Baking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredient List:

2 eggs
3 Tablespoons melted butter
2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
2 cups buttermilk
4 cups all purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup golden raisins or chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, gently beat the 2 eggs with a fork.

Step 3: Add in the brown sugar and melted butter.

Step 4: Stir in the buttermilk and mix until fully incorporated. 

Step 5: In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Step 6: Add the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until well mixed. This can also be done with an electric mixer.

Step 7: Stir in raisins or nuts by hand.

Step 8:   Grease the bottoms only of 2-9" x 5" loaf baking pans. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans.

Step 9:  Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes until the bread starts to pull away from the sides of the pan and it golden brown on top. Check the center of the bread with a toothpick. It should come out clean.

Step 10:  Let stand 10 minutes before removing from the pans. Allow the bread to cool completely.
