Instructions (3 steps)

01Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease an 8-by-4-inch or 9-by 5-inch loaf pan, preferably nonstick.
02If using buttermilk or yogurt, ignore this step. Make soured milk: warm milk gently -- 1 minute in the microwave is sufficient, just enough to take the chill off -- and add vinegar. Set aside.
03Mix together dry ingredients. Stir molasses into buttermilk, yogurt or soured milk. Stir liquid into dry ingredients (just enough to combine) then pour into loaf pan. Bake until firm and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes before removing from pan.
