LAURI'S YUMMY NUT BREAD



Lauri's Yummy Nut Bread image

This recipe for nut bread has been handed down from my grandmother and is sooo delicious. It's easy to make and everyone who tries it always asked for the recipe. For best results, mix with a wooden spoon, not with an electric mixer. It will overmix and become tough.
