In a world of prepackaged EVERYTHING, it’s hard to believe that there is still a group of people willing to wait ten days for great bread. I am one of those people.
Amish Friendship Bread is a true starter bread with a simple technique that allows you to make your very own delicious bread and then share the starter with practically everyone you know.
The sugary-sweet batter is similar to coffee cake and I simply couldn’t resist swapping out the loaf pan for a muffin pan. They came out exactly like Drake’s Coffee Cakes and are now stacked in our freezer for on-the-go breakfast treats! I did make one more twist on the recipe that made these cakes extra-irresistible and I suggest you do the same if you’re a Drake’s fan. Ditch the cinnamon-sugar coating the recipe calls for and sprinkle this crumb mixture on your muffins (or loaves) right before baking:
Jill’s Gramma’s Crumb Topping: 1/4 cup soft butter, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, and a LOT of cinnamon. Mix all 4 ingredients with a fork until combined.
So … If you know someone with a starter, you’re in luck. And if you don’t, today is your lucky day. My kitchen counter is full of starters and Phil can’t eat much more friendship bread! Post a comment below or email me and I’ll find a way to get you your very own Amish Friendship Bread starter.
