Description

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
• 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
• 1 egg
• 2/3 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1.2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons black coffee
• 2 cups flour
• Neutrally flavored oil for frying
• Powdered sugar for serving

Directions

• Add butter and the pecans to a small saucepan or skillet over medium high heat and stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes until they start to darken and brown on the edges. Remove the pan from heat and pour them onto a separate bowl or plate
• Whisk together the sugar and egg in a medium mixing bowl. Add the salt, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, coffee and buttermilk and stir well, then whisk in the flour until you have a very thick batter. Add the pecans last and stir to combine.
• Heat about 1 quart of oil in a high-sided skillet or dutch oven (or a deep-fryer) to around 350 degrees F (180C) if using a thermometer or just medium high heat.
• Use a dough scoop or large tablespoon to carefully drop about 2 tablespoon sized scoops of the batter into the hot oil. Cook for around 90 seconds on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from oil to a plate lined with paper towels and cool for about 5 minutes. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately. (P.S. These are also great drizzled and/or dipped in maple syrup, chocolate syrup, or even caramel!!!)
