Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep & Preheat
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
2. Make the Batter
-
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
-
Add melted butter, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla. Stir until just combined (a few lumps are fine—overmixing = dense bread!).
3. Add the Topping
-
Pour batter into the prepared pan.
-
Brush the top with melted butter.
-
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the batter.
4. Bake to Golden Perfection
-
Bake for 45–50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
The top should be crackled and golden.
5. Cool & Serve
-
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
-
Slice and enjoy warm with butter, coffee, or a drizzle of honey!
