who lived near Selfrigde Field) in the Mid 1930’s. We make at least one
batch in time to be ready to eat at Christmas and often will make another
later.
It is a good way to use up left-over coffee, but it can be made with
strong instant coffee also. It is very important that you follow the instructions
about the lining in the pan and the ripening of the bread after the baking.
The pans are bread loaf size. We use the smaller size as this gives more
top sides. Richard C. Bloom, Grand Blanc.
