 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2 3/4   c            All-purpose flour
  2 1/2   ts           Baking powder
    1/2   ts           Salt
    3/4   c            Butter or margarine
  1 1/4   c            Sugar, divided
  3                    Eggs
  1 1/2   ts           Vanilla extract
  1       c            Dairy sour cream
  2       ts           Cinnamon, ground
    1/2   c            Pecans, chopped

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine flour, balking
 powder, and salt in a small bowl until well blended.
 In a large bowl, beat butter and 1 cup of the sugar
 until creamy and light. Beat in eggs, one at a time
 and vanilla until well blended. Beat in flour mixture
 and sour cream, alternately, beginning and ending with
 the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, combine
 remaining 1/4 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Spoon about
 one third of the batter into greased and floured 9 x
 5-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle with one third of the
 cinnamon mixture. Repeat with remaining batter and
 cinnamon mixture until all is used up. Sprinkle the
 top of the bread with pecans, pressing them in
 slightly with your fingers. Bake 50 to 55 minutes, or
 until a wooden pick inserted in the middle comes out
 clean. Cool bread 10 minutes in the pan on a wire
 rack. Remove from pan and cool completely on rack.
