries
1 cup chopped kiwi (again, if I forget to buy kiwi, I use twice as many strawberries, and it's just as yummy)
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. raspberry (or strawberry...or whatever) jam

Mix together and serve with cinnamon chips...


Cinnamon Chips

flour tortillas (I use freshly made - not by me, my grocery store makes them fresh in-store)
cinnamon sugar

Spray tortillas with water or cooking spray and sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar mixture. Cut into triangles with a pizza cutter and bake at 475 for 5-7 minutes. They harden as they cool.
