Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 cups (490 g) buttermilk
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan* with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir until mostly combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.
- Pour about 4 tablespoons of the melted butter to the prepared loaf pan, swirling to coat the bottom and sides.
- Stir the remaining melted butter into the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the loaf pan, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs, but no wet batter.
- Let the bread sit for a few minutes to allow the butter to be absorbed into the loaf before slicing.
- Serve warm.
Notes
