Write Everyday Project #26, Papa's Pineapple Bread (Cooking III)

So named because my niece Julia calls my father (her grandfather) "Papa" and one of his signature dishes "Papa Bread," here's a recipe for pineapple muffins that's popular in my family.

2 Cups Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 Cup White Sugar*
1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
2 Eggs
1 1/4 Cups Crushed Pineapple (Half a 20 oz can)
1/2 Teaspoon Anise
1 Tablespoon Milk

Pre-heat an oven to 350 degrees.

Grease 12 Muffin Tins.  (We use Pam)

Sift together the Flour, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, and Salt.

Combine Sugar, Oil, Eggs, and Crushed Pineapple.  Stir well.

Slowly add the Flour mixture to the Pineapple mixture, stirring well as you do.

Add Anise.  Stir well.

Add Milk.  Stir well.

Fill 12 muffin tins to just under the brim of the cups.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Makes 12 muffins.  Prep time 10-15 minutes.  30 minutes baking.  Total time 40-45 minutes.

* = Sweeten to taste.  "Papa" prefers to halve the sugar when preparing it for Julia, though this does make it kind of bland for adult eaters.
