Honey Bread

 Honey Bread

This is an old recipe of my friend Bernice's grandmother's 

who gave it to me many years ago.

• Cream 3/4 cup of butter and 2 cups sugar
• Beat in 4 eggs
• Add 3/4 cup honey

Sift together

• 4 cups Rye flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• Add to mixture alternating with 1 cup buttermilk.

No buttermilk? 

A substitute is 1 tablespoon lemon juice in cup filled rest of the way with milk.

Pour into 2 greased loaf pans.

Bake one hour at 350 degrees.

I find that the middles didn't bake enough in two loaves so I make 3 loaves and still keep them in the oven the full hour and they came out fine.
