The Widow of Zarephath....flour and oil

[Cherene]

If you were the widow of Zarephath and only had Oil, Flour and water............ What would you make for Elijah ? ? ? ? ? She made round cakes, but is that all one can do ?????? Cooking is not my thing so I have always wandered about this.

I'd make my mom's pie shell recipe. But instead of putting it a pie pan, I'd roll it out flat, then bake it. When done, I'd sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top while it's still hot. Then break it into small bite size pieces as it cools, and serve it with hot tea for a really yummy dessert!

WOW........ Great ideas........ The great trib is on its way so it would be good to know these things.

With these three ingredients The Indians make Naan bread. Make it into dough roll it into a ball then take a portion roll each portion out like you are make pizza.

Then in a pan put a little oil heat & cook till it bubbles

Little & flip do the othr side. Eat with whatever dish you have.

Or you can make a batter with flour. salt & pepper mix some water til all smooth & add fish & light fry.;o)

maybe she had some sour-dough, and so she could make some delicious bread.

Gabe, here in the southern part of the united states, we call that "fry bread"--sort of like tacos for indigenous Indians.

With those ingredients you can also make sopapillas.......white gravy (really need a little pepper and salt, too).......pancakes (unless you think those might be the kind of cakes she made).....and don't forget you can make glue out of flour and water....just thinking of other mcguyver type uses for the GT.
