Nut Bread

For best results, mix with a wooden spoon, not with an electric mixer. It will overmix and become tough.

2 cups white sugar

2 eggs

2 Tbsp. cooking oil

1 tsp. vanilla extract

4 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

2 cups buttermilk

1-2 cups chopped walnuts

Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans or 16 mini loaf pans.

In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla until smooth using a wooden spoon.

Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; stir into the sugar mixture alternately with the buttermilk just until mixed. Stir in the walnuts.

Divide the batter evenly between pans.  Bake for 55 minutes (for 2 loaves) or 25 minutes (for the mini loaves) in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the crown comes out clean.

Allow the bread to cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the pans, and wrap in aluminum foil.
