| Here's a recipe from an old cook book of my mom's (doesn't say how long
to cook)
1 1/2 cups white flour
2 1/2 tsps soda
1 1/2 tsps salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup shortening
1 cup raisins
1 egg
2 cups sour milk
3/4 cup molasses
Sift white flour, soda, salt and sugar, add whole wheat flour, cut in
shortening, add raisins and mix well; add egg, well beaten, milk and
molasses to dry ingredients. mix only till flour is dampened. Bake in
350 oven. Makes two loaves.

| My recipe is similar to .1 however I steam the bread, in greased cans,
for 3-4 hours!
Place prepared batter in greased cans. Cover with waxed paper that you
have buttered and pleated (the pleat allows for expansion). Tie on the
waxed paper with string to secure. Place in a large pot and pour in
boiling water to just over 2/3 of can. (Place a few coins in the
bottom of the pot - they will dance while the water boils - when they
stop dancing top up the water ASAP!) Cover pot with tight fitting lid
and let water just boil topping up as needed. When topping up the
water using boiling water - it keeps the breads cooking evenly.
Cooked this way your bread will be incredibly moist and rich.
