Cinnamon Nut Bread

Going back to the baking funk everyone seems to be in, I found a recipe out of this book I wanted to try. This publication was originally done in 1964, reprinted in 1969. I am reading over this introduction and it is definitely dated. here is the final part of that introduction:
".....The modern hostess is ever on the alert for new ideas in form and fillings. To her, this book comes as a most welcome addition to her culinary library and an opportunity to add to her reputation for attractive entertaining."
I just cracks me up how sexist this is, however I understand that at the time women are more likely going to be the main audience of this book. I think that even today women are still likely to host a party or gathering (not so much at the time of this publication thanks to coronavirus). This publication leans heavy on party type sandwiches.  There are many recipes in here I want to try. Here is one that I did for breakfast.

It is the Quick Nut Bread recipe. I did added my spin to this and added cinnamon and vanilla. Therefore I call this recipe Cinnamon nut bread.
I could begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this, I will definitely make this again. The nuts I added to this is pecans and walnuts. I used 1/3 cup of pecans and 2/3 cup of walnuts in this recipe. But first you sift the dry ingredients. 2 cups of flour, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add in 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Combine 1 cup milk, 1 beaten egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of melted shortening. Pour into a greased loaf pan. and baking 1n 350 degree oven for about an hour or until lightly brown.



I clearly did not use a standard loaf pan. I have a favorite oblong baking stone I used, so my baking time was reduced to 45 minutes.

There are many more recipes that I am likely to try and some I am going to stay away from like the Baked Bean and Frank Bunwiches. You might like this one if you are into franks and beans. I am not.

However don't be surprised if you see Pineapple Nut Bread in the future.
