Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Scenting The Cottage Today...



Is my husband's favorite Cinnamon Bread! I had every intention of tidying up the garden today, but I got a bit sidetracked and found myself in one of my favorite places...the kitchen! Here is the recipe, it's easy and oh so good! I double the batch and freeze one for later, as I usually do with everything I bake.


Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, softened (as always, I used "I can't believe it's not butter")
1 1/3 cups sugar, divided
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk (If you've none on hand make your own! See my archives)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, 1 cup sugar and egg until blended. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to egg mixture alternately with buttermilk.

In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and remaining sugar.

Pour a third of the batter into a greased 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. loaf pan; sprinkle with a third of the cinnamon sugar. Repeat layers twice.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

Oooh! This sounds so yummy! Love cinnamon too. Did you know cinnamon can help regulate your blood sugar?

Here is a favorite trick I learned from a friend, add a tsp sprinkled over your coffee grounds before you perk. So yummy!

Stop by again soon!
