Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients

3 cup sugar, granulated 3 1/2 cup flour, all-purpose 1/2 tsp salt 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp nutmeg 4 large eggs 1 cup vegetable oil 2 cup pumpkin (cooked) 2/3 cup water 1 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped 1 cream cheese (optional, for serving)	Advertisements

Preparation
 
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter your containers well.

Sift the dry ingredients together into a large bowl. Make a well in
the center of the dry ingredients, and add the eggs, oil, pumpkin and
water. Beat thoroughly. It s easier to get all the lumps out if you
use an electric mixer. Stir in the walnuts with a wooden spoon.

Pour the batter into the containers, filling each only half to
two-thirds full. Bake for 60-90 minutes, depending on the sizes of
your containers. If you re using a very small container, start
checking much sooner. The bread is done when a toothpick in the
middle comes out clean.

Cool about ten minutes, then loosen the edges of the bread with a
knife, and turn out of the pans to cool the rest of the way on a
rack. For baking containers, you can use a loaf pan, metal cans, or
whatever. I usually use 1-pound coffee cans, and it takes three of
them. If you want tiny loaves, you could probably use soup cans.

NOTES:

* A dessert bread made from pumpkins -- Every year in Half Moon Bay,
California there is a Pumpkin Festival, at which prizes are given for
the largest pumpkin in the world. Never mind that for the last two
years the winner has been in Nova Scotia: the citizens of Half Moon
Bay take pumpkins very seriously.

At Christmas time in Half Moon Bay, people give each other little
tins of this bread as presents. I also take it backpacking, because
it s pretty resistant to being squashed (and tastes fine even when it
is). Yield: 3 1-pound loaves.

* I think the nuts are important in this recipe. Unless you
absolutely hate them, leave them in.

* It s not necessary, but you can serve some good cream cheese with
it to spread on the slices if you like.

: Difficulty: easy to moderate.
