1
Put the acorn meats into a pot with enough water to cover. Bring the water to a boil, then drain. Repeat 3 times or till the bitterness is gone (the water should be clear). Once you have leached the nuts, dry them on a cookie sheet in a low oven (about 200u00b0F) for 2 or 3 hours - till the nuts become brittle. Remove from the oven and cool.
2
Grease two loaf pans with margarine.
3
Mix together all dry ingredients, thoroughly.
4
Beat eggs, gradually adding milk. Add egg mixture alternately with honey to dry ingredients. Beat well.
5
Stir in acorns and pour evenly into loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until golden.
6
If bread is done, it will come out of pan easily when pan is turned over and tapped gently. If not, bake for another 10-15 minutes.
7
Remove bread from pan immediately when done and cool. This spicy bread always tastes better the second day when its flavors have had a chance to mellow and blend.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
