Spring is in the air....

The sun is shining. The wind is blowing softly. The windows are open and the fresh air fills my house. Ahh! Spring is here! I really didn't think it was ever going to get here! I have been waking early every day since I got home from work. Hard to sleep in past 7 a.m. when your body is so use to waking at 4:30 a.m.. Staying awake past 11 p.m. is a battle as well! Oh well! So much more productive in the morning anyhow.
 
This morning I made my hunnie breakfast before he left for work, had some tea and started on a batch of bread. I made a pot of Roasted Red Pepper and Sweet Potato Soup and stuffing for my Turkey I am cooking for supper. I then set out looking for something to make for dessert for supper. I found a bag of PC Mixed Berries in my freezer and on the back was a great simple recipe for Berry Buckle. Perfect!
 
Berry Buckle

 
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup melted butter
2/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
 
3 cups mixed frozen berries
1/4 cup sugar
 
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 8 x 8 glass baking dish.
Mix all dry ingredients in one bowl. Mix wet in another.
Stir the two together and pour in prepared pan.
Toss berries with sugar.
Sprinkle the berries evening over the cake mixture.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes until golden. Do not over bake!
Cool for 20 minutes and serve with Vanilla Ice cream! :)



So here it sits, ready to go! Turkey is in the oven and smelling lovely, the soup was a huge hit at lunch time and now I'm relaxing till my house fills with family ready to dig in to a nice big supper! The simple things!
