HOOTENHOLLER WHISKEY QUICK BREAD



Hootenholler Whiskey Quick Bread image

This recipe is adapted from the "I Hate to Cook Book" by Peg Bracken, the 1960 iconic bestseller that had the nerve to say then what so many women felt: They liked cooking fine, as long as they didn't have to cook all the time. As her recipes were meant to do, this bread comes together fast, and you don't need to make a special trip to the grocery store for it. It will also keep for a long time, especially if it is soaked with a little whiskey every now and then. The first step is up to you.

Time 2h30m

Yield Makes 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup bourbon, plus more for you
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
1 cup flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Steps:

  • First, take the bourbon out of the cupboard and have a small snort for medicinal purposes. Now, preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Butter and flour an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Using a mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the beaten eggs, a little at a time.
  • Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg, and add to the batter. Then beat in the milk. Combine the molasses and baking soda and mix into the batter. To help prevent the raisins and pecans from sinking, dust them with flour, shaking off excess. Mix them, along with the bourbon, into the batter until combined. Transfer to the loaf pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes up clean, 1 3/4 to 2 hours.

  • Preheat oven to 375º. Combine salt, pepper and paprika and then season chicken thighs evenly all over with mixture.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and then add 4 tablespoons of butter. Place chicken skin side down and brown well, about 5 minutes. Turn and brown other side for about 3 more minutes. Do this in two batches and adjust heat accordingly as needed. Remove to a large Dutch oven with lid, or casserole dish.
  • Drain off butter and wipe pan relatively clean. Add 2 more tablespoons butter and when melted, add the mushrooms. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes, adding a little more butter if dry and starting to burn. Sprinkle with flour and stir to coat for about 30 seconds. Pour in chicken stock and sherry, simmer for 2 - 3 minutes, stirring and scraping up any browned bits. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange the artichoke pieces around and in between the chicken thighs. Pour the mushroom-sherry sauce over the chicken and artichokes. Cover and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Serve with rice or potatoes.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5. First published 9/18/2000. A long time ago my stepmother gave me a copy of “The Compleat I Hate to Cook Book,” by Peg Bracken. I was puzzled. I certainly don’t hate to cook, and I’m not one of those people who only makes recipes out of “meals in minutes” cookbooks. I couldn’t see why I’d use this cookbook.
