Ingredients:
1 stick butter
2 eggs
1 cup molasses
2 cups dried figs, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions:
Cream the room temperature butter in an electric mixer until fluffy. Add in the eggs and molasses and beat again. Add in the figs, lemon peel, buttermilk, and walnuts and blend for approximately one minute. Add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and blend until everything is incorporated. Grease and flour an 8″ x 4″ soufflé dish and pour in the batter. Bake at 325° F for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve with whipped cream.
If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
