1 cup milk

1/4 cup butter

1 cup Maple Hill Farm – Barton, VT Robust maple syrup

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

3/4 cup nuts, raw, chopped, and lightly toasted

DIRECTIONS

1.Heat oven to 325 F degrees. Grease and flour a loaf baking pan.

3.In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt with a wire whisk.

4.In a large bowl, pour in some of the milk mixture. Quickly stir in the eggs. Add the remaining milk mixture and stir it until it is completely combined.

We recommend serving the bread with Maple Hill Farm – Barton, Vermont Maple Cream, Maple Jelly or Maple Butter. Plain butter works well too!
