Is there anything better or more comforting than a warm piece of cinnamon bread?

We invited my brother Taylor and his wife Mariah over to the farm the other day and I was surprised when they showed up with something in tow: a fresh baked loaf of Amish friendship bread that Mariah had baked!

I’m a sucker for anything sweet with cinnamon on it, especially when warmed up with butter on top. This was the best friendship bread I’ve ever had, so I immediately asked her for the recipe so I could make it for the family soon. She shared it with me, from lilluna.com. Here’s what you’re going to need:

Ingredients:

Bread

2 cups sugar
1 cup butter softened
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
4 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

2/3 cups sugar
3 tsp cinnamon

Instructions:

In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Set aside
Cream together butter, sugar, and eggs. Add buttermilk, flour, and baking soda. Divide ½ of the batter into two greased loaf pans (¼ in each pan). Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the batter in each pan, reserving about ¼ to sprinkle on the top.
Evenly add remaining batter to your two pans; sprinkle the rest of your cinnamon topping.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until baked through.
Cool for 20 minutes before removing from pan.
