I made Amish Friendship bread today. Ingredients are: 2 cups sugar..1 cup butter softened.. 2 eggs..2 cups buttermilk..4 cups flour..2 tsp baking soda..mix 2/3 cups sugar and 3 tsp cinnamon and set aside.then cream butter..sugar & eggs together. Then add the flour and baking soda. Pour 1/2 the mixture in 2 loaf pans..sprinkle some of the cinnamon suger on top..then add the remaining batter and again sprinkle on top more of the cinnamon suger mixture. Swirl with a knife in both directions. Bake at 350 for 40 to ,50 min or when a tooth pic comes out clean.let cool in pans on a rack for 20 min before removing from the pan.note: this is the recipe that does not need a starter.. One more thing I make my own buttermilk for this it called for 2 cups. Pour 2 cups milk in a bowl add 2 tablespoons of vinager or lemon juice stir and let set for 10 min now you have buttermilk.
