Raisin Loaf
Thanks to Di who contributed this recipe. She says that its simplicity means you can whip it up at a moments notice. Slice and spread the loaf with NUTTELEX of course.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup seeded raisins
- 1 tablespoon NUTTELEX
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1 teaspoon of mixed spice (optional)
- 2 cups self–raising flour
- 1 egg, beaten
Method:
- Place first 6 ingredients in saucepan (or in bowl in microwave oven) and heat until NUTTELEX is melted.
- Sift in self–raising flour, then beat in egg. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined.
- Grease and line a 22cm x 14cm loaf tin and bake for 40–45 minutes at 160°C. The loaf is cooked when an inserted knife or skewer comes out clean.
Variations:
Try using wholemeal self–raising flour for a nutty flavour and add grated rind of 1 lemon.
