This recipe is from my dear gramma and written in her own handwriting. She's been gone since I was in high-school and so it's near and dear to my heart. The original recipe states "no eggs or lard". Lard you say???? Is that something that you buy in the store.?? ETA...since some aren't able to find graham flour too readily. There is a recipe on Zaar for a sub...Graham Flour Substitute.

2 loaves (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar or white sugar
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 cups graham flour
2 cups white flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup raisins, I use more
3/4 cup molasses
1/2 teaspoon salt
nuts, chopped fine (optional)

Directions

1
Mix altogether and let stand 1 hour.
2
Pour batter into 2 9x5 inch loaf pans.
3
Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.

Very nice bread! I enjoyed the molasses and made it into 5 mini loaves which I baked for 45 minutes. I made them for our Women's ministries and we give bread to visitors. Thanks! Made for KK's Chef's Pick tag.

This is sooo good! I've never worked with graham flour before. I used half white sugar and half brown. I used dark cane syrup instead of molasses,as I don't care for molasses. I added some sunflower seeds just for the heck of it. It turned out perfect! I enjoyed s piece of it while still a little warm with some honey butter I'd made. Yum! Great recipe! I've been looking to make a few breads, cookies and candy as I'm making my Christmas gifts this year. Love this bread!

This was a very tasty sweet bread, CoffeeB, we loved it. The bread was sweet, rich, moist and dense. I used golden raisins as my dh is allergic to nuts. The flavor of this bread is incredible. I served it sliced thin with a little butter. I used finely ground graham cracker crumbs in place of the flour. The result was a very tasty sweet bread, that tasted as good as it smelled while baking. Thanks so much for sharing your grammas recipe.

I was about ready to order graham flour from Amazon.com, but my special ingredient-finding-sleuth was able to track down some for me & saved the day! This makes for a very dense (& MOST SATISFYING!) bread, especially when I used almost 2 cups of raisins, a dark molasses & 3/4 cup of pistachio nuts! This is one of those breads I fully intend to make during the end-of-year holidays & I'll follow Hokies' tip & sub dried cranberries for the raisins (love 'em both, you know)! Thanks for sharing such a great keeper! [Tagged made & reviewed as a bonus for a special chef in the current Summer Spectacular]
