Apple Pancakes

3 e
1/2 c flour
1/2 c milk
4 T butter or margarine
2 cored, peeled, sliced apples (baking apples are best)
1/2 c melted butter
1/4 c sugar and 1 T cinnamon

Mix together eggs, flour and milk.  Saute the sliced apples until soft in 4 T butter.  Pour egg mixture over top.  Bake in oven for 10 minutes at 500 F.  Take out and pour 1/4 c of melted butter over the top and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon mixture.  Bake 5 minutes more and serve.  It is good covered with maple syrup and served with ice cream.

Sour Cream Twister Rolls

1 c sour cream
2 T shortening
3 T sugar
1 t salt
1 beaten egg
1 T yeast
3 c flour

Dissolve yeast in 1/4 c warm water.  Bring sour cream to a boil and remove from heat.  Stir in the shortening, sugar, soda and salt.  Cool to lukewarm and add softened yeast and beaten egg.   Add flour and knead.  Cover and let stand for 30 minutes.  Roll out and spread butter on half of the dough, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.  Pull the other half of the dough over the filling.  Press lightly and cut into rectangular pieces with kitchen shears.  Twist in the center and place on a baking sheet.  Let rise for 1 hour and bake at 375 F for 10 to 15 minutes.  Glaze with powdered sugar mixed very thin with fruit juice if desired as soon as they come out of the oven.

Pizza Dough

1 c milk
1 T yeast
3 1/2 c flour
2 T shortening (Dixie like butter-flavored Crisco)
1/4 c warm water
1 t salt
1 egg, beaten

Put the milk in a glass bowl and microwave for 4 minutes.  Then add the shortening and salt.  Let cool until fairly warm.  In another cup add the water and yeast.  After the milk mixture has cooled add 1/2 of the flour, the beaten egg and the yeast.  Let sit a minute.  Then add the rest of the flour and mix.  Roll out on the Pam-sprayed, flour spinkled counter.  If you like cornmeal on your crust, sprinkle some on your baking pan.  Separate the dough into 2 pieces and roll them out to fit 2 round pizza pans or 2 cookie sheets (not quite full).  Let it sit a little, put on the sauce and then your toppings.  Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes.
