Ice Cream Bread
1 pint Premium ice cream (softened)
1 1/2 Cups Self-rising flour
This two-ingredient bread is terrific any time of day. Pop it in the oven while you're fixing supper, or serve afternoon tea. Or toast for breakfast. Use your favorite flavor of ice cream to make this - strawberry to walnut ice cream - any flavor you want. Premium ice creams yielded the richest taste and texture, but less expensive brands work also. Results weren't good with low-fat ice cream. Select premium brand like Hagan Daaz. Butter Pecan and Rum Raisin are very good.
Stir together ice cream and flour, stirring just until flour is moistened. Spoon batter into a greased and floured 8-4 inch loaf pan. Bake 350 º F for 40 to 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Batter may be divided in 2 greased 5X3 in loaf pans. Bake 350 º F for 20 to 25 minutes. Bake in tube pan at 350 º F degrees for 50 minutes. Recipe - from Southern Living Nov 2005 page 208
