Coffee Can Boston Brown Bread

By Hklbrries

Boston Brown Bread is steamed rather than baked in an oven. You'll need a lidded pot deep enough to hold a coffee can.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup rye flour
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup cornmeal, medium grind
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup dark molasses
• 1 cup buttermilk

Preparation

Step 1

Mix flours, cornmeal, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Mix with a fork. Blend in molasses and buttermilk. Batter should be the consistency of pancake batter. Butter, or coat with cooking spray, a 13-ounce coffee can and pour in batter, filling the can no more than two-thirds full. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Fill a large stockpot with water (enough to come halfway up coffee can) and bring to a boil. Place covered can in water. Cover stockpot and steam for about 1 1/2 hours over medium heat or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the middle. Remove can from stockpot and cool on rack for 15 minutes. Remove bread from can and serve warm with cream cheese.
