Ingredients
- Salt
- Butter
- Eggs
- Baking powder
- Milk
- Baking soda
- Egg
- Flour
- Buttermilk
- Cooking spray
Directions
- Set the oven to 350F
- Spray a standard loaf pan with cooking spray.
- I like to line it with parchment paper so that I can lift it out after baking for easy slicing.
- That's optional.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, extract, syrup and buttermilk together until well blended.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flours, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Toss in the fruits and nuts, and add to the wet ingredients.
- Mix well.
- The batter will be stiff, but if it seems too stiff, add in a little more buttermilk.
- Turn the dough into the pan and smooth it out evenly.
- Bake for about 45-50 minutes, until it is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- The bread is best eaten toasted, with butter.
- Keep the cooled loaf well wrapped in plastic.
