Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup fresh milk with 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar in it)
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups rhubarb cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*F In a mixing bowl combine butter and brown sugar. Add egg and mix well, then scrape bowl. Slowly add buttermilk until fully incorporated. Add flour 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each time. Add salt and baking soda, mix then scrape sides of bowl. Gently stir in rhubarb. Pour mixture into 2 small bread pans. In a separate bowl combine white sugar, cinnamon and pecans. Sprinkle pecan mixture on top of bread loaves. Bake for 30 - 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean from loaf. Let cool for 5 minutes in pan before flipping onto a wire rack to fully cool. Enjoy with butter or by itself.

Tips:

  • Use fresh rhubarb: Fresh rhubarb stalks should be firm and crisp, with deep red or pink color. Avoid stalks that are wilted, bruised, or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Before using, wash and trim the rhubarb stalks. Cut them into small pieces, about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan with a lid: A loaf pan with a lid will help to create a moist bread. If you don't have a loaf pan with a lid, you can cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake the bread at the right temperature: The bread should be baked at 350°F for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing: Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
