The secret ingredient in this unusual bread is graham crackers-they add color, texture and flavor appeal. The recipe makes two loaves. Have one now and freeze one to serve later.
2 cups graham cracker crumbs or finely crushed graham crackers (30 squares)
1/2 cup shortening
1 3/4 cups buttermilk *
3/4 cup molasses
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup raisins
Heat oven to 375°F. Grease and flour bottoms only of two 8 x 4-inch loaf pans. In large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and shortening; beat until well blended. Add buttermilk, molasses and eggs; blend well. In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; mix well. Add to graham cracker mixture; mix at low speed until well blended. Fold in raisins. Pour batter into greased and floured pans.
Bake at 375°F. for 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pans. Cool on wire racks. Wrap tightly and store in refrigerator.
*TIP: To substitute for buttermilk, use 5 teaspoons vinegar or lemon juice plus milk to make 1 3/4 cups.
HIGH ALTITUDE - Above 3,500 feet: Increase flour to 2 1/4 cups. Bake as directed above.
