Grey winter days call for making/BAKING your own sunshine!
This bread is just what days like that are begging for.
Heck — this bread is for any ‘ol day. It’s THAT good. I gave some to my dad, and he shared some with his friend. Later that day I got a text saying it was the best bread she had ever eaten!
This recipe came out of an old church cookbook my grandmother gave me way back when. I dig them out from time to time, because the recipes are ALWAYS good. I mean, who wants to attach their name to a recipe in a cookbook purchased and read by people at your church that is bad? Right, nobody. You submit something to a church cookbook, and it’s your tried and true winning recipes.
Honestly, it was a wonder the bread actually had enough batter to be made at all. Holy smokes, is it good!
It baked up so pretty, didn’t it? Sidebar: I love these tea towels! (actually tea towels in general — it’s a bit of an addiction.) But these mean the world to me, because my Aunt embroidered them. I have a whole set, all with different fruits on them.
Slice it up and serve it warm with a glass of cold milk and watch it disappear!
