A wonderful tea loaf to slice and have with tea or coffee. Try it plain or spread it with butter or cream cheese. I have upped the measure of orange rind a bit and I measure the grated orange rind generously by pressing it lightly into the measuring spoon. This bread is delicious as well as quite low in fat. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, softened |
1 cup honey |
1 egg |
4 teaspoons grated orange rind |
3/4 cup fresh orange juice |
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or 3/4 cup pecans |
Directions:
1. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
2. Cream butter; beat in honey until light and creamy. Add egg and orange rind; beat well.
3. Mix in dry ingredients alternately with orange juice. Stir in nuts.
4. Pour batter into a greased or parchment lined 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Bake in a 350 F oven for about 55-65 minutes or until it tests done.
5. Let bread stand in pan for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a cooling rack and cool thoroughly before slicing.
