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.
