3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c sugar
3 Tbsp shortening
1 egg beaten
1/2 c nuts chopped
1- (12) fl oz can evaporated milk

  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller loaf pan will make the bread too thick and dense.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 60-70 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to hold its shape.

Conclusion:
