Western Sourdough Flapjacks  
From: Rita Hestand  
In the West , sourdough was a common ingredient in almost any chuck wagon. Today  
there are a lot of modern ways to make that same great taste.

2
cup all purpose flour  
tsp. baking powder  
tsp. brown sugar  
tsp. white sugar  
eggs  
tbsp. butter (real butter preferred)  
/2 cup milk  
tsp. vinegar  
Preheat skillet.  
Pour vinegar in the milk and let it set a few minutes (mixture will be lumpy).  
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients.  
Use a big plastic dipper and dip 3/4 spoonful of flapjack mix into hot skillet. Turn heat to  
just below medium. Cook until golden brown. Add syrup and butter.  
Just like on the trail and not half the trouble.  
About the Author: Cowboys used to carry sourdough mix along the trail to make their  
biscuits with. Rita found that the secret to making it sour is vinegar mixed in the sweet  
milk. She also piddles with sourdough breads from time to time. She's writing her first  
western. She had to write one, if only in tribute to John Wayne.

Wheat-free Honey and Poppy Seed Bread  
From: ElizabethBennefeld  
Because I'm allergic to wheat, oats, and rye, I went without bread products for many  
years. In 1999, my sister-in-law Diane and her family gave us a bread maker for  
Christmas, and since then I've been having fun developing my own recipes.
