Southern Sweet Potato Bread Source: Martha White Kitchens 1 1/2 cups sifted self-rising flour * 1 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs, lightly beaten 1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 tablespoons milk 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes 1 cup chopped pecans 1/2 cup golden raisins
Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease bottom only of a 9 x 4 x 2-inch loaf pan. Stir together flour and spices in mixing bowl. With a spoon, stir in sugar, eggs, oil and milk; blend well. Stir in sweet potatoes, pecans and raisins. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack. For easier slicing, wrap loaf and store overnight in a cool place. Bread mellows over time and will keep for several days. Makes 8 to 10 servings. * If using all-purpose flour, sift 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt with the flour and spices. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
