I like making bread. I love the way it makes my house smell. I love to eat a piece warm from the oven. I am hoping to harvest the last of my herbs this weekend. Mother Nature hopefully won't freeze them out this week. I can bring in some thyme and give this recipe a whirl!
1/2 C. butter, softened
3/4 C. sugar
1 egg
1/2 C. buttermilk
1/2 C. sour cream
1 3/4 C. flour
2 tbsp. minced fresh thyme
1 tbsp. grated lemon peel
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Confectioner's sugar
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Combine buttermilk and sour cream. Combine the flour, thyme, lemon peel, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with the buttermilk mixture, mixing well after each addition.
Transfer to a greased 8x4 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Cool completely; sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.

I made this tonight...if it tastes half as good as it smells, it's a great recipe!
