Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 and 4/5 cups of milk
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 egg

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
- Make the buttermilk substitute. In a small bowl, add vinegar and milk. Whisk the milk mixture briskly to combine. Allow to stand for 5 minutes before using it in the recipe.
