--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     3/4  cup           hot water
     1/2  cup           molasses
     1/4  cup           milk
   2      cups          whole wheat flour
   1      cup           all-purpose flour
     3/4  cup           sugar
   3      tablespoons   baking powder
   1      teaspoon      baking soda
   1      teaspoon      salt
   1 1/2  cups          chopped dry roasted pecans

Preparation:

In a medium-size bowl combine the hot water and molasses, stirring until well blended. Stir in the milk until blended. In a large bowl sift together the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. With a rubber spatula, fold the liquid mixture and the pecans into the dry ingredients just until flour is thoroughly incorporated; do not over mix. Spoon into 12 greased muffin cups. Bake at 300F until done, 45 minutes to about 1 hour. Remove from pan immediately and serve while hot. From Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitche
