Cinnamon Roll Bread

1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans, toasted (I didn't use)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/3 cup cooking oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease/flour/spray the bottom and sides of a 9″x5″x3″ loaf pan.Combine 1/3 cup of sugar, pecans (if using), and cinnamon. Set aside.
Combine 1 cup of sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl or mixer bowl. In a separate bowl, beat egg. Then, stir in milk and oil (I put these two together in a measuring cup). Make a well in the flour mixture (I didn't do this), and add the egg mixture. Stir just until mixed. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the batter into loaf pan. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon mixture. Repeat. With a wide rubber scraper or spatula, swirl mixtures together with a down and up circular motion.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until done. Cool in pan for about 10 minutes. Then, cool completely on a wire rack.

Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar

Bacon Cheddar Scones

Ingredients:
For the scones:
3 cups bisquick
1 tsp. salt
1-2 tsp. ground black pepper (depending on your preference)
8 tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1½ cups grated cheddar cheese
4 green onions, thinly slices
10 slices bacon, cooked and chopped or crumbled into small pieces
1 cup milk (plus up to ½ cup extra, if needed)
For the egg wash:
1 large egg
2 tbsp. water
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400˚ F.  In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the bisquick, salt and black pepper; mix briefly to combine.  Add the cubes of butter and mix on low speed until the mixture is crumbly and the butter pieces are about the size of small peas.  (Alternatively, this can be done in a regular mixing bowl, using a pastry blender or two knives to cut the butter into the dry ingredients.)  Add in the grated cheese and mix just until incorporated.
Mix in the green onions, bacon, and 1 cup of the milk into the flour-butter mixture.  Stir by hand just until all the ingredients are incorporated.  If the dough is too dry to come together, mix in the remaining milk a tablespoon or two at a time until the dough can be formed into a ball.  Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat the dough into an 8-inch disk.  Slice the dough into 8 to 10 wedges.
In a small bowl combine the egg and water and whisk together.  Brush each wedge lightly with the egg wash.  Transfer the scones to an ungreased baking sheet.  Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Easy Made Doughnuts

Instructions

1. Pour oil into skillet to the depth of a little less than 1/2 an inch and heat on medium to medium high for about five minutes. In a bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar.

Repeat until all dough is cooked, including doughnut holes.
3. Press both sides of each doughnut into cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve warm.

Oatmeal Muffins

I got this recipe from my next-door neighbor. These muffins are so, so tasty and easy! This batter is best if made the night before, because it gives the oats a chance to break down a bit. Also, the batter keeps for weeks in the fridge so you can just bake off the muffins in the morning on your way out the door.

1 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 oil
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder

Mix oats, buttermilk, egg, sugar and oil. Allow to sit for 30 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate overnight. When ready to bake, grease muffin tins (or you can use paper liners) and fill 3/4 way full. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 - 18 minutes. Muffins will be lightly golden on top. Makes 12 muffins.

Creme Brulee French Toast

1/2 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 loaf Texas toast bread (extra think slices)
5 eggs
1 1/2 cups half and half cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

In small saucepan melt butter brown sugar, and corn syrup over medium heat until smooth, stirring occassionally. Pour mixture onto large greaded jelly roll pan. Spread to cover surface. Place 12 slices Texas toast bread in a single layer to cover pan. Mix together eggs, cream, salt, and vanilla. Spoon mixture over each piece of bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight (I didn't do this and it was still really good). Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Romove from pan and serve. If not serving immediately, turn each slice of bread over (this will prevent bread from sticking to bottom of pan). Serve with syrup.
