- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish or a loaf pan.

- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in Pecans: Gently fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
