what i made last night: sweet potato bread (original recipe)

So.  Sweet potato bread.  I had the idea to buy a disposable camera and have the prints put on a disc so I could upload pictures of the whole process to my journal.  Because without the images to go with the recipes, I feel like a fraud; not a real food blogger.  Note to self: always use the flash on a disposable camera, even if it is broad daylight and all the lights are on.  Plus the tech screwed up some of the photos; they're off center and you can see part of the next frame.  WTF, thanks.  Well anyway, for what it's worth, if you can even see what it is supposed to be, here it is.


The ingredients are: 2 cups of self rising flour, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 1/2 cups buttermilk, 3/4 cups butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 eggs, and 2 cups of mashed sweet potato. 

 

Preheat oven to 350F.  Beat eggs, then add butter and sugar.  Cream together for a minute or so before adding buttermilk and vanilla.  Then slowly incorporate the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, spice), then fold in mashed sweet potato.  

Grease your bread pans.  You can use a regular cake pan or little mini loaf pans.  I got a bunch of cute ones from Nana:
 

 

If using a regular sized pan, bake for forty to fifty minutes, if using little ones like this bake for thirty minutes.
