Banana Butterscotch Bread image

Warning! Addictive! This is such a delicious version of traditional banana bread and is extremely popular whenever I make it that I had to share it on Allrecipes! I got it from an old Bed and Breakfast recipe from a place in Maryland and make it every year around the holidays! I don't use the walnuts, but I hear that it is really good for those that like them. This recipe has definitely become a new tradition!

GRANDMA JEANNE'S BUTTERSCOTCH WAFERS



Grandma Jeanne's Butterscotch Wafers image

This is a great holiday cookie because you can make a giant batch of dough and bake the cookies all at once or keep logs in the freezer and bake them when company is expected. One of my fondest food memories is making butterscotch-walnut cookies with my mom from a terrific recipe of my great-grandmother Jeanne Hirsch, who grew up in South Carolina. Jeanne, I was told, would roll the dough into long logs and wrap them in waxed paper for chilling before baking-something I still do. Bake as many cookies as you need and wrap the leftover logs in plastic wrap, then place them in a resealable freezer bag to bake another time.

Categories     Walnut Cookies

Time 2h50m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ½ cups chopped walnuts
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
2 cups lightly packed dark brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the walnuts on a rimmed sheet pan.
  • Toast walnuts in the preheated oven until fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the walnuts to a plate and set aside.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • Add brown sugar and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer; cream on medium-low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low and add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition and using a rubber spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Stop the mixer, add the flour mixture, and mix on low until flour is nearly incorporated. Add walnuts and continue to mix until there aren't any streaks of flour in the cookie dough.
  • Place about 1/2 of the dough in the center of a piece of parchment or waxed paper and use the paper to help you shape the dough into a 2-inch wide log. Roll the log back and forth so the sides are nicely rounded. Repeat with the remaining dough to make a second log. Set the parchment-wrapped logs on a baking sheet and freeze them until hard, about 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Unwrap a log and place it on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice the log crosswise into the thinnest possible rounds without having the cookies crumble apart, about 1/8- to 1/16-inch thick. Set the cookies 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before using a spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack.

BUTTERSCOTCH, WALNUT AND COFFEE BREAD PUDDING



Butterscotch, Walnut and Coffee Bread Pudding image

Categories     Dairy     Egg     Nut     Dessert     Bake     Winter     Gourmet     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 pound brioche or challah
1 cup walnuts
1 cup butterscotch chips
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons instant espresso or coffee granules
3 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Discard crust from bread and cut enough bread into 1/2-inch cubes to measure 6 cups. In a large baking pan dry bread, uncovered, at room temperature 12 hours. (Alternatively, dry bread in a 250°F oven 1 hour.)
  • Butter a 10-inch pie plate (1 1/2 quarts).
  • Chop walnuts and toast golden. Cool walnuts. In a bowl toss together bread, half of walnuts, and butterscotch chips and transfer to pie plate. In a saucepan heat 1 cup milk until it just begins to boil and remove pan from heat. Add espresso or coffee granules, stirring until dissolved, and stir in remaining cup milk.
  • In bowl whisk together eggs, sugar, and salt and whisk in espresso mixture until combined well. Pour custard slowly and evenly over bread mixture. Chill pudding, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Sprinkle remaining walnuts evenly over pudding. Cut butter into bits and dot pudding with it. Bake pudding in middle of oven until bubbling and golden, about 40 minutes. Serve pudding warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and creates a smoother batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This incorporates air into the mixture, which makes the bread light and airy.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time: This prevents the eggs from curdling.
  • Add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk: This helps to prevent the batter from becoming too dry or lumpy.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven: This helps to ensure that the bread bakes evenly.
  • Cool the bread completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch walnut bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. It is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The bread is moist and flavorful, with a sweet and nutty flavor. The frosting is rich and creamy, and it perfectly complements the bread. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
