Pumkin bread

I was raised that when someone you know is in need you just dont say " what can I do to help" you make arrangemants and do something. A new friend of mine on base grandma passed away this morning. Her love is deployed and whe moved a long way away from family. So i made some pumkin bread.

Most of my respies are old school. I find they tiast better, tried and true. This is it old school 

2C. Sifte Flour

2 tsp. Baking Powder

1/2 tsp. Soda

1 tsp. Salt

1 tsp. Cinnamon- We will come back to this

1/2 tsp. Nutmeg

1C. Sugar

1/2 c Milk

2 Eggs

1/4c Soft Butter

Sift Flour, Baking Powder, Soda, Salt, and spices togeather. This is important to make sure everything combines well. If you don't have a sifter a mesh strainer works great as well. Combine Pumkin, Sugae, Milk, Eggs and softened Butter in a  mixing bowl. Add dry ingredients and  mix till well blended. Bake at 350 deg for 45-65 mins.  It s a long spread but I use castiron for baking so it takes a bit more time.

Now to the Cinnamon there are two different kinds.

Cassia, Indonesian Cassia, Saigon (Vietnamese) Cinnamon,
Chinese Cinnamon, it is darker red, and smelles like  a cinnamon puncn in the face

 Ceylon Cinnamon or “True” Cinnamon smells sweeter and is ligher brown.

For Pumkin bread I love using Cassia
