Gumdrop bread

12 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2½ cup Flour
1¼ cup Buttermilk
½ cup Sugar
½ cup Packed brown sugar
¼ cup Shortening
2 Eggs
3 teaspoons Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla
½ teaspoon Baking soda
1 cup Small gumdrops cut into 1/2
½ cup Chopped nuts

Directions

Beat all ingredients except gumdrops and nut in a large mixer bowl on low speed for 15 seconds. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Stir in gumdrops and nuts. Pour into a 9 X 5 inch loaf pan that has been greased on the bottom only. Bake at 350F for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Loosen sides of loaf from the pan. Remove bread from the pan and cool completely on wire rack. For best results, wrap and refrigerate at least 24 hours before slicing. Refrigerate no longer than 1 week.
