INGREDIENTS

· 1 cup all purpose flour

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.

2. Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Mix well. Make a well in the center and add the milk, walnut oil, egg, currants and walnuts. Mix well and pour into a lightly oiled cake or baking pan. Bake at 350° F for 30 minutes.
