This is a recipe that I came up with, combining several recipes that used molasses.
Sorghum can usually always be used in place of molasses in a recipe. In some cases the use of the word molasses is interchangeable with sorghum because the name molasses is, occasionally, used for any dark rich syrup.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup sorghum
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 Tbls butter, melted
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 chopped, lightly toasted, black walnut (or any available nut)
Directions
- Combine egg, sorghum, sugar and melted butter.
- Mix together all dry ingredients and add half to sorghum mixture. Stir well.
- Add buttermilk to combine, then add the other half of the dry ingredients. Stir well and pour into a full size loaf pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 mins.
- Remove loaf from pan after it has cooled for 10 minutes, then cool completely before enclosing in a bag or wrapping with plastic.
