We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Cut butter into 8 slices and chill in fridge. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease, flour and line a 9 x 9 pyrex baking dish or shiny cake pan.

  • Step 2: Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Chen cut in butter with a pastry cutter, then sugar. Press half into bottom of cake pan.

  • Step 3: Dissolve baking soda in milk, add beaten egg and nutmeg, then add to remaining mixture, combining well.

  • Step 4: Pour into pan, sprinkle with nuts and cinnamon, if desired. Bake 45 minutes, or until done, being careful not to over bake. I don't recommend using a dark pan, but if you do, start testing 10 minutes earlier.

  • Step 6: Cool completely, then place in airtight container or wrap well.
