Here's what we enjoyed on Easter Sunday morning,
warm from the oven, with a side of scrambled eggs, and a cup of coffee:
Cowboy Bread, which is more like a snack cake. This recipe comes from the Pasadena ISD school cafeterias, by way of the Houston Chronicle. Those lucky kids - I thought school cafeterias cooking their own food was a thing of the past...
Cowboy Bread
3 c. flour
2 sticks melted unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 t. salt
1 t. baking soda
1 c. chopped nuts (I used walnuts)
1 t. cinnamon
1 c. buttermilk*
1 egg
*Make your own by combining 1 c. evaporated milk with 1 T vinegar. Let sit awhile to curdle.
It was a moist, delicious cake that made the whole house smell good! I froze half of it for my cowboys to enjoy on a busy school morning soon...
Looks like a fabulous recipe! LOVE the photos of your family in your sidebar. I'm the oldest and only girl with 3 younger brothers...how lovely. So glad I saw this...pinning now!
