Tea Bread

ha ha!

Now that we're definitely moving I'm sorting out cupboards, especially in the kitchen.  I've come across the bottom of lots of packets of shreddies, shredded wheat and all bran, the bits which no-one wants to eat. 

No-one seems to like to eat the bits at the bottom of the packets, probably because, although they're perfectly alright, they tend to go soggy when the milk's added.  So am going make a fruit loaf with them.

Here's my take on the classic All-Bran tea bread recipe:

5oz cereal (mine was mixture of shredded wheat, shreddies and all bran)

5oz raisins or sultanans

10 fl oz tea, milk or orange juice

2 oz sugar

6 oz SR flour

2 eggs

1. Soak cereal in tea/milk/juice for a couple of hours.  
2. Add dried fruit, sugar and eggs.  Stir in flour.
3. Cook about an hour at about 190C.
4. Eat: sliced, and spread with lots of butter.
