How to Make Butterscotch Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The bread should also be pulling slightly away from the sides of the pan.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
