These can be made in any shape you like.
Cookie
Frosting
In a large bowl, mix molasses, sugar, shortening, and hot water. Stir to combine thoroughly; shortening does not need to melt completely.
In a separate bowl, mix baking soda, ginger, and cinnamon with 2 cups of the plain Sunflour. Add to liquids, stirring to blend well. Gradually add enough of the additional flour to make a dough stiff enough to roll. You may need up to an extra ¼ cup of flour to make the dough stiff enough. Chill the dough 1-2 hours or overnight before baking.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease baking sheets. Roll out dough to about 1/8 inch thick and cut into shapes with your favorite cookie cutter. Bake 9-11 minutes, or until done.
Cool completely. Frost if desired with decorative frosting.
To make frosting listed above, beat egg whites until frothy, then beat in confectioners sugar and vanilla. To make multi-colored cookies, separate the icing to several cups or bowls and add a drop or two of coloring to each.
Instead of icing, you can also dust the cookies with confectioners sugar or sprinkles prior to baking.
These cookies keep well when stored in a tin – up to a month. Your yield will depend on the size of your cookie cutters, but about 4 dozen of the gingerbread men shown in the picture.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line the bottoms of 2 bread pans with paper, grease sides. If your bread pans are 8.5”x4.5”, you will have a little batter left over, which you can bake in a mini loaf pan prepared the same way. You could bake the extra batter in muffin tins lined with paper liners.
Mix dry ingredients, then add wet ingredients in order listed. Beat in eggs last.
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Check at 50 minutes.
Larger bread pans will need to bake about 15 minutes longer. Mini loaves and muffins will bake faster, so check after 20 minutes. Bread or muffins are done when a knife or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Make roll dough using your favorite recipe (such as Sunflour Refrigerator Roll recipe from teh Sunflourflour.com website). Once dough has either spent the night in the refrigerator or risen once, it is ready for this recipe. Use the amount of dough that 1 packet of yeast would make.
FOR THE CARAMEL GLAZE:
Make the Caramel Glaze: In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt, and cream together for 2 minutes on high speed. Add the corn syrup and vanilla extract, and continue to cream for about 5 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
Coat the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with the caramel glaze, then sprinkle the pecans evenly over the surface.
FOR THE CARAMEL ROLLS:
Punch down ball of dough. Roll or pat it out into a rectangle about 9” x 13”. Spread the dough with the softened butter, being careful to spread out to the edges. Sprinkle the butter generously with cinnamon sugar. Roll up the dough along the long edge, making a pinwheel. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces. Lay the pieces of dough cut-side-up on top of the caramel glaze, evenly spaced throughout the pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow to rise at room temperature for 75 to 90 minutes, or until the pieces have grown into one another and have nearly doubled in size.
Make-Ahead Note: Instead of the second rise, you can place the shaped buns in the refrigerate for up to 2 days, pulling the pan out of the refrigerator 3 to 4 hours before baking to allow the dough to proof (rise) at room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and adjust the oven rack to the lowest shelf. This is important to make the caramel glaze melt properly.
Bake the sticky buns for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool the buns in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, and then remove them by flipping them over onto another pan or serving platter. Carefully scoop any run-off glaze back over the buns with a spatula. Wait at least 20 minutes before serving. The sticky buns are best eaten the day of baking but can be stored, covered, at room temperature for up to days.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 2 - 8" round cake pans by greasing the sides and lining the bottom with parchment or copier paper.
Cream sugar and shortening, mix in flour. Add milk and flavoring, mix until no dry spots (200 strokes if by hand, about 1 minute on medium using an electric mixer). Add whole eggs and chopped orange peel, mix for another minute. Batter will be thin. Pour into the 2 prepared 8" round cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until done.
Allow layers to cool in pans for 5 minutes before turning out onto cooling rack. Heat marmalade in small saucepan until it liquefies. Place first layer on cake plate and spread a thin layer of marmalade on top. Place second layer on top, then pour rest of marmalade onto top layer. Spread around with a knife. It is okay if the marmalade runs down the sides a bit.
You may serve like this, or top with a dollop of whipped cream and some orange segments, or whatever you find attractive.
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease (with shortening) and flour a 13-x-9-inch pan or three 9-inch round pans. Pour 1 ½ cups boiling water over tea bags in a heatproof glass bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and steep 10 minutes. Lift tea bags from liquid, and press against side of bowl, using back of a spoon; discard tea bags. Cool tea for 20 minutes.
Beat butter in a separate large bowl at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugars, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.
Whisk together cake flour and next 3 ingredients; add to butter mixture alternately with 1 cup tea, beginning and ending with flour mixture. (Discard any remaining tea.) Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake at 350°. For 13-x-9-inch pan, bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. If using three 9-inch rounds, bake for 30-35 minutes. Cool completely on wire rack (about 20 minutes). Spread Lemonade Frosting (recipe below) on cake.
Note: Double frosting recipe if using three 9-inch pans.
