Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 egg
- 2 cups buttermilk*
- ¼ cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°.
- Combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine egg, buttermilk, and butter.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients. Stir to combine. Avoid overmixing. Pour into a greased 9x5 loaf pan. (I use a glass one.) Bake for 60-70 minutes until a knife inserted into the center through the top comes out without wet crumbs.
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges. Flip pan over to remove the bread. Serve the bread with honey-butter.
Notes
*To make a buttermilk substitute: Put 2 tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice into a 2-cup measure. Add milk to the 2-cup mark. Let sit for 5 minutes. Then use as directed.
