Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 2/3 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 c dark molasses
1 c buttermilk
1/2 c raisins or currants ,optional

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325^. Generously spray or grease a 1-pound coffee can. Set aside.
  • 2. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir in molasses and milk. If using raisins, dust with flour to coat first, then fold into the batter.
  • 3. Fill the coffee can with batter. It should come up about 2/3 of the way. Cover the top with foil and tie securely with a string to make it airtight.
  • 4. Place in a deep baking pan and fill the pan with boiling water, to come 1/2 way up the sides of the can. Place in oven and allow to steam for 2 hours, checking the war level after 1 hour. Add more boiling water if needed. Check by sticking a skewer into the bread; it will come clean when done. Remove string and foil and allow to cool for 1 hour before removing from can.
