Preheat your oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Blend the egg and buttermilk together; add all at once to the flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Stir in the butter. Pour into the prepared pan.
