Story Time
I can take no credit for this one, it was all my sister Mary! During her spring break this year she flew out for a visit, cleaned my place and baked!! Don’t you all wish you had a sister like this? And what’s baking without a dance party? My siblings sure do have some pretty sweet moves…
Growing up, I can’t recall a Lenten season when our mom didn’t make this. I’m not sure what made this the perfect recipe for Lent but I’m assuming it had something to do with its lack of chocolate.
If you aren’t a fan of raisins you can certainly make this without them, however I find that they add the perfect hint of sweetness to such a dense bread.
And is it even possible to make something like this without having a stick of butter nearby? No.
So bake, dance and enjoy!
