Cinnamon Bread
This recipe makes 2 loaves of the most yummy bread. I love to keep one loaf and give the other away to friends or neighbors. It also freezes well wrapped in plastic wrap and then put in a ziploc bag or wrapped in foil . You can even make it into muffins, just adjust the cooking time.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter softened to room temp
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk or 2 cup milk plus 2 T vinegar or lemon juice
4 cups flour
2 t. baking soda
Cinnamon sugar mixture:
2/3 c sugar
2 1/2 t. cinnamon
Cream together the butter, 2 c sugar, and 2 eggs. Add milk, flour, and baking soda. Put 1/2 of the batter into each greased loaf pan. Mix the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle 3/4 of the cinnamon mixture on top of the batter in each loaf pan. Add the remaining batter evenly to each pan and sprinkle with the last of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Pat gently into the batter with the back of a wooden spoon or whatever you have handy. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Check the bread while baking, you do not want to overcook the bread. Cool about 20 minutes in the pans before removing the bread.
