Directions
From: George McTyre <MCTYREG@...> Date: 6 Jan 1995 21:45:26 -0500 (My friend Linda Teichelmann said her sister finally got their Grandmother to show them how to make it, but she didn't follow a recipe and didn't measure anything.)
Mix yeast and water and shortening until dissolved. Add molasses and then flour until right consistency. Let rise in a greased bowl until double in size. Then kneed on a floured board, adding more flour if neccessary.
Divide dough into 3 equal part and place in greased loaf pans and let rise again. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
