Ingredients

  • Four measuring cups of all-purpose flour
  • White sugar, about 4 teaspoons
  • One Tablespoon of Baking Soda
  • One Tablespoon of Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup of margarine (softened)
  • The equivalent of one cup of buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup butter (in melted form)

Instructions

  • Turn the oven temperature up to 375 degrees F. Prepare a large baking sheet by lightly oiling it.
  • In a sizable basin, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and margarine for the dry ingredients. Whisk in the buttermilk and the egg.
  • Roll out a floured surface and knead the dough there. Form a ball using the dough and set it on a baking pan.
  • Rub the bread with a combination of melted butter and 1/4 cup of buttermilk. Cut an 'X' into the loaf's top.
  • 45-50 minutes in a preheated oven, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
