    Whole Wheat Batter Bread

    Published: Oct 30, 2014 · Updated: Jul 20, 2017 by Kevin Williams | Leave a Comment

    Elizabeth Coblentz was the original Amish Cook columnist.  She and I worked on three cookbooks together, one was our 1992 booklet:  An Amish Christmas.   The other was 1993's Original Amish Cook Cookbook and, finally, in 2002 just before she passed away, we completed The Amish Cook: Recipes  & Recollections.  But there had been another book we were working on together sometime in the late 1990s.  I still have pieces of it in cartons in my basement.

    Over the days and weeks ahead I'll share some of the unpublished recipes with Plus members.  Most of these recipes are old, handedbatterbread1 down through the family.  They are all handwritten.   In addition to recipes, I do have more neat stuff coming up for Plus subscribers in November....visits to more Amish and Brethren kitchens, more recipes, and other surprises, so stay tuned!:)   This is a photo of the handwritten original for this recipe from Elizabeth Coblentz.

    Hi There, I'm Kevin!

    Welcome to Amish365, where I share my knowledge of Amish cooking and culture! I’ve spent almost three decades exploring Amish settlements and kitchens from Maine to Montana and almost everywhere in between. I’ll occasionally throw in stories of my travels, journalism adventures (I’m a Pulitzer prize-nominated journalist), fascination with grocery stores and Kmarts, and much more!
