Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray to ensure your bread doesn't stick.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents for a perfect rise.
- In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the bread tough.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- While the bread is still warm, brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Allow to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Chef's Tips:
• For an extra moist texture, consider adding a tablespoon of sour cream to the batter.
• Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a dense loaf.
• Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
Food Safety:
• Ensure eggs are fresh and stored properly to avoid foodborne illness.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
