Apropos of nothing, my husband and I are now having an argument as to how to pronounce the word ‘wash’.
He’s from PA, and always used to put an ‘R’ in it.
(But he doesn’t anymore, because he’s eradicated it from his ‘way of speaking’, after meeting me :-)
I’m sure there are people who can tell you about ‘blu-ray’ stuff (???)
I take your basic white cake recipe w/ 2 C flour and turn it into a coffee cake.
Just need to take some butter, sugar or brown sugar, a little molasses and fair amount of cinnamon, maybe a little nutmeg, get it heated nicely, then add flour until it looks nice an crummy.
Put your batter in your pan, sprinkle around 1/2 the crumbs.
Just put apple and/or pear slices on top.
Then sprinkle the rest of the crumbs. Bake normally.
It’s SO nice to have coffee cake that you know is made from normal ingredients instead of industrial cr@p.
I thought “warsh” was an Iowa thing. We all used to giggle when our 4th grade teacher told us to warsh our hands.
To go way off topic, has anyone tried the GAPS diet? I was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and think I should try it to heal my gut, but I find pleasure in good food. Plus, I’ll still be baking bread & using dairy for my family-so hard to make & serve it without tasting any.
Where in PA? I'm from the Philly area and never heard it pronounced like that.
If I think about it, I say wash. If I’m not paying attention I revert to warsh. Grew up in Hillbilly country. LOL.
