Separate the egg whites from the yolks and set the whites aside.

Beat egg yolks, all at once, into the creamed butter mixture.

Add vanilla.

Starting and ending with the remaining flour mixture, alternately add the flour and milk, in small portions, to the creamed butter mixture, mixing well with each addition.

Mix together the reserved flour and the black walnuts. Stir to coat the walnuts with the flour.
