Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[The Dogmother]

This comes out like a malt loaf (can be eaten with butter spread on it) and is a brilliant recipe – easy to make and nutritious too. My friend made me one when I had just given birth, to ward off any potential constipation.

 

2 cups of All Bran cereal

2 cups light muscovado sugar

2 cups of chopped prunes (I do one cup of prunes and one of dates)

2 cups of milk

2 cups of SR flour

 

Mix all the ingredients except for the flour in a bowl and leave in the fridge over night. Pre-heat the oven to 350f/180c/gas 4 and line a 2lb loaf tin (I use the greaseproof liners from Lakeland).

 

Add the flour to the mixture and bake for around 60 mins, or until a skewer in the middle comes out clean.

 

Allow to stand before turning out.

Sounds lovely but i dont think its for me, even after i have given birth!

 

I think i will stick to aloe vera juice, liquorice and shed loads of fruit!

I never had a problem, but loved the cake, so have continued to make it!

Blimey I used to make a version of this with my mum way back in the day- we used mixed fruit instead of prunes, she was a district nurse and slightly obsessed with being regular

Another friend who I sent the recipe to uses raisins as she hates prunes, but I quite like the moistness that prunes give it.

 

Aren't all medics obssessed with bowel motions?

Go carefully with the liquorice whilst pregnant and breastfeeding, Emma.

 

It can raise blood pressure and alter hormone levels.

Strangely enough my Mum was also a district nurse, and we used to make all bran loaf "mum I've got tummy ache" "when did you last go to the toilet?"

Well, you learn something new every day!

 

My BP is always quite low and as i dont eat that much of it - only when needed im sure i will be fine.

 

As for changes in hormone levels - ha ha ha - can they get much more manic than they are now??!!!
