Instructions

Step 1

Follow these steps for a fruity treat:

Step 2

Pour the boiling water over the tea bag and leave for a few minutes, while you pop all the dried fruits and the Lyle's Golden Syrup in a mixing bowl. Discard the teabag and tip the hot tea over the fruits. Cover and leave to steep for a minimum of 3 hours (or overnight), until all the liquid has been absorbed and the fruit has plumped up. Stir from time to time.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 170°C/150° Fan, 325°F, Gas 3 with the shelf set on a lower shelf (you want the top of your baking tin to be aligned with the centre of the oven).

Step 4

Stir in the egg, sift over the flour and then add the nuts and mix well, before adding enough milk to loosen the stiff mixture. Transfer to a 900g (2lb) loaf tin (lined or greased, with the base lined with parchment) and level it off.

Step 5

Bake for 50-60 minutes until golden, springy in the centre, and when a fine skewer poked through the middle comes out clean.

Step 6

Turn out onto a wire rack to cool and remove the paper. Warm a final tablespoon of Lyle's Golden Syrup a little, then brush all over the top of the bread. Make sure you serve generously sliced.
