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

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

Add 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk. Ensure that the milk is at room temperature.

Then add 2 cups of flour. For a healthier version use whole wheat flour instead of plain white flour.

Add 1/2 cup of raisins or sultanas.

Add 1 egg. Ensure that the egg is at room temperature.

Add 1/2 cup brown sugar.

Add 1/4 cup walnuts.

Add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda to the mixture.

Add 1/4 teaspoon salt.

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 350F 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.
