Process Essay for Baking
The Holidays are here, and with that bring all the memories of my mother on Christmas morning. I remember waking up to the smell of something incredible baking in the kitchen. I got out of bed wearing my new pajamas that my mother bought for me and my siblings on Christmas. It was a tradition, one of many in my household. I opened the door, and the smell of the delicious pie came over my mouth. I could taste it. I walked down the hall, and there was the tree, all the presents wrapped neatly knowing Santa had been there. A smile upon my face and my mother near the stove, what a day it would be. She turned around with a smile and said “Good morning Antoinette, and Merry Christmas.” I replied “Merry Christmas Mom.” with a hug and a kiss. That was the start to my holiday mornings, and since then it has been a tradition that has been pasted down to me. Christmas isn’t just about the presents under the tree, it’s more than that. Every Christmas morning we would have egg pie and applesauce cookies, right before opening up all of our presents. Here is the recipe that has been pasted down to me from my mother, and her mother.
