How to make acorn 'corn' bread - poor and bored series part 2

Hadn't even intended to do a 'part 2' so soon, or on a related topic, but a nice person commented on my last blog that they wanted this recipe, so here we are, then.

This makes acorn bread. It's like a 'corn' bread, but far less sweet and with a mild nutty taste. 

INGREDIENTS: 

1 cup acorn flour (read my last blog about processing acorns)

1 cup flour (any all purpose flour should do, I reckon)

2 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp baking soda

2 large eggs

1/2 cup honey

1/4 oil or butter

1 cup milk (buttermilk is especially good for this!)

RECIPE:

1) Preheat the oven to 375°f 

2) Mix all of the dry ingredients

3) Add the rest of the ingredients and blend well until smooth

4) Pour into a 10" frying pan, or a 9"x13" baking pan. It doesn't rise much, so you can go maybe 3/4 full on that frying pan if you have enough batter. 

5) Bake at 375⁰f for 25 minutes (check it with a toothpick)

The acorns will bale pretty dark, so over all it should look a golden brown, but with a more DARK brown where there was contact with the pan.

It's actually a fairly bland taste and a nice texture, but applying a goodly lathering of butter and honey wakes up the flavor a bit more. 

See my photos for a picture of one a made with the recipe imposed right on it 😊 

Enjoy!
