GREAT GRANDMA NORTHRUP'S BROWN BREAD OR GRAHAM GEMS

from my great grandmother on my mother's side. I have tried this and found it very good. You can substitute whole wheat flour for the graham flour if you can't find it. The texture will be a little different but it should still be good.

GRANDMA'S BROWN BREAD (GRAHAM BREAD)



Grandma's Brown Bread (Graham Bread) image

A very old-fashioned basic quick bread using graham (or whole wheat) flour. My Grandma made it at all holidays... hence the name. She was born in the mid 1880's and probably learned the recipe from her own mother. I had to write it down by standing at her elbow as she made it! Since there is no shortening in this recipe... I recommend whole milk... but skim also works. Make sure to use baking soda... NOT baking powder. Bread is moist, dense, and flavorful.
