2 1/2 cups flour

1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup butter, margarine, or shortening

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

2 eggs

1 1/3 cups buttermilk (or substitute sour milk)

1/2 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans)

Grease bottom and sides of a 13x9-inch baking pan.

In a large bowl combine flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; set aside 1/2 cup. Stir in baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg into remaining crumb mixture. Add eggs and buttermilk. Pour into prepared pan. Combine reserved crumb mixture and nuts; sprinkle over batter.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm.
