2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt

Cream butter, continue creaming while adding honey in a fine stream. Add egg and beat well, then add orange peel. Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder and salt and sift together again.

Add flour alternately with orange juice, a small amount at a time to first mixture, beating after each addition until smooth. Stir in nuts, blend well. Pour into 9x5x3-inch lined with waxed paper, and greased, loaf pan.

Turn out of pan, let stand until cold. Wrap in waxed paper or aluminum foil.

Note: Store overnight to blend flavors and for easy slicing.
