2 1/2 c Flour 3 ts Baking powder
1 1/4 c Buttermilk 1 ts Salt
1/2 c Sugar 1 ts Vanilla
1/2 c Packed brown sugar 1/2 ts Baking soda
1/4 c Shortening 1 c Small gumdrops cut into 1/2
2 Eggs 1/2 c Chopped nuts
Beat all ingredients except gumdrops and nut in a large mixer bowl on
low speed for 15 seconds. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl
constantly, 30 seconds. Stir in gumdrops and nuts. Pour into a 9 X 5
inch loaf pan that has been greased on the bottom only. Bake at 350F
for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center
comes out clean. Loosen sides of loaf from the pan. Remove bread from
the pan and cool completely on wire rack. For best results, wrap and
refrigerate at least 24 hours before slicing. Refrigerate no longer
than 1 week.
