Description

Mouthwatering sweet southern pecan delight combines classic Southern charm with irresistible nutty richness. Crisp pecans and creamy caramel layers promise a delectable journey through traditional Southern dessert magic you won’t want to miss.


Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups pecans, finely chopped

Wet Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by generously coating the interior with butter or nonstick spray to ensure easy release.
  2. In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and buttermilk until the mixture transforms into a uniform, glossy consistency.
  3. Sift the self-rising flour and salt into the liquid ingredients, using gentle folding motions to integrate them without creating a tough texture.
  4. Infuse the batter with rich vanilla extract, then delicately incorporate the chopped pecans, ensuring an even distribution throughout the mixture.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, smoothing the surface to create an even layer that will bake uniformly.
  6. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, monitoring for a golden-brown surface and checking doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center – it should emerge with minimal moist crumbs.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the pecan delight rest in the baking dish for approximately 15 minutes, allowing it to set and cool slightly before cutting into servings.

Notes
