My life is getting completely crazy! It seems like I just go from one meeting to another and in between, it is work, work, work. Thank you Lord for work to do!
When people come to meet with us at our home office, we always offer coffee or a cold drink and we also try to include some little something to eat. Got to keep the Southern hospitality going, at all times!
So, this week is our “conference/dining” table. Set up for a meeting with coffee and cookies. This is the kind of meeting I had with Margaret Banks while we were discussing her upcoming radio show that I am co-hosting this coming Saturday on Mountain Talk 97. If you are out of the area, you can hear us discussing social media here.
Now, I need to get back to work!
Today’s Lagniappe: Easy Coffee Cake
Something to have along with the coffee, if you have time to cook (obviously, I used store-bought cookies which is fine, but if I have time, I love to cook something to have for meetings!).
* 2 cups sifted flour, sifted before measuring
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 6 tablespoons butter
* 1 egg, beaten
* 1/2 cup milk
* 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter
Topping
* 1 tablespoon flour
* 1/4 cup sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Into a mixing bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut butter into the dry ingredients with a fork or pastry blender. In a separate bowl combine egg with milk; add to flour mixture. Stir until mixture is well blended and smooth. Spoon into a greased and floured 9-inch layer pan. Spread dough evenly. Brush top of dough with melted butter.
Combine sugar, flour, and cinnamon; sift over the top of the cake, spreading with a fork to cover dough evenly. Bake at 400° for 25 to 30 minutes. Cut coffee cake in wedges; serve warm from the pan.
