Halal Kosher Vegetarian Nut Free Eggs Bake Nut-Free Dessert Fried sweet savory umami sugary european halal kosher side bread french main

A recipe handed down by my grandmother Anna Marie McNamara (nee Player). This is a great recipe for a light tea dessert bread. Delicious with light butter hot out of the oven. You can use any type of milk. I usually make this bread when my milk is about to go sour. I like to use raw crystallized sugar in place of the white granulated sugar. My father likes to use buttermilk.

Ingredients

2.5 cups all-purpose flour
0.5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
9 tablespoons white sugar
0.5 teaspoons salt
3.5 tablespoons butter , softened
0.5 cups milk
2 eggs
0.5 cups raisins
1 tablespoon white sugar

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2

Grease an 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch loaf pan.
3

Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, 9 tablespoons sugar, and salt in the mixing bowl of a large stand mixer on low speed until combined.
4

Mix in butter until thoroughly combined.
5

Beat in milk, then eggs, then raisins, incorporating each ingredient well before adding the next.
6

Transfer dough to the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
7

Bake in the preheated oven until bread has risen and the top is golden brown, about 45 minutes. A toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center should come out clean.
