- Grease or spray loaf pans with spray release.
- Fill pans half full with batter.

- Bake at 350°F until done. Test with a toothpick if unsure. Toothpick should come out dry when inserted into center of loaf.
- Small loaves take about 35 minutes. Large loaves take 45 minutes.
- Let cool in pans for 10 minutes or so then carefully turn out onto racks to cool completely.
- My mom sometimes frosted them with cream cheese frosting, but I just like 'em plain.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a retired grandma who loves to try new recipes. I also want to preserve some of our family's favorite recipes and some of the recipes I inherited from my Mother and Grandmother so my children will have them. I love to cook (but not everyday if I can help it) so I like to cook things that give us left-overs. Also, my hubby takes lunch to work five days a week, so I try to cook things that will heat-up in the microwave at his work. I love to knit, read, bird-watch, tinker in the garden and I am discovering old movies. I am quite fond of cats, and sometimes they appear in my recipes - but not as ingredients :-).<img img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpgsrc=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket>
