Pecan Bread

Pecan Bread

(2 loaves)

Ingredients:

½ lb. (2-sticks) Unsalted Butter

2 ½ cups Sugar

4 large Fresh Eggs

1 cup Sour Cream

1 tsp. Vanilla Extract

3 cups All-Purpose Flour

1 ½ tsp. Baking Soda

1 cup Pecans, chopped

Directions:

In a large bowl, blend the butter and sugar together. Now start adding the eggs, sour cream and vanilla into the mixture. In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking soda together before starting to add to the wet mixture. Once flour is just incorporated, add the nuts. Mix in nuts carefully and don't over mix. Pour batter into two 5x9 loaf pans that have been greased and floured. Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean.

Note: To grease and flour the pan (glass or metal) use butter or oil. Use enough to coat the insides of pan without excess. Sprinkle a little flour into pan and shake to coat sides and bottom of pan. Knock out any excess before filling with batter.
