Pancake Bread

Del Norte is a one stop light town. I am never embarrassed when I tell people this. In fact, I am rather proud of the fact. We have one grocery store, where they still cut the best meat ever on request. We have two gas stations, a small used car dealership, a couple of places to eat, and a fantastic library. 
My children practically grew up in the library. At the time they were in grade school, we lived on a farm where our nearest neighbors were a mile away. No phone. Our television only received two channels, snow in black and white, or snow in color. No snow plows. 
The library was something we could do as a family, and I loved our Thursday night visits there. You see, our library stays open late on Thursday nights! Everyone would get their limit of four books per person. The next day, the house was always quiet as everyone grabbed pillows, blankets, and found their spot next to the wood stove. 
That was also the day I made pancake bread. It is my own recipe, and always wonderful to eat. The children would munch on it all day long as we all immersed ourselves in adventures, (My boys were completely into Terry Lewis,) love stories, (My girls were totally into Romeo and Juliet,) and pancake bread. 
I don't make it as often as I used to, and you can change any part of it and it still comes out pretty good.
Now that winter is once again approaching, you might want to visit your library, grab a pillow and blanket, and make yourself some yummy pancake bread.
