Updated on Aug 9, 2012

I love making quick breads and i've been using this particular bread base for a very long time. I use it for everything EXCEPT ZUCCHINI. My family loves the flavour and the fact that it stays sticky on top. (Mmm). This is one recipe that they demand every year for the holidays.

How To Make quick bread base

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350F and grease the loaf pans liberally.

    In a large bowl cream sugar, butter and margarine until slightly fluffy.
  • Step 3
    In a small bowl combine sour milk and baking soda, then set aside.

    Add eggs to sugar mix and mix well.
