Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 cups (300g) wholewheat flour
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup low fat buttermilk
  • 1½ tsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rosemary, chopped
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 375F/190c
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, whisking occasionally. When you smell a nutty aroma and see brown flecks forming at the bottom of the plan, remove from the heat and set aside and allow to cool (if you have never browned butter, I find the set by step in the notes section helpful).
  3. Whisk the flour, baking powder, soda and salt in a bowl
  4. In a second bowl, combine the egg, buttermilk, honey, rosemary and cooled butter
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until a dough forms
  6. Knead for a couple of minutes in the bowl
  7. Shape the dough into a rounded loaf shape, and put onto a greased baking sheet
  8. Cut a cross into the top of the loaf
  9. Bake for about 35 minutes until a knife comes out clean
  10. Cool on a wire rack before slicing and gobbling
