Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. In a light-colored saucepan, melt ½ cup of butter over medium heat until golden brown and nutty, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Toast 1 cup of pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently for 4-5 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup brown sugar.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the cooled browned butter with 2 room-temperature eggs and ¾ cup buttermilk until smooth.
  5. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in the cooled, toasted pecans.
  7. Pour the batter into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan and bake at 350°F for 55-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow the pecanbread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
