I absolutely love this recipe! It’s so easy and so yummy. I don't make it as much as I used to for the simple reason that I tend to make a little piggy of myself when it’s in the house, and no-one else gets a look in! It’s great for afternoon/high tea with a little butter spread on it, and the kids love it! Ingredients:
6 ounces self raising flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
3 ounces margarine |
3 ounces sugar |
4 ounces dried fruit |
1 ounce cherries |
1 egg |
5 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. Sieve the flour into a bowl and cut in the margarine.
2. Rub in the margarine until it resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Wash the fruit and roll in a little flour (stops it sinking).
4. Add the fruit and sugar to the flour and mix.
5. Beat the egg and gradually add to the flour mixture.
6. Grease a loaf tin.
7. Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for approx 50 minutes at gas mark 5.
8. Test the loaf by inserting a clean knife; if it emerges clean, it’s cooked.
9. NB-Most times I make this I double the recipe, as it gets eaten so quickly!
