A Scottish treat. Slather a slice with butter as a late night snack! Ingredients:
8 ounces plain flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
2 teaspoons ground ginger |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 pinch salt |
6 ounces unsalted butter |
6 ounces molasses |
4 ounces packed brown sugar |
6 tablespoons milk |
2 large eggs |
2 ounces sultanas (golden raisins) |
2 ounces almonds, flaked |
Directions:
1. Sift the flour, spices, salt and baking soda, and then stir in the fruit and nuts.
2. Melt the butter with the molasses and sugar on a low heat.
3. The mixture should remain somewhat cool but the sugar should be dissolved.
4. Add the milk and stir in the eggs.
5. Pour the warm mixture into a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly to form a batter.
6. Pour into a greased and lined 2 lb loaf tin.
7. Bake at 325°F/160°C/gas mark 3 for 11/4 hours.
8. This is a fairly heavy recipe and may sink on cooling.
