question of the week repost of my Pear Cardamom Bread

[Guest guest]

This is one great bread!

 

Pear Cardamom Bread

 

2 cups flour (I use unbleached)

1 cup sugar (I use raw,if raw make the cup heaping)

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp cardamom

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 cup butter, margarine or Crisco (room temp.)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup buttermilk (soy milk works)

1 tsp. vanilla

1 cup peeled chopped ripe pears

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour an 8

1/2-inch loaf pan. You will have a little extra

batter for a little mini loaf pan, or an extra large

single individual muffin tin. (This is your treat for

making the bread).

In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking

powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cardamom.

With a pastry blender or a knife and fork (cut back

and forth), cut in the butter until mixture resembles

coarse crumbs.

In a small bowl beat eggs with the buttermilk and

vanilla. Add the egg mixture to the dry mixture and

beat on low or stir just until moistened.

Fold in the pears.

Spoon mixture into prepared pan.

Bake about 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted

comes out clean.

Cool for 10 mins. on a wire rack, remove from pan and

contimue cooling on rack.

 

 

We gotta stop smokin', stop, stop. I mean cigarette smoking.
