| - | When I was a wee boy, my great aunt Mildred would come to the lake house for a week each summer (with my grandparents Beryl and Lawrence and Mildred's husband Atwood). We'd stay up very late every night playing penny ante poker on the screened in porch, it was awesome. And, Aunt Mildred would bake Anadama Bread. I love dit and I wanted to more than once a year and she insisted that there was no recipe and she couldn't teach me to make it. I must have conned her out of a little info as I have two sheets of ruled paper with my 12 year old chicken scratchings on them. Discovered that yellowed paper the other day and decided to give it a go. I think I understand now - there really isn't a recipe, I know Mildred never measured anything and, it really doesn't matter. You add flour until the dough has the "right" consistency - the other ingredients, well, sometimes it's a little more salty, sometimes a bit sweeter - anyway, here's a starting point. IMO, Milfread had a heavier hand with the molasses than this, but this makes good bread. | + | When I was a wee boy, my great aunt Mildred would come to the lake house for a week each summer (with my grandparents Beryl and Lawrence and Mildred's husband Atwood).
