Old fashion donut loaf

Ingredients

• 3 cups All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
• 2.5 teaspoons Granulated Sugar (for the batter)
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt (a pinch)
• 3 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
• 1.25 cups Buttermilk
• 2 large Eggs (room temperature)
• 0.25 cup Sour Cream
• 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter (melted)
• 0.25 cup Granulated Sugar (for cinnamon topping)
• 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

   Set the oven to 350°F (177°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the batter.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 350°F

2. Combine Dry Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 2.5 tsp granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg until evenly distributed.

   Time: PT2M

3. Add Wet Ingredients

   Create a well in the center of the dry mix and pour in the buttermilk, cracked eggs, sour cream, and melted butter. Stir until the batter is thick and uniform; it will look more like a cake batter than a traditional bread dough.

   Time: PT5M

4. Grease Loaf Pan

   Generously grease the 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non‑stick spray, making sure to coat the sides and bottom.

   Time: PT2M

5. Transfer Batter to Pan

   Spoon the thick batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

   Time: PT2M

6. Bake

   Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

   Time: PT55M

   Temperature: 350°F

7. Butter the Hot Loaf

   While the loaf is still hot, brush the top generously with melted butter so it soaks in and adds extra richness.

   Time: PT2M

8. Prepare Cinnamon‑Sugar Topping

   In a small bowl, combine 0.25 cup granulated sugar with 2 tsp ground cinnamon; stir until well blended.

   Time: PT2M

9. Add Topping

   Sprinkle the cinnamon‑sugar mixture evenly over the butter‑glazed loaf. Let it sit for 5 minutes so the topping adheres.

   Time: PT5M

10. Cool and Serve

    Remove the loaf from the pan onto a cooling rack, slice, and serve warm. Toasting a slice with a pat of butter enhances the donut‑like flavor.

    Time: PT5M
