Walnut and lemon Loaf recipe

Sometimes a simple recipe is just what is needed with a few ingredients that are to hand. The walnuts are ready and the lemon tree still had a lemon attached so this simple Lemon and Walnut loaf was perfect. This I think is a generic recipe not Italian but nevertheless perfect with the produce from our land.

Ingredients :

⁃ 200 grams / 7 oz of flour
⁃ 200 grams / 7 oz sugar
⁃ 100 grams /3,5 oz of butter
⁃ 2 eggs
⁃ 4 tablespoons of milk
⁃ 8 grams / 1 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
⁃ 115 grams / of roughly chopped walnuts
⁃ 1 lemon rind grated
⁃ a pinch of salt

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees static.
Loaf Tin 8 1/2 inch by 4 1/2 inch

Method
⁃ Cream the butter and sugar together.
⁃ Add the eggs one at a time.
⁃ Sift the flour and add to the mixture with the baking powder and a pinch of salt.
⁃ Fold in the flour
⁃ Add the milk and amalgamate
⁃ Fold in the chop walnuts
If you wish you can add some sugar and walnut to the top of the loaf.
