This is a traditional sweet bread from Isle of Man. From Ingredients:
18 ounces plain flour |
2 ounces margarine |
2 ounces lard |
2 ounces brown sugar |
2 ounces white sugar |
2 eggs |
18 ounces currants |
5 ounces sultanas |
2 1/2 ounces mixed candied peel |
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda |
1 teaspoon mixed spice |
buttermilk, to mix |
Directions:
1. No method given but judging from the ingredients rather like a rich fruit cake :beat fats and sugar, add eggs; sift flour spice and raising ingredients, then add with fruit and cook in a slow oven (150C - probably around 2 hours but needs experimentation). Alternatively possibly rub fats into sifted flour/spice mix and then add eggs, fruit and buttermilk to produce the required dropping consistency.
