[edit] Ingredients
- 400g of plain flour (ish)
- 120g of light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 5g of yeast (i think.. just a wee packet)
- 150ml of milk
- ~100g of butter
- tablespoon of golden syrup
- teaspoon of mixed spice
- 150g of mixed fruit (i just use currents for simpler deliciousness remember less is more)
- 3 BLACK AS THE NIGHT! Bananas
[edit] Method
- add yeast to milk and leave covered in a warm place to ferment for a bit
- preheat oven to gas mark 4
- melt butter and golden syrup in a pan
- add flour, mixed spice and sugar in a bowl and make a well
- break egg into well and pour in the fermented mixture
- stir around a bit
- add butter and golden syrup mix
- stir some more
- add your currents
- you should have a mixture which is just a bit thicker than cake mix, i guess at my measurements so add more flour if needed
- crush the bananas with a fork and mix into the mix
- allow to rise for a bit in the bowl with a tea cloth over it
- butter a bread tin (i actually used a large casserole dish because i'd made so much)
- bake for about 1 hour, possibly more, its ok if its still only slightly gooey because its nicer toasted that way
delicious with cups of tea!
