Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread
Ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped pecans until they become fragrant. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the toasted pecans, reserving a handful for topping the bread.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the reserved pecans over the batter.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Feel free to adjust the sweetness by increasing the sugar amount or adding ingredients like honey or maple syrup. You can also experiment with adding cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor. Enjoy your Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread!
