Sally Lunn bread is normally made as a yeast bread, but this recipe from an old Joy cookbook is for a very quick version. I thought I'd try it and see how it works.

How To Make quick sally lunn bread

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400°. Grease a large loaf pan, or 3 mini-loaf pans.
  • Step 2
    Sift together dry ingredients. Cream together shortening and sugar. Beat the eggs one at a time into the creamed mixture.
  • Step 3
    Add the sifted ingredients to the batter in 3 parts, alternately with the milk. Stir batter lightly until the ingredients are just blended.
  • Step 4
    Bake in a greased loaf pan (or 3 mini-loaf pans) about 35-40 minutes (less time needed for the mini loaf pans - it took 28 minutes for my loaves).
  • Step 5
    Cool in pans 5 minutes, then turn out on rack. Cool slightly before slicing.
