2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup walnuts; chopped
2 eggs; beaten
1 cup milk
3 tbsp butter or margarine; melted

Scrape off white portion from orange peel; cut peel into thin strips. Chop fine - you'll need about 3/4 cup chopped.

Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; add peel and nuts.

Combine eggs, milk and butter; add all at once to dry mixture. Stir just till moistened.

Bake in greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pan at 350 degrees till done, about 55 minutes. Remove from pan; cool. Wrap; store overnight.

Slice loaf in inch-thick slices. Place unbuttered slices in hot waffle iron; toast till slices are browned in waffled pattern.
