This recipe goes back at least as far as my grandmother, who was born in the early 1900's. Our sons and I enjoy eating it in a bowl with milk poured on itmuch to the dismay of my husband, who prefers it plain! Ingredients:
4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 cups sugar |
1 cup cold butter |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk |
1-1/4 teaspoons baking soda |
2 eggs |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine flour and sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside 2 cups. Combine remaining crumb mixture with the remaining ingredients.
2. Sprinkle 1 cup of the reserved crumbs into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Pour batter over crumbs and sprinkle with remaining crumbs. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Yield: 16-20 servings.
