- 2 tbsp. of butter shopping list
- 1 cup of honey shopping list
- 1 egg shopping list
- rind of one tangelo orange shopping list
- 3/4 cup of fresh orange juice shopping list
- 2 cups of broken pecans shopping list
How to make it
- Start oven 325 degrees
- Grease 9x5x2 loaf pan.
- Sift flour and dry ingredients.
- Then cream butter and stir in honey, unbeaten egg and grated orange rind.
- Now add the flour and orange juice, alternately to the butter honey mixture.
- Stirring well after each addition.
