3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
1 cup whole bran cereal
1 each large egg
1/3 cup milk
2/3 cup applesauce
1/4 cup butter, melted
Directions
Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and bran cereal.
In another bowl beat egg well and then add milk, applesauce, and
melted butter. Mix the egg mixture and flour mixture just until
they are well blended. Divide the batter among 12 greased muffin
tin cups. Each cup should be about 2/3 full. Bake at 400 degrees
F for about 20 minutes. You can test to see if the muffins are
done by sticking a toothpick into the center of them. If the
toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done. Otherwise, let
them bake for another 5 minutes and try again.

The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced far back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius wrote some documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef tells us how the Romans made use of many different spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example thyme, fennel and parsley. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an outbreak in books on cookery, most of which still exist in academic collections. When we get to the 1900s, cook books are greatly in demand due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and being a little richer. The arrival of TV gave us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
