"Plain fresh bread, its crust shatteringly crisp. Sweet cold butter. There is magic in the way they come together in your mouth to make a single perfect bite."--Ruth Reichl

Personal Notes:
As you know, when Grandma Bednarz made coffee cakes, SHE MADE COFFEE CAKES. I was finally able to get approximate ingredients from her and in a small amount--not 100 cakes! These really turn out well, however, be warned they don't last long as soon as everyone gets a taste. One time I made 24 coffee cakes and David, Troy and Courtney finished them off in less than a week.
