Pecan loaves

3 Loaves

Quantity Ingredient
cup Sifted all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Mace
½ teaspoon Nutmeg
¾ cup Brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup Chopped pecans
cup Quaker Oats, uncooked (quick or old-fashioned)
1⅓ cup Milk
1 Egg; beaten
¼ cup Vegetable oil

Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and spices into bowl. Stir in sugar, pecans and oats. Add remaining ingredients; stir only until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour batter into 3 greased empty cans, about 2 cup capacity.

Bake in preheated moderate oven (350 F.) about 50 minutes. Loosen edges; remove from cans immediately; cool thoroughly. Wrap cooled bread and store one day before slicing.

NOTE: For variety, use 1 cup chopped pitted dates or prunes in place of pecans in above recipe.
