missuscluck Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 As requested by Claret after putting a picture of the finnished article on my blog. Ahem.. in my own words (sorry) 10 oz S.R. Flour A pinch of salt 3oz butter or marg 1 1/2 level tsp ground cinnamon 3oz demerera sugar 1 egg 100ml milk 2oz shelled walnuts chopped 4oz no soak prunes (I used the breakfast style ones that come in a pouch) 1 tbsp clear runny honey Grease and line a 3 1/2 pt loaf tin. Flour, salt and cinnamon in a bowl, rub in fat untill it resembles fine breadcrumbs, or in my case, bung it in the kenwwood chef with a K beater (or similar) Stir in sugar add egg and milk untill you have a smooth dough. Using floured hands shape the mixture into 16 even sized rounds. Place 8 in the base of the tin. Sprinkle over half of the nuts and all of the chopped prunes. Put the remaining 8 rounds on the top and sprinkle over the remaining chopped walnuts. Bake in the oven on 190 C (375 F ) Gas mark 5 for 50 mins. Place a peice of greaseproof over the top if it is overbrowning. Turn out onto a rack to cool and drizzle the honey over the top. I went a bit mad with the honey which made it all the nicer! Now the hard part- Wrap and store the loaf in an air tight container for 1-2 days befor eating as the flavour and moisture improves as it matures.
