Okay, so everyone knows that I have had a goal to become more "domestic" now that I am in my own place, etc. So I pretty much forced my good friend Becky to come over and teach me how to make something from scratch. She is an amazing baker and a wonderfully patient teacher.
A tip I learned from Becky -- put a little bit of Pam spray in the measuring cup before the shortening so it slides out easily.
My helper. Another tip Becky gave me was to use bread flour instead of all purpose flour.
She also said to tap on the bread. If it makes a hollow sound it is done.
The teacher and the student.
The best part.
Look at how yummy. Inside contains the "perfect swirl" of cinnamon and raisens.
So delicious....
Thanks again Becky!

I hope it turned out super yummy. It sure looks it! Oh, and the pam/shortening trick also works for corn syrup.
That looks quite tasty. It also works to soak the measuring cup in super hot water right before measuring out shortening, corn syrup and peanut butter.
What does your friend recommend - KitchenAid or Bosch mixers?
AWESOME! Love the kitchen and the cute little helper!
