Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy; this makes a world of difference in the texture of the bread! Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing in the vanilla extract and buttermilk until everything is well combined. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
