Heat oven to 350F (175C). Grease a 9 x
5 x 3-inch (23 x 12.5 x 7.5 cm) loaf pan. Measure whole-wheat flour
into mixing bowl. Add sugar, soda, salt and nutmeg and mix together
lightly with a fork. Beat 1/2 cup (125ml) molasses and milk together
with fork and add to dry ingredients. Stir just to blend. Add 1/2
cup (125ml) nuts and blend very lightly. Spoon into prepared pan.
Bake 45 minutes or until a toothpick
stuck in the center comes out clean. Combine 1 tbsp molasses, melted
butter and 1/4 cup nuts and spread over top of loaf. Return to oven
for 5 minutes. Turn out on rack to cool.