Beat cream cheese and butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating at low speed until blended after each addition. Beat in lemon zest and lemon juice until blended. Increase speed to high, and beat until light and fluffy.
If you want your icing to be lemon-colored, mix in a few drops of yellow food coloring.
Serves: 6-8

Meanwhile, beat egg lightly, add milk and oil and combine.
Pour meat mixture in a greased 2 quart casserole. Then add SUNFLOWER corn meal mix to egg mixture. Combine until meal is fully incorporated. Pour corn meal batter over meat mixture. The topping might disappear into meat mixture; if it does, it will rise to the top during baking. Place in preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cornbread is brown.
Make corn bread and biscuits ahead of time and allow to dry out a little bit, then crumble up and combine in a large bowl. Stir in celery, parsley, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning before adding melted butter. Then add turkey broth, about ½ cup at a time, until dressing is moist but not soggy. Place mixture in a 2 quart casserole and bake at 350 degrees for about 2 hours. Top will have a slight crust.
If you plan to use this as stuffing, do NOT fill cavity of turkey completely full. You will need to leave some room for dressing to expand during cooking. Check a good cookbook or the internet for instructions on stuffing a bird and how to adjust the roasting time of the bird if it is stuffed.
Stir flour and sugar together. Gently stir in milk and eggs until there are no yellow streaks. Do not over beat. Some lumps may remain. Stir in melted shortening. Bake on a hot griddle. (Test by dropping a few drops of water on it. The water should sizzle and splatter.) Pancakes are ready to turn over when small holes appear on the uncooked top.
Cut or rub shortening into the flour, add milk a little at a time to make a soft dough. Turn dough out on a well floured board and knead lightly about 30 seconds, roll ½ inch thick, cut with a biscuit cutter, place on a baking sheet, and bake in a hot oven (450°F) about 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Cut with a biscuit cutter, pushing straight down without twisting. Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown on top. Left-over biscuits are fine if split open and toasted for breakfast.
Follow Sunflour Basic Biscuit recipe. When you roll out biscuits, roll to ¼ inch thick and cut into rectangles. Pour enough oil into cast iron skillet to fill midway and heat. When oil is hot, place 5 or 6 rectangles into the skillet, and fry for a few seconds, until the sides start to appear brownish, then flip and cook the other side until it is browned. Keep oil hot between batches. When all are cooked, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with honey.
Cut or rub shortening into the flour, stir in zest, add milk and orange juice a little at a time to make soft dough. Turn dough out in a well floured board and knead lightly about 30 sec.; roll ½ in. thick; cut with a biscuit cutter, place on a baking sheet. Dip a sugar cube quickly into orange juice then push cube into each biscuit. Bake in hot oven (450º) about 10 min.
Cut or rub shortening into the flour, add milk a little at a time to make soft dough. Turn dough out in a well floured board and knead lightly about 30 sec.; roll into long rectangle about ¼ in. thick; spread butter onto dough, then sprinkle cinnamon and sugar all over. Roll up dough like a jelly roll and cut. Place on a baking sheet. Bake in hot oven (450°) about 10 min.
Cut or rub shortening into the flour, add milk a little at a time to make soft dough. Turn dough out in a well floured board and knead lightly about 30 sec.; roll into long rectangle about ¼ in. thick; spread sausage all over. Roll up dough like a jelly roll and cut. Place on a baking sheet. Bake in hot oven (450°) about 10 min.
Scald milk in a saucepan, add shortening, sugar, and salt. Cool to lukewarm. While milk mixture is cooling, soften yeast in lukewarm water. If you are uncertain, cooler is better than hotter. Add 1 cup of SUNFLOUR Plain Flour to the lukewarm milk mixture. Mix thoroughly.
It is okay if the dough has lumps at this point.
Add egg and softened yeast. Beat well. Add enough more SUNFLOUR to make a soft dough. Turn out on lightly floured board or counter and knead until smooth and satiny. You may need to keep putting flour on board to keep dough from sticking. Place ball of dough in lightly greased bowl, rolling ball around to cover it in grease. Cover and put into refrigerator overnight. Ball of dough will last 2-3 days in refrigerator if you like. OR, you may cover bowl and let rise in a warm place (80-85 degrees) until doubled in volume (about 1 ½ hours).
If you do not have a warm place in your home, you can create one by preheating your oven to its lowest possible temperature, then turning off the oven and placing a pan of boiling water on the lowest rack. Place your dough in the oven (remember, you have turned OFF the oven at this point) and let it rise in the oven.
Whether you have put the dough in the refrigerator and pulled it out because you are ready to use it or you have allowed it to rise immediately and are now ready to shape it, punch down the ball of dough. Mold or shape the dough into any desired shape. One popular shape is the cloverleaf roll. Grease your roll pans, then place three balls of dough, each about the size of a large grape, in each cup in your roll pan. Place rolls in a warm place (see above tip for making a warm place) and allow to rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour). Preheat empty oven to 400 degrees and bake for 15 – 20 minutes. This recipe will yield about 15 rolls. You may double recipe to make more.
