- Preparation: 45 min
- Cooking: 45 min
- Makes: 1 serving (149 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, gluten, nut, sulphite
Ingredients
- 40 g Flour, all-purpose
- 12 g Butter, unsalted
- 5 g Water
- 25 g Raisins
- 20 g Raisins, golden
- 8 g Candied fruit
- 8 g Almonds
- 10 g Sugar, brown
- 5 g Molasses
- 0.3 g Baking soda
- 0.2 g Cinnamon
- 0.1 g Allspice
- 10 g Milk, whole
- 5 g Spirits
Method
- Makes 1 slice; multiply by 12 for a whole loaf. Rub the butter into 25 g of the flour with the water to make a simple shortcrust pastry; wrap and chill 20 minutes.
- Mix the remaining flour with the raisins, sultanas, candied fruit, almonds, brown sugar, molasses, baking soda, cinnamon and allspice.
- Bind the fruit mixture with the milk and whisky into a stiff, moist filling.
- Roll out most of the pastry and use it to line a small loaf tin, keeping enough back for a lid.
- Pack in the filling, top with the pastry lid, seal the edges well and prick a few holes through the top to let steam escape.
- Bake at 160 °C (320 °F) for about 45 minutes, until the crust is browned and firm; cool completely before slicing thinly.
