This recipe is so easy and inexpensive. The picky SO has yet to have a piece, I think his taste buds are broken. Maybe if I poured hot sauce on it first...
Lets begin!
we have the recipe, I cut off the end, the cooking temperature is 350 degrees. Blogger resizes my photos so I will have to be cognizant of that going forward with my picture taking to be sure to get the whole recipe in here.
You start with your 2 cups of flour. I don't have a fancy flour sifter, but this wire strainer deal works just fine.
Add in your sugar. I might experiment with some brown sugar next time I make this.
The baking brothers. I always have to hide baking soda in the kitchen because the SO loves to pour it down the drains to eliminate odors. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it that he does this, but when you go to bake and all your soda is gone it can be frustrating.
Freshly grated nutmeg is so so much better than the powdered stuff. Also, it can be used as a threat against the SO that if he pours that last box of soda in the sink he might find a whole lot of nutmeg in his tea. (extreme amounts of nutmeg is poisonous if you did not know, so obviously that is a joke)
The recipe calls for walnuts. I don't really like walnuts so I used brazil nuts. I also don't like chopping nuts so into the quick chopper they go! If you like to cook but don't have very good knife skills or just don't have the time to cut manually these little things are GREAT!
viola!
Once you combine all those dry ingredients you have to get to work on the wet stuff.
The egg is about to be beaten!
The star of the show. When I was growing up, my older sister used to dip ALL of her food in applesauce. I am not kidding, steak, spaghetti, mac n' cheese, etc. Thank goodness she outgrew this but I can't look at applesauce and not think of her.
The wet stuff goes on the dry stuff and stir stir stir!
The recipe said to POUR the mixed concoction in the pan, but there is no pouring here, this was scooping and smushing with my spoon.
Into the oven you go!
See you in 50 minutes
It turned out golden brown and delicious looking (and smelling). Let it sit on your counter for about a half an our and then turn the pan over onto a plate and your loaf is served!
A little bit of butter and perfection!!! I like to eat this for breakfast. I slice off a piece and nuke it for about 30 seconds and it is good to go!
