Maple Nut Bread

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
1 1/4 cups milk
1 teaspoon maple flavoring
1 cup nuts

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Beat egg in bowl. Add milk and maple
flavoring, stir. In separate bowl, sift dry ingredients. Add milk
mixture (works better if you dump dry on wet ingredients). Mix well.

Pour in greased loaf pan. Cover with foil. Bake at 325 degrees
covered for 25 minutes, increase oven temp to 365 degrees, uncover,
bake for 25 minutes, increase temp to 375 degrees and bake for an
additional 10 minutes. You will need to keep the bread covered after
you start slicing it, it dries out very quickly.
