Instructions

Preheat oven to 325℉ (160℃) and prepare four 6-inch mini loaf pans.
In a medium bowl, hand whisk together sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger and orange zest.
Brown your butter by placing in a small skillet on medium heat until foamy and brownish.
Pour the warm brown butter into the bowl of stand mixer and allow to cool to room temperature.
Next, add the honey, orange juice, milk, sugar, and slightly beaten eggs into the mixing bowl.
