4tsp baking powder
1/2tsp salt
1-1/4C evaporated milk (they call it cream)
2lrg eggs, lightly beaten
1/2C margarine, melted (cool! so it does not precook eggs
)

mix all dry ingredients in bowl with wire wisk
mix all wet ingredients in mixing bowl then add in all dry ingredients and mix until blended
Bake 20-25min until golden brown on top and knife inserted comes out clean. Don't over bake because it will become dry. Makes 9 squares

Curried Chicken:
1 3-4lb frying chicken, cut into 12 pieces. ( I used skinless/boneless chicken breasts, About 6, Cut these in 1/2 and then into strips)
Salt/pepper
2-3Tbl oil ( I used canola)
1 med onion, chopped
1 small green pepper, chopped
3Tbl curry powder (I didn't realize how spicy this was so use to your taste
)
1tsp salt
1tsp black pepper
2 Irish potatoes, peeled and cut into pieces/or pre-cook 2C of rice to mix in later
Chicken broth (if needed to to cook potatoes)
Clean chicken, sprinkle with salt pepper
Cook chicken,onion,pepper,curry powder and salt in heated oil until chicken is no longer pink.
Add in potatoes w/chicken broth if needed to help cook them (this also helps make the gravy when using potatoes)
Or add in rice
Cover and turn heat to low to steam for about 20min. Stir periodically to keep from sticking.
For a vegetable: Your choice of Salad greens, spinach or broccoli
(Or something green
) ENJOY!
Have a great night! BBL Heidi
