 Ingredients

For the Bread:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

1 cup buttermilk

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup chopped pecans

For the Honey Butter Glaze:

¼ cup honey

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

½ tsp vanilla extract

 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

Flour

Sugar

Baking powder

Baking soda

Salt

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together:

Buttermilk

Melted butter

Eggs

Vanilla extract

Step 4: Combine

Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.

Gently fold in chopped pecans.

Step 5: Bake

Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top.

Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Prepare the Glaze

While bread bakes, stir together the honey, melted butter, and vanilla in a small bowl.

Step 7: Glaze & Cool

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Transfer to a wire rack.

Brush generously with the honey butter glaze. Let it soak in for 10 minutes before slicing.
