Here is another recipe from
The Pooh Cookbook. It’s really a cute book, one of the recipes is called Honey Milk Punch for a Friendly Day and the Recipe for Getting Thin is a page without a recipe, just a picture of Pooh Bear stuck in Rabbit's doorway anxiously asking Christopher Robin how long getting thin takes.
APRICOT HONEY BREAD AND MUFFINSPreheat oven to 350 degrees F. For bread or 375 degrees F. for muffins.
1 stick butter or margarine (1/4 pound at room temperature
1/4 cup honey
2/3 cup mashed canned apricots
1 large egg
1 Tablespoon canned apricot juice
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
Grease and lightly flour 1 loaf pan, 8” long, 2 1/2” deep and 4 1/2 “wide or 2 muffin tins (12 muffins, 2 5/8” diameter, medium).
Cream the butter with the honey and add the mashed apricot pulp.
Beat in the egg and the apricot juice.
Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder together. Fold into the butter mixture.
Fill the loaf pan or the muffin tins about half full.
Bake the loaf in a 350 degree F. preheated oven for 45 minutes to an hour, or until a cake tester, knife blade or toothpick stuck into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Bake the muffins for 30 to 35 minutes in a preheated 375 degree F. oven.
Serve hot with honey and butter or honey butter.
