Has anyone got a recipe for malt loaf?

[funkypixie]

I gave in to a craving for soreen malt loaf in the co-op the other day and thoroughly enjoyed it. The number of 'extra' ingredients got me wondering whether anyone made their own and if they did, can I have the recipe please?

Hiya Anna :)

8 oz plain flour
pinch of salt
2 tbsp soft brown sugar
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
5 oz seedless raisins
2 oz golden syrup
2 tbsp malt
approx 1/4 pt milk

Grease and line a loaf tin (about 8.5" x 4.5" top dimension). Sieve the dry
ingredients, add the raisins. Melt the malt and syrup in half the milk. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the malt mixture. Add more milk as necessary to give a sticky, soft consistency. Pour into tin and bake 1 - 1 1/4 hours at 160 C, 325 F, gas mark 3. Turn out to cool on wire rack, and (attempt to) keep for 24 hours before serving.

This one works well and is sticky like the old fashioned malt loaf used to be :) Hope this helps!

I've got 4 hours to waste while i'm dyeing my hair tomorrow, and i can't dig the garden cos it nearly killed me last week, so i think i'll make some bread and malt loaf!!
