| Ingredients |
2½ cups flour. 4 teaspoons baking powder. 1 teaspoon salt. ¼ cup shortening. 1 egg, well beaten. ½ cup milk (approximately). 2 tablespoons sugar. 1 teaspoon cinnamon. ½ cup blanched shredded almonds. Candied cherries, halved. |
| Instructions | Mix and sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening. Combine egg and milk. Add gradually to dry ingredients until a soft dough is formed. Roll 1-3 inch thick on a floured board. Dot all over with 2 extra tablespoons butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon, almonds and cherries. Roll lengthwise and place on a greased baking sheet. Now, with scissors, cut almost through into ¾-inch slices. Turn each slice partly on its side away from centre. Garnish every other slice with a half a cherry after brushing the loaf over with melted butter. Bake at 425 degrees F. for 25 minutes or until browned. |
