  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla (or orange extract)
  • 2 cups flour (all-purpose, stir before measuring)

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup walnuts (chopped)
  • 1 cupdates (chopped) 
  • 5 tablespoons butter (melted)

  2. Sift together the dry ingredients, including sugar. Add to milk and egg mixture. Mix until well moistened.
