âMy husband loves this bread,â writes Sondra Feldstein from Bondurant, Iowa. âWhenever I ask him to suggest a nice tea bread, he says, âWhat about that orange-pecan stuff?ââ Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, softened |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 egg, separated |
2 teaspoons grated orange peel |
3/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/8 teaspoon baking soda |
dash salt |
1/4 cup orange juice |
1/3 cup chopped pecans |
glaze: |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 tablespoon orange juice |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk and orange peel; beat until blended. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with orange juice.
2. In another small bowl, beat egg white until soft peaks form. Fold egg white and pecans into batter.
3. Pour into a 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
4. Combine the glaze ingredients in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour over warm bread. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Yield: 1 loaf (6 slices).
