Many visitors who come on Farm Walks to our farm, enjoy the Tea, Cakes and Stilton refreshments at the end of the visit. Many more ask me for the Teabread recipe and it's so easy to make I usually make 5 or 6 at a time, so here it is!
Jane's Teabread
10oz/275g mixed dried fruit
6oz/175g soft brown sugar
1/2pt/300ml tea
10oz/275g self-raising flour
1 egg
In a mixing bowl, mix together the dried fruits and sugar. Pour on the tea, cover and allow to stand for 4-5 hours or overnight. After soaking, beat in the flour and beaten egg. Stir to mix well. Grease a 2lb/1kg loaf tin well and line the base with greaseproof paper. Put in the cake mixture and level the top. Place in a hot oven (its an Aga recipe so don't know how hot it needs to be - trial and error?) for 45 mins or until its golden brown, cooked in the middle when tested with a skewer!
When cold, slice and I serve buttered. It makes an old fashioned favourite very enjoyable and goes down a treat with a cup of tea.
