AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD - LEMON
Though called a bread, this is more of a pound cake; a dessert. Kate brought this recipe, and a batch of starter, on the 2009 Labor Day weekend. If you don't have any starter, you're finished. If you do, you may already know this recipe. Do not use any metal spoon or bowl.
Ingredients:
1 bowl of starter from Starter Maintenance
2 cups flour, divided
1/2 cups milk, divided
1.5 cups sugar, divided
3 eggs
1 cup oil
1 lemon
1.5 t cinnamon, divided
.5 t vanilla
1.5 t baking powder
.5 t Baking Soda
.5 t salt
1 large box (5.6 oz) instant lemon pudding
Procedures:
To the remaining batter add:
3 eggs
1 cup oil
1/2 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1/2 t vanilla
1.5 t baking powder
.5 t baking soda
.5 t salt
2 cups sifted flour
Add the pudding and the juice of 1/2 lemon.
Create the dusting mixture by combining 1/2 cup sugar and lemon zest.
Grease 2 large, non-metal, loaf pans and dust each with some of the dusting mixture.
Pour the batter evenly into the loaf pans and then sprinkle the remaining dusting mixture over the top.
Bake 1 hour at 325o, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool until the bread loosens evenly from the pan (about 10 minutes) and turn out onto serving plate.
May be served warm or cool.
Notes:
2009-09-24: The 1st batch was done with Lemon pudding and the juice of 1/2 lemon and the zest of one lemon
