- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg (well beaten)
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 Cup seedless raisins
- 1/4 cup rum or water (optional but I could not resist...my raisins were a bit dry and what better than RUM Raisin Nut bread?!)
- 3/4 cup chopped nuts (not originally called for but I toast mine for 7-8 minutes in the over before chopping them; makes them even more wonderful
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1-2 tsp milk
Instruction
- Heat the rum or water to boiling, remove from heat; add raisins and let sit to absorb liquid for 15 minutes.

- Add raisins (and any liquid) and nuts.
- Combine egg, milk and butter. Stir into dry ingredients, pour into a greased bread loaf pan, 8 inches by 4 inches.

- If you want to drizzle with icing, combine powdered sugar and cinnamon.
- Add enough milk to the powdered sugar until it's just thick enough to drizzle over the top of the bread.
