I received this recipe from a friend, Shirley M. in 1981. It has become a favorite of mine to bake at Thanksgiving and through the Fall season. The house smells wonderful, and the bread tastes even better!

    Then add the flour mixture to the mixer and mix all together until well blended, then add the nuts, mix again to combine. Pour into the 8 mini loaves and place into the oven.
