Included in the realm of shortness (yes I was once short) were the toys and books passed down from my older sisters in all their faded and wonderful glory. "Hipstamatic" colors were incarnate in full 3 dimensional glory with every article of playtime enjoyment. One such article of fun-time was a little book with a jacket of full faded glory called "How to make Possums's Honey Bread". I have fond memories of digging this book out and making some great bread with the help of mom and below is the long lost recipe!
1 1/2 cup hot water
2 tsp. salt
1 stick butter
2 packages dry yeast
6 cups flour
- Stir all ingredients, except flour, until butter is melted.
- Add flour 2 cups at a time.
- Knead a few times
- Dump into a greased bowl
- Turn over until all sides are greased
- Cover with a damp cloth and let raise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours
- Punch dough down, cut in half and put in a greased baking dish
- Let reaise 1 hour
- Bake at 350 for 45 minutes
- Enjoy
