New Englanders cherish old recipes, which have been passed down to them from generation to generation. For fun we dug up some old family recipe books and found a traditional recipe we thought Reminisce readers would enjoy. Nothing beats homemade brown bread accompanied by a pot of beans.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2/3 cup old-fashioned oats
2/3 cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/3 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup molasses
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, cornmeal, baking soda and salt. Combine buttermilk and molasses; stir into dry ingredients. Pour into two greased 10-oz. ramekins or custard cups; cover with foil.
2. Place ramekins on a rack in a deep kettle; add 1 in. of hot water to kettle. Bring to a gentle boil; cover and steam for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, adding more water as needed.
3. Remove ramekins from kettle; let stand for 5 minutes before removing bread from ramekins. Yield: 2 servings.
