Ingredients
Scale
Bread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
- 3 tablespoons buttermilk (plus more as needed)
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- Nonpareils
Instructions
- Bread – Move rack to upper third in oven and preheat oven to 350°. Line a 9×5 inch aluminum loaf pan with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. In a smaller bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, butter, and almond extract. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix just until combined. Fold in sprinkles.
- Transfer batter to loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until center of bread is set. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer bread to a wire rack to cool completely. The buttermilk bread is dense so it will take 1-2 hours to cool completely.
- Glaze – Once bread has cooled completely, prepare glaze. Whisk together powdered sugar, buttermilk, and corn syrup. Adjust buttermilk as needed to get a thick pourable consistency. Spoon over bread and top with nonpareils.
