My husband and I have three active sons, so I'm always busy in the kitchen, writes Sharon Walker of Huntington Station, New York. This rich quick bread is a favorite. I like to cover loaves with colored plastic wrap to give as gifts. Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, softened |
1-1/3 cups sugar, divided |
1 egg |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup buttermilk |
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat the butter, 1 cup sugar and egg until blended. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to egg mixture alternately with buttermilk. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and remaining sugar. 2. Pour a third of the batter into a greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan; sprinkle with a third of the cinnamon-sugar. Repeat layers twice. Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Yield: 1 loaf. |
