Brown sugar bread recipe - Vintage Recipe Thursday

Vintage Recipe Thursday is meant to preserve your own original vintage family recipes, or out-of-print, copyright-free recipes from old cookbooks, magazines, newspapers. You're invited! Get the details by clicking to the Vintage Recipe Thursday Homepage. I post recipes from the Searchlight Recipe Book, first published in 1931. My 16th printing is from 1943. What will you post?


*************************

There's just something about brown sugar that makes everything taste better. Brown sugar cookies are just better than regular sugar cookies, and this brown sugar bread recipe is no different.

This is a really easy bread to make, too. It's not a yeast bread, so there's no kneading involved which makes it great for those who are skittish about that. Although, I must say that yeast breads are not nearly as difficult as they might seem. Certainly, there are some recipes which require a professional baker and professional kitchen, but there are plenty more which are accessible for anyone. So go ahead and venture out into the great world of breads.

Brown Sugar Bread
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg, well beaten
3/4 cup milk
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
cinnamon


Cream sugar and 1 tablespoon butter, add egg. Add milk and mix well. Add flour which has been sifted, measured, and sifted with baking powder and salt. Pour into well-oiled pan and sprinkle with brown sugar. Sprinkle with cinnamon and dot with butter or butter substitute. Bake in hot oven (435 F.) 25 minutes. 6 servings. Mrs. C. R. Crispin, Syracuse, N.Y.

    This is a repost from last week. My server went down early in the day. I decided to repost.

  2. Grampy: Great idea to repost. I'm sure most people missed it, due to the server issue. And thank you for participating.
