  • 1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup AP flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Place the Tbsp of lemon juice in the bottom of a cup measure, then fill the rest of the cup with milk for a total of 1 cup. Set aside for a few minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, AP flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  • Add the milk mixture, sugar, egg and molasses and whisk together by hand until just combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased and floured loaf pan, (or just use the non-stick spray that has the flour in it already), and bake immediately at 350 for 50-60 mins. (It is done when toothpick comes out clean from center.)
