Brack – Tea Loaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 ounces sultanas
8 ounces raisins
6 ounces demerara sugar
1/4 pint hot tea
1 egg
8 ounces self-rising flour

Preparation

Mix together the dried fruit, sugar and hot tea.
Cover and leave overnight.
Add the egg beat well, then stir in the flour.
Grease a 1-lb loaf tin; line the base with greaseproof paper.
Place the mixture into the tin and bake for about 1 1/2 hours at 160c (fan).
Always use hot tea so the sugar dissolves and the dried fruit swells more easily.
Prep time doesn't include soak time.
