Amish Friendship Bread

[Miss Amy]

It sounds wonderful.

My husband makes a great meal using 1/4ed cabbage wrapped in a few slices of bacon, add butter and wrap in tinfoil and bake in the oven. Because the dutch oven is sealled and self basting, you can do it without the tinfoil in it.

Pour three one cup starters into three (1) gallon zip lock bags.
Give two starters away to friends with a copy of the starter instructions. (You should have one starter to mix, one to keep, and two to give away)

To the remaining batter in the bowl add:
1 Cup canola or other oil
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 Cup milk
3 large eggs
1 Cup sugar
2 Cups plain flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 Cup raisin
2 small boxes of instant vanilla pudding

In a separate bowl, mix 1 tsp cinnamon with 3 tbsp sugar and sprinkle well in a greased pan before pouring batter into (one) 9x13 or (two) loaf pans.

Bake at 325 degrees for 45 min or 1-hour of two loafs are used or until done.

P.S. All flour that is used is plain flour. And keep the bag out on the counter, do not keep in fridge. The milk needs to ferment.
