Butter Pecan Tea Bread Recipes

DATE PECAN TEA BREAD

Packed with dates and pecans, this sweet bread is excellent on its own and even better topped with the chunky cream cheese spread. We enjoy it during the holiday season, but also for after-school and late-night snacks. -Carole Resnick, Cleveland, Ohio

BUTTERSCOTCH PECAN TEA BREAD

From Generations of Recipes, I'm not sure how butterscotch-y this would turn out but it still looks utterly delicious. Could probably also make in a bread machine using the quickbread cycle.

Steps:

Lazy way: put everything into a bread machine according to manufacturer's directions, and use the Quickbread cycle! (Mine works quite well.).
Real way: Beat the egg. Add the sugar gradually, continually beating.
Add the butter and blend.
Add the dry ingreidents alternately with the buttermilk, and blend well until mixed.
Add the nuts.
Pour into a buttered loaf pan (book recommends 8 1/2 x 2 3/4, I think 9 x 4 would work too) and bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes.

TOASTED PECAN BUTTER

This makes a great condiment at holiday brunches. I made this for a Mother's Day get-together to serve with toast and french toast, and the mothers in my life enjoyed it enough to ask for it as a Christmas present. Serve with toast, rolls, biscuits, etc. Yummy on pancakes, waffles, and croissants!

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F/165 degrees C.
Spread the pecans onto a baking sheet; toast in the preheated oven until they start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 15 minutes. Watch carefully as they bake, they burn quickly. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Pulse the brown sugar, butter, and vanilla together in a food processor several times to thoroughly combine. Butter will be slightly fluffy. Sprinkle in the cooled nuts and pulse several times to combine. For more finely ground pecans, pulse several more times. Serve immediately, or pack into a jar with a lid and refrigerate.
