I have a lot of all purpose flour on hand (buy one get one sale plus coupons) that I got stupid cheap and need some good bread, cookie, cake, muffins or dinner recipes. Anything sweet I make will be given to family and neighbors. I just need to use up some of this flour. It is taking up too much cabinet space.
Thanks in advance!

Flour the table and flatten the dough ( you may need to add more flour).
Bake at around 350 deg until golden on top.0 -

GLAZED LEMON POPPY SEED MUFFINS
(12 muffins)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup calorie reduced buttery spread (like Becel 63% less calories)
2/3 cup sweetener of choice
2 eggs, separated and room temperature
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
zest of 2 lemons (yellow part only)
1/2 cup fat free, plain Greek yogurt
juice of 1 lemon (2 tablespoons)
1/4 teaspoon pure lemon extract
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
nonstick spray
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray.
In the large bowl of an electric mixer (or a large bowl using a hand held mixer), cream butter and sweetener until light and fluffy. Add the 2 egg yolks one at a time.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, poppy seeds, and lemon zest.
Turn the mixer to low and add the dry ingredients, alternating twice with yogurt. Then add the lemon juice, lemon extract, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined; batter will be thick. Do not over mix.
In a small bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold into batter gently until smooth.
Spoon batter into muffin tins about 3/4 full. Bake in the center of your oven for 20 min, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Drizzle with glaze if desired (recipe follows).
Vanilla-Lemon Glaze
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons icing sugar
1/2-1 teaspoon almond milk
couple drops each of vanilla and lemon extract
Method:
Mix all ingredients together in a small cup or bowl. Drizzle onto cooled muffins with a fork.

I will definitely be making the shortbread cookies and muffins. I think I will take them to church Sunday for everyone to enjoy with their coffee before service.
Thank you both for your recipes!0 -
I don't have my recipes handy but homemade bread takes a TON of flour. A good 3 loaf recipe takes about 12-15 cups. It is so tasty, but I don't make it anymore because I can't stop eating it LOL There are some great basic recipes on the internet.0
