Recipe Introduction


This is Mrs. McNulty’s recipe. She makes it with dark raisins only. Mrs. McNulty makes this bread at least twice a week for her family and makes extra loaves for every birthday, holiday etc. She has won prizes for this recipe. I like this bread better with the craisins and apples or plain.


List of Ingredients




3 cups flour
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup raisins *
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tbsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 2/3 cups buttermilk
2 tbsps. melted butter

*OR handful craisins and ½ of an apple cut up in small pieces or dried apples about a handful.


Recipe



Mix together all dry ingredients. Add raisins or craisins and apples. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add butter milk and melted butter. Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients by spoon just until liquid is incorporated into the dry ingredients. Grease a bread loaf pan and pour in batter. Bake in a 350 oven for 1 hour.

Half way through baking, gently rub the top of the bread with butter or margarine evenly. This will give you a nice soft buttery crust.
