Directions

Try Cranberry Brickle for a breakfast treat I was going through my recipe box last night and came across my favorite recipe for a breakfast or holiday treat. It is called Cranberry Brickle. I was attending an after-service coffee at the First Congregational Church in West Yarmouth, Mass., when I ate this wonderful treat. The lady serving that morning owns a bed-and-breakfast and makes this every day for her guests. She wrote the recipe for me on a paper plate. Since fresh cranberries will soon be in the stores for the holidays, I thought your readers would enjoy this one. -- Geri Smith In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar. Add the egg and stir in milk. Slowly add flour, baking powder and salt. Mixture will be very stiff. Fold in cranberries. Pour into greased 8-by-8-inch square pan. Sprinkle evenly with topping. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. Note: Fresh raspberries, blueberries or apples can be substituted for cranberries.
