Instructions: Commercially available candied peel is quite suitable for this recipe. Sift the flour, baking soda, salt and sugar together; Add the unbeaten egg and the milk. Stir the liquids quickly and lightly into the dry ingredients, then add the nuts. Pour the batter into a loaf pan approximately 9 by 5 inches. Make sure it is well greased and dusted with flour. Bake in a moderate oven (350F) for about one hour. The bread is done when the crust is brown and no particles stick to a wire cake tester on a tooth-pick thrust into the centre of the loaf. Loosen the loaf from the pan with a knife, remove it from the pan and cool on a wire rack. The bread should not be sliced until it is thoroughly cool.
