I baked two loaves of banana bread for my friends today.

I had a small batch of Hot Cross Buns come out of the oven Sunday morning. They looked beautiful but were rather soft inside. Two were destroyed when my father moved them to a plastic container before they cooled down. He also objected to the proper cross on top saying they didn't need more sugar. The good news is that they were tasty.

I baked lemon sugar cookies for the poker ♦️ game tomorrow night.

I am feeling better after my brush with whatever the heck I had Monday night into Wednesday. Thankfully, it was more annoying than debilitating. Other than major chills on Monday night and runny nose, itchy eyes, and general tiredness, I was mostly focused on not infecting my husband.

I was able to bake today, and I made the most of it. I baked Whole Wheat Apple Muffins with Penzey's Cinnamon Sugar sprinkled on top. I had one for lunch with a single-egg omelet.

I also tried the King Arthur Lemon Crinkle Cookies again with my substitution of white whole wheat flour, an increase of avocado oil from 4 to 5 Tbs. and an increase of Lemon juice from 3 to 4 Tbs. and addition of 2 Tbs. Bob's Red Mill milk powder. I got 16 rather than 22 cookies. I plan to let them rest until tomorrow so that the flavor can infuse.

Two loaves of Whole Wheat Buttermilk Grape Nuts Bread is my final bake on Monday. It is one of Scott's favorite breads. I have been working on making it more whole grain and now use white whole wheat flour so that the malt flavor does not get eclipsed. It was chilly in the house, so the rising times were longer than usual.

Joan, I can almost taste those cookies!

BA, I'm glad you're feeling better.

I baked again today, Georgia Cornbread Cake for a reunion I'm going to tomorrow.No cornmeal in them they're a cross between pecan pie bar and blondies.Thanks Len , lemon cookies are thin and crispy.

I did another batch of Hot Cross Buns -- same recipe but this time they were allowed to cool in peace and I didn't lose any. Delicious and soft. I think I am going to try a different recipe with less butter and maybe less sugar next time.

[BakerAunt]

Thanks, Len and Joan. I'm happily recovered.

I made the dough for Whole Wheat Sourdough Cheese Crackers on Friday. We are going through this last batch quickly, so I want to be ready to bake more next week.

Your Hot Cross Buns have made me start to think about baking some soon, Skeptic!

Ah, yes, Joan. I think that I printed off the recipe from a link you posted for the Georgia Cornbread, although I have not baked it.
