Recipe: Peanut Butter Bread (using orange zest, 1980's)

PEANUT BUTTER BREAD

"For convenience, best flavor and easy slicing, make this loaf the day before serving."

3/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 egg
1 1/4 cup milk
1 Tbsp grated orange rind

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan; set aside.

In small bowl, with a fork, beat peanut butter and butter or margarine until fluffy.

In medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; add to peanut butter mixture, mixing only until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In small bowl, beat egg slightly, stir in milk and orange rind; stir into flour mixture just until moistened. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 1 hour or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool in pan 10 minutes before inverting onto wire cake rack to cool completely.

Makes 1 (9x5-inch loaf)
