Merry Little Christmas Party Day 4

 Welcome to Day 4! 

I hope you are all having a Holly Jolly Time! 


Only 2 Days left to PARTY! 


The Winner of Day 3 is... LANA RICHEY

Congratulations! Please email us your mailing address ASAP! 


We have some festive and merry deals that we are so excited to share with you today! 

Our Recipe today is a family favorite, and a special Christmas Tradition here at the Cottonwood House.


Every Christmas Morning our 8 children, (and now their children!) line up Youngest to Oldest, and one by one walk into the living room to see what Santa has brought them! Each squeal makes our kids, (that are patiently waiting their turn) more and more anxious to see what their siblings received, and to see what is waiting for them! 

As wrapping paper is thrown every which way, the aroma of Christmas Breakfast Cake fills our home! Our children always count down the minutes until this delicious cake is done baking. 

Each Child opens their presents individually, to make the joy and excitement of Christmas morning last just a little longer! 

Finally when the presents are unwrapped, the colorful wrapping paper and shiny bows are thrown away, (and my husband and I are ready for a nap!) its time for breakfast! 


So without Further Ado... 



Christmas Breakfast Cake



3 Cups Flour

2 TBS Baking Powder

1 Cup Sugar 

A Pinch of Salt 

1 Cup Shortening 

1/3 Cups Milk 

2 Eggs


Mix together Flour, Baking Powder, Sugar, and Salt.

Add Milk and Eggs. 

Blend Well. 

Pour into GREASED 9"X11" Pan.


8 TBS Flour 

12 TBS Sugar 

6 TBS Butter 

1 TSP Cinnamon 

1/2 Cups Brown Sugar

Combine together and mix well. Sprinkle on top of batter.


Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes, or until center is done. 


ENJOY!
