1-1/2 tablespoons BAKING POWDER

1 tablespoon SALT

Beat in honey, add vanilla. Pour into flour mixture all at once. Stir with a wooden spoon just until dry ingredients are moistened, mixture will appear lumpy. Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake 1 hour and 15 min. or until loaf tests done and top is lightly brown. Brush top with butter and let cool.

This bread tastes great toasted and spread with butter and a drizzle of honey.
