Walnut Raisin Mandel Bread (Passover, Pareve)

Walnut Raisin Mandel Bread (Passover, Pareve) was pinched from <a href="http://kosherfood.about.com/od/passoverdesserts/r/Walnut-Raisin-Mandel-Bread-Passover-Pareve.htm" target="_blank">kosherfood.about.com.</a>

"This recipe for kosher for Passover Mandel Bread comes from my Savta (grandmother) Ruth. Strictly speaking, it's a bit of a divergence from classic mandel bread, as it doesn't contain almonds. (Literally translated, mandelbrot means "almond bread.") If you're a purist, you can swap the walnuts for sliced or chopped almonds. However you make them, the biscotti-like cookies make a welcome, not-too-sweet snack with coffee or tea. Tip: This recipe uses matzo cake meal (sometimes called Passover cake meal), which is simply very finely ground matzo meal. If you can't find cake meal in your market, you can make a DIY substitute by pulverizing matzo meal in a food processor. You'll need 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of matzo meal to make 1 cup of cake meal...."
