Pumpkin Nut Bread
1 cup pumpkin puree (canned is fine)
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup chopped nuts (your choice - walnuts or pecans)
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices. In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, milk and eggs. Beat in softened butter. Add dry ingredients to pumpkin mixture until blended. Mix in the chopped nuts. Pour into greased loaf pans (9x5x3). Bake in oven for 45 to 55 minutes.
Check with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, its done. Allow to stand in pans 5 minutes and turn out onto a rack to cool. This recipe is good warm or cold. Feel free to slice it
and spread with softened cream cheese.
