With our new baby due so soon I have been really tired and my back has been aching so I haven't felt much like cooking. This morning was no exception. Then I remembered a quick recipe I knew my girls would enjoy. My grandmother used to make this bread for me when I was growing up. These are kind of like fried biscuits. They are really soft inside and go wonderfully with butter and jam or honey. They were such a hit today and I didn't even get an opportunity to take a picture :0)
Skillet Bread
2 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 c. milk
1 c. water
Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until well combined. Heat 3 Tbsp. oil or butter in a skillet over medium - medium high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls into the skillet. As soon as bread begins to set enough that you are able, turn them with a spatula and press down on them to flatten a bit. Lower the heat and cover the skillet and allow them to steam to cook the inside. Keep a close eye on these, the outsides will burn easily!

Awesome recipe! I made it and IT ACTUALLY CAME OUT FINE! I dumped all of it into the skillet though, and used whole-wheat flour. Healthy & hearty!
I was searching for a recipe reminiscent of bread my mom used to make. I found it in these. I have made it several time using whole wheat flour and we really like them. Today I made it with half whole wheat half all purpose and added a tablespoon of brown sugar and 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries. Yummy! It was a twist on blueberry muffins(much easier.)
Chef Michele, I love this recipe!! I first made it with whole-wheat flour, and like the commenter above, dumped it ALL into a pan and covered it with a lid to steam cook it. The WW flour made it so hearty, I could only eat a few bites at a time.
I find if I make it with white flour I end up eating more of it to feel full (empty calories, I suppose).
