Dad's Singing Hinnie
- 3 cups flour
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 12 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 13 cup lard or 13 cup shortening
- 34 cup golden raisin
- 12 cup candied orange peel, chopped
- 1 cup milk
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Sift flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar into mixing bowl.
- Rub in the lard with fingertips until mixture resembles crumbs.
- Stir in raisins and candied orange peel.
- Stir in milk, adding enough to make soft, slightly sticky dough.
- Turn dough onto floured board and shape into round loaf about two inches thick.
- Work dough lightly or it will be tough.
- Turn loaf floured side up and set on lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake at 400 degrees until browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (about 20 minutes).
- Cool on a rack.
- Just before serving, slice and spread with butter.
- TIP: Lard gives more flavor, but shortening makes a lighter bread.
