This Nut Bread is a treat I make for my family at Christmas and Easter and has been in our family for at least 75 yrs. It belonged to an Aunt that passed away over 50 yrs. ago. It is easy to prepare and not too sweet so it is great any time of the year. Ingredients:

1 cup sugar |
2 cups sifted flour |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |

1 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. Beat eggs & gradually add sugar. Beat till light & fluffy.

3. Mix milk and water to egg mixture in a smaller bowl.
4. Then slowly add the milk,water and egg mixture to the flour stirring well.
