- Alternately add flour mixture and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- While still warm, brush melted butter over the entire surface of the bread.
- Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish, then roll the buttered bread in the mixture until fully coated.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For extra donut-like flavor, you can double the cinnamon sugar coating. Store leftovers wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days.
