COMMENTS:
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.
