Sure, here’s a fun and exciting way to make malt loaf!
Malt loaf is a delicious and hearty treat that is perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert. It’s a moist, dense, and slightly sweet bread that is packed with flavor and perfect with a generous spread of butter.
To make malt loaf, you will need the following ingredients:
– 350g malt extract
– 400ml hot black tea
– 200g soft brown sugar
– 350g mixed dried fruit (such as raisins, sultanas, and currants)
– 2 large eggs, beaten
– 250g self-raising flour
– 1 tsp baking powder
Now, let’s get started!
1. Preheat your oven to 150°C and grease a 900g loaf tin.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the malt extract, hot black tea, and soft brown sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
3. Add the mixed dried fruit to the bowl and mix well. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the fruit to plump up.
4. Once the fruit has had time to soak, add the beaten eggs to the bowl and mix well.
5. In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and baking powder. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the greased loaf tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Once baked, remove the malt loaf from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Your delicious and satisfying malt loaf is now ready to enjoy! Serve it sliced with a generous spread of butter for a mouthwatering treat. Enjoy!
