Howdy!
Hubby went back out to work this morning, so I was flipping through Pinterest trying to find a pancake recipe that I could have sworn that I pinned only to come up short >.< But, I did come across this
Amish Cinnamon Bread recipe from RedFly Creations and decided to give it a shot. Granted, it wasn't for breakfast - that became a bowl of cereal.
I ended up baking this for about an hour instead of 45-50 minutes. And I will definitely incorporate the cinnamon sugar differently next time. But, it's still pretty good. Especially with a little butter ;)
I'm thinking that as I goes stale that it might make some tasty French toast...
Amish Cinnamon Bread
(makes 2 loaves)
Batter:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk or 2 cups milk plus 2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
Cinnamon/sugar mixture:
2/3 cups sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Cream together butter, 2 cups of sugar, and eggs. Add milk, flour, and baking soda. Put 1/4 of batter into greased loaf pans. Mix in separate bowl the 2/3 c sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle 3/4 of cinnamon mixture on top of the 1/2 batter in each pan. Add remaining batter to pans; sprinkle with last of cinnamon topping. Swirl with a knife. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 min. or until toothpick tester come clean.
Cool in pan for 20 minutes before removing from pan.
The other day I found a Pinterest post about Blueberry Banana Bread that had a special ingredient in it - Greek yogurt! I didn't have any blueberries, but I did have strawberries, so what did I make... Strawberry Banana Bread! Honestly, I LOVE banana bread. BUT, banana bread is my baking nemesis. I have tried dozens of recipes. Everything from old church lady recipes to modern test kitchen recipes. It always comes out underdone in the center and usually burnt on the edges. I HIGHLY recommend this bread. It was easy and delicious! AND, it came out perfectly! This is definitely my go-to banana bread recipe from now on. Thank you so much, Emily!!!!
