May 12, 2009

This is a great bread to make in the fall.  It is very moist, and makes for a hearty breakfast.  This recipe is from the archives of Ethel Eynard, my grandmother.  Jefferson City, MO.  1975.

    In the Pumpkin loaf recipe In the directions it states “Sift flour with salt, baking powder, soda, and spices; set aside.” But in the ingredients soda is not mentioned… so what kind of typo is this? Am I missing an ingredient, or did you add soda by mistake? Thank you

    It was an accidental omission on my part, the baking soda is back in.
