Buttermilk Cinnamon Bread

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2-1/2 cups sugar, divided
2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl,
combine oil and 1-1/2 cups sugar. Add buttermilk and eggs; mix well. Stir into
dry ingredients just until moistened. Fill two greased 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. or
five 5-in. x 2-1/2-in. loaf pans about one-third full. Combine cinnamon and
remaining sugar; sprinkle half over the batter. Top with remaining batter and
cinnamon-sugar. Swirl batter with a knife. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake at 350°
for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

Yield: 2 loaves or 5 mini loaves.
