Not all breads take the whole day to make. With these quick recipes, bread can be served piping hot in about an hour.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and flour one 8 1/2" by 4 1/2" loaf pan (or spray nonstick pan with butter spray). In large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a mixing bowl with electric mixer on high, beat butter and sugar 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well. Beat in buttermilk. Add flour mixture, with mixer on low, stir just until blended. Spoon into prepared pan. Bake 55-65 minutes, until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on rack 5 minutes. Un-mold, cool for 1 hour before slicing. |
