Dot's Old Fashioned Pumpkin Bread

   There's snow on the ground, which was a pleasant surprise for us all, and in a few more days my grandkids will be off for winter break.  When I woke up, I felt like it's a perfect day to do some baking and make the house smell amazing!  And I always like to get some goodies stashed away. 

    This recipe comes from a widow that my father used to help.  Dot loved taking us out to dinner when we came for a visit.  Sometimes we would cook at her house or bring something in and then play a few rounds of Rummikub.  A few times I baked at her house, and one time I took pictures of a lot of her recipes so I could try them out.  I'm glad I did that.

Dot's Pumpkin Bread - Half of the recipe for 1 loaf



1.  Cream together 1/3 cup butter and 1 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy. 

2. Stir in 4 beaten  eggs  Then add 1 cup of pumpkin and 1/3 cup of water.

3.  In  a separate bowl put the dry ingredients:  
(1)  1/2 cup of white rice flour, 1/2 cup of sorghum flour,  1/2 cup of tapioca flour, 1/6 cup of brown rice flour.
(2)   1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/4 t of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon cloves, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

4.  Gradually add the dry ingredients and stir until blended.

5.  Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes.  Check with a toothpick at 35 minutes and add more time.
