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.
