I love those recipes we all have grown up with, they are just too good to miss.
Great recipe. I made it as Grandma Van Doren probably did, using plain flour, because I'm sure "bread flour" wasn't there when Grandma was feeding her starving family. Tip: Double the yeast to halve the rising time. It is a real time saver.
* ingredients:
° 2 large eggs
° 2 cups all-purpose flour.
° 1 cup of canola oil
° 1 cup of regular white sugar
° 1 cup of nuts or raisins (optional)
° 1/3 cup of whole milk
° 2 tsp powder cinnamon.
° 1 + 1/2 tsp extract vanilla.
° 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
° 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.
° 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
I set the oven temperature to 160°C.
* Directions:
Step 1:
I mixed the ingredients in two large bowls, one for the wet ingredients and one for the dry ingredients. Then I gathered them together and left the rest for 30 minutes.
Step 2:
Grease a pair of large loaf pans.
Step 3:
In a small bowl, I mixed 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder.
Greased frying pans.
The fourth step:
Pour the batter into the moulds, then sprinkle the top with the rest of the sugar + cinnamon mixture.
Fifth step:
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes to check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaves, which should come out dry.
Enjoy cooking !
