A pleasant anise flavor distinguishes this from other quick breads. I've found that the old-fashioned flavor appeals to all.—Henrietta Tenhage, Fergus, Ontario

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
