Wow, what a memory!<BR/><BR/>As for the eggs, they are usually added one at a time after the creaming (fat+sugar) process and before alternately adding the dry and wet ingredients. So with that, no they aren't considered wet ingredients. With quick breads (like Amish bread) though it's a different story, they're more like a muffin than a cake (thought they taste similar)and follow different rules.<BR/><BR/>Does this answer your question?Scribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178711182424809035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-38383750783026352552008-01-18T16:12:00.000-09:002008-01-18T16:12:00.000-09:00I'm confused (not unusual).

In "Tips for Making a Cake" it says to "mix the fat and the sugar together thoroughly, THEN it says mix all the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients separately and add alternate between dry and wet ingredients. Excuse me but I thought eggs are a wet ingredient and that sugar is a dry ingredient.

The cakes turned out delicious, moist, perfect. It was a lot of work, though and a whole lot of flour and sugar. I had taken 2 starter bags from my friend (not knowing) mushing both daily but when I realized the difficult process even coming down to baking and all the extra ingredients I decided to freeze the other one. The work was worth it.

I accidentally waited a day and a half to add the flour, sugar and milk on the 6th day. Is this ok? When it says to "mush" I tend to mush it in the bag passing by it several times a day. Is this ok? I've added 1 c flour, sugar and milk to 2 starters (6th day). Can I freeze one now before ending the whole process with two? I'd like ideas of additional ingredients.Tanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03199429919217919992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-71357434864663210012007-12-13T17:14:00.000-09:002007-12-13T17:14:00.000-09:00my mom once got a starter and bread and it was soo...my mom once got a starter and bread and it was sooo good but we never knew the recipe for the starter.... so I looked it up but haven't yet tried any of the recipes I found.

That is why it is friendship bread.<BR/><BR/>But for those of you who are not good at keeping up with things, you can actually freeze the batter! Thaw and start from there later. Because if you go on vacation, your starter has to go with you or die. Or you can get a sitter for it. Or just pop it in the freezer.Qtpies7https://www.blogger.com/profile/04612364762900912663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-40471981116937481672007-12-11T08:38:00.000-09:002007-12-11T08:38:00.000-09:00I made it once and you are right it was delicious!...I made it once and you are right it was delicious!<BR/>Thanks for reminding me.<BR/>I used to live in PA very near to the Amish.

I love Amish Friendship bread.<BR/><BR/>We live just miles from Amish country - in fact, just miles from the world's largest Amish community. We have the chance to interact with them quite a bit. We shop a lot there. And the men we have work on our house when something needs fixed are Amish. They're pretty friendly people. We'll even see them at our local stores, carrying cell phones and using their credit cards. Although, they aren't old order Amish (they <I>really</I> keep to themselves). In fact, the old order Amish in our area don't allow the women to wear shoes! There's nothing like driving past a big old Amish house and seeing a woman out hanging laundry in the snow, with no shoes on!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12577984703515849459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-36683248454263101282007-12-10T18:10:00.000-09:002007-12-10T18:10:00.000-09:00This is some tasty, troublesome stuff.
