Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup mincemeat
• 0.75 cup buttermilk
• 0.75 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and lightly flour it, tapping out any excess flour.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Fold in the mincemeat until evenly distributed within the wet mixture.

Step 6

Alternately add the dry flour mixture and the buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly incorporated.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve. This bread can be enjoyed plain or with a smear of butter. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
