¾ cup brown butter, cooled and solidified but still soft
1 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
⅓ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a loaf tin with parchment or spray well with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, beat together brown butter and granulated sugar until fluffy and lightened in color. Beat in eggs until light and fluffy, then add vanilla extract.
In a medium size bowl, whisk together flour, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt.
Mix in about ⅓ of the dry ingredients into the above creamed sugar mixture, mixing until just barely combined. Then mix in about ½ of the buttermilk. Add another ⅓ of dry ingredients, then ½ of buttermilk, then final ⅓ of dry ingredients, mixing between each until just barely incorporated. Be careful not to over mix.
Bake in preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, until loaf appears set and toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before serving.
