  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it has a nutty aroma and is golden brown.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter and sugar, and mix until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is browned but not burnt for the best flavor.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
