Raisin and Walnut Quick Bread

Ingredients:
3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
2 cups plain, white flour or whole wheat flour
1/2 cup raisins
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup walnuts
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon oil

Procedures:
In a large bowl, add the ingredients in the following order:

1. Add 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk. Ensure that the milk is at room temperature.
2. Then add 2 cups of flour. For a healthier version use whole wheat flour instead of plain white flour.
3. Add 1/2 cup of raisins or sultanas.
4. Add 1 egg. Ensure that the egg is at room temperature.
5. Add 1/2 cup brown sugar.
6. Add 1/4 cup walnuts. 
7. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda to the mixture.
8. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt.
9. Add 1 teaspoon oil.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly till you get a smooth and even texture, one that is not too wet and not too dry. If the mixture is too wet, add a small amount of flour till you achieve the right consistency. And vice versa, add a little milk if the mixture is slightly dry.

Form the dough into a loaf.  Place the dough mixture into a suitable oven dish, and bake at 350 degrees F till golden brown. It should take approximately 20 minutes cooking time for the mixture to bake depending on your oven.

Let the Raisin and Walnut Quick Bread cool on a wire rack.  Slice and add your favorite toppings - butter or jam if desired.
