1 1/2 c. of white flour
1 c. of whole wheat flour
2 tsp. of baking powder
1/2 tsp. of baking soda
1/2 tsp. of salt
1/2 c. of raisins or chopped dates
2/3 c. of honey
1 c. of buttermilk
3 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
1 c. of chopped pecans

Thoroughly mix the flours with the baking powder and soda and the salt. In a separate bowl blend the honey, buttermilk and oil with the beaten eggs. Add the dry ingredients to the liquid, stirring just enough for them to become moistened. Fold in the pecans and raisins or dates. Turn the batter into a well buttered 8-inch loaf pan and bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 1 hour or until a straw inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then turn out on a rack.
