Whistler baking

We are up at Whistler for New Years and in the condo we have a lovely kitchen (OK it's small but we have it stocked pretty well.)  I was in charge of making dinner so I made Dutch dill potato soup and baked some Hovis bread. 

I first was introduced to Hovis bread on Denman Island at the farm market.  On one of our visits I asked whether she gave out her recipe and she didn't used to but now is getting older so she happily gave it to me.

The nice thing about the bread is that it is a quick bread.  Which means that it takes very little prep and it is very hard to screw up.  Just mix all the dry ingredients and then add the buttermilk mix and then put in the pan and bake, easy peasy.
