I keep seeing a recipe for Amish cinnamon bread so, that's what I did today.  We have an Amish community about 45 minutes from us and it is oh so good.  There is a restaurant and a cheese house that sells all things Amish love to go there.  This one is from www.redflycreations.com


                                              Amish Cinnamon Bread (makes two loaves)


1 c. butter, softened
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 c. buttermilk or 2 c. milk plus 2 Tbls. vinegar or lemon juice
4 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda

    cinnamon/sugar mixture
2/3 c. sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon

Cream together butter, 2 c. sugar, and eggs.  Add milk, flour, and baking soda.  Put 1/2 of batter (or a little less)   greased loaf pans (1/4 in each pan.)  Mix in separate bowl the 2/3 c. sugar and cinnamon.  Sprinkle 3/4 of cinnamon mixture to top of the 1/2 batter in each pan.  Add remaining batter to pans; sprinkle with last of cinnamon topping.  Swirl with a knife.  Bake 350 for 40-50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in pan 20 minutes before removing from pan.

My note:  Well it's baking so, it's done as the recipe says :)  It did take a little longer than 50 minutes to cook.

This is soooooooooooooooo good!!!!!!  Taste just like cinnamon toast one of my favorites and it's not real sweet.  I topped it with honey butter :)  What makes this easy is there is not any kneading.  Real Amish cinnamon bread starts with a sourdough starter but, I think the addition of buttermilk is the key.  Will be doing this again I froze one loaf and am currently eating the other one.  Enjoy!!!!
