Breakfast Muffins

2 cups self rising flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 egg, well beaten
3 tbsp melted shortening

Sift together flour, sugar, salt into mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, stir milk into well beaten egg and add melted shortening. Pour liquids into dry mix and stir quickly, until ingredients are just blended and batter is still rough looking. Don't over stir. Fill well greased muffin pan cups 2/3 full. Cook in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.

This is a good basic muffin recipe. These are extra yummy with a little cinnamon and chopped pecans added to the batter.

Quick Apple Pie

Mrs. Harris' Quick Apple Pie recipe is a deep dish pie with no base crust but a crusty top. Mrs. Harris was known more for sewing than her cooking, but she performed extremely well in both arenas.

In a pie plate or pan sprinkle 5 cups sliced apples with 1/2 cup of sugar and a small amount of spice (she didn't say which spice, but with apples I would say cinnamon, nutmeg or allspice) and 3/4 cup of water.

Top with a crust of 3/4 cup of flour, 3/4 cup of sugar and 2/3 stick of butter all of which has been mashed together until it has a consistency of corn meal.

Bake in a slow oven (around 325 degrees) until crust is golden brown.

This recipe is right up my alley as I don't enjoy pie crust but love the crust topping. Quick and easy!
