Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/3 c milk
2/3 c grape-nuts cereal
2 c sifted flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt (my note: reducing salt to 1 teaspoon will not affect results)
2 c sugar
1 large egg, well beaten
3 Tbsp shortening, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Heat milk until almost, but not quite boiling. Pour milk over cereal and let stand until cool. Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder, salt, and sugar, and sift again. Add egg and shortening to cereal mixture and mix well. Then add flour mixture and stir enough to dampen flour. Turn into 10 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan, lined on bottom with paper. Bake in moderate oven (350°F) 1 hour, or until done. Wrap in waxed paper and store several hours or overnight before slicing.
