Notes
- As with all quick breads, measuring the flour correctly is essential to getting good results. To measure properly, loosen the flour by giving it a good stir with a spoon or whisk, then spoon the flour into a measuring cup until piled above the rim of the measuring cup. Finally, level the top of the flour with the flat side of a knife. If measuring by weight, a standard cup of flour should weigh 4.25 ounces.
Too much flour will make your bread dry and hard, too little and it will cause the bread to fall apart. - Cream butter and sugar about two minutes until light, fluffy, and pale yellow. Do not overmix.
- When adding dry ingredients, mix until just blended and you see no streaks of flour. Overmixing can cause hard, tough bread.
