Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 ℉.
  • Mix Cinnamon and Sugar in a bowl and set aside.
  • Prepare a loaf pan with baking spray, or butter or vegetable oil and coated and flour.
  • Cream together the butter, sugar, and eggs. Once it’s combined, add the buttermilk, flour, and baking soda. Mix together until just combined. Try not to over-mix the batter.

Notes

  • If using salted butter, omit added salt.
  • Measure out the flour using the spoon and swipe method of fluffing up the ingredients and then spooning into the measure cups and swiping the excess off the top with a knife. If you dip the measuring cup directly into the flour it can pack down and you will add too much flour to the recipe.
  • You can make your own buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice into the measuring cup, and then filling the remaining amount with whole milk. Let stand for 5 minutes before using. 
  • This recipe can easily be doubled to make two loafs of bread. 
  • For an easy cinnamon raisin bread, add ⅓ cup raisins to the batter.
  • This bread will last up to three days tightly wrapped at room temperature or up to a month frozen.
