Baking Cookbook

The pie crust in here are good and dairy free. My favorite recipe is the pie crust in which I make fruits pies. The Butterhorns rolls (a lot like crescent rolls) are my family’s favorite recipe. It has a lot of milk in it (1 cup). No one likes the shoo-fly “cake” due to mass amount of molasses which takes over the whole pie. This book includes cookies and bars, cakes, pies and other pastries, yeast bread, and quick breads. Recommend for people that loves to bake.
