Well this is a treat that I seldom get time to make. With Christmas so close, my wife and girls requested this so here are the early pics. I'll post more of the loaves after baking.
The recipe is an old family one that has molassas, brown sugar, shortning, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, and sultana rasins. It is amazing warm from the oven, or toasted and buttered. Waking up to the smell of it in the toaster as a kid always made my mouth water. Now I enjoy it for breakfast with a glass of juice, or as a treat/bedtime snack.
All the liquid and other ingredients are blended first, and flour added til a medium firm ball is acheived. Its allowed to rise, then put in pans, and allowed to rise again before baking. A labour of love, but its worth it. I don't have a fancy machine to kneed it, so its all hand power.
Wish we had Smell-a-vision! Hey Dave, ya wanna get on that? Thanks!
