Cinnamon Bread

 

My boys love any sort of bread for breakfast. I came across this one in a cookbook called Sunday Dinners at Grandma's. The boys loved it, and although it isn't the healthiest thing on Earth it also isn't meant to be eaten in its entirety. 

I was out of buttermilk, so I combined 1T white vinegar with 1 c milk

Ingredients:

1/2 c shortening

1 c sugar

2 eggs

2 c all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 c buttermilk

3 T sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Blend shortening and 1 c sugar in large bowl with mixer. Beat in eggs. Set aside. In another bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add to shortening mixture, a little at a time alternating with buttermilk. In another small bowl, mix cinnamon and 1 T sugar. Grease a loaf pan (I use Baker's Joy spray) and add 1/4 of batter. Top with cinnamon sugar. Continue for 4 layers total. Bake for an hour and cool on wire rack.
