Evelyn Dab’s Mix
For the birds so don’t be tempted to eat some yourself!
18 oz peanut butter (smooth or crunchy) – this is 2 cups if not using a 18 oz jar.
1 lb. margarine or unsalted butter (tub or sticks)
½ cup sugar
2 cups flour – preferably unbleached or whole wheat
4 cups yellow corn meal
Combine flour and cornmeal in separate bowl.
In a large microwave safe bowl melt the margarine/butter, until only just completely melted and not over nuked! This is about 95 seconds in my microwave. Stove top will work too of course. You’ll get the knack how long after a few tries. Take out/remove and add sugar. You can blend by hand or beater.
While adding the sugar melt the peanut butter as you did the m/b, but keep a close eye on it so you don’t have a peanut butter volcano! You can melt in a bowl (about 80 seconds in my microwave), or, after removing the aluminum top to the jar of peanut butter, replace cap loosely and microwave it in the jar! Keep checking and don’t create a bubbling peanut butter plastic toxic waste dump in your microwave! You’ll get the hang of it in no time.
Combine peanut butter with m/b and sugar mixture.
Slowly blend flour cornmeal mixture in with melted stuff. You can experiment and add seed, or unsalted peanuts, or whatever, but the birds will love it just the way Evelyn Dab’s intended! Enjoy!
