'Bara Brith Mam'

A relaxing weekend at home?

Why not try making your own Bara Brith made with tea, delicious when spread with salted butter.

12 oz SULTANAS

1 CUP OF MUSCOVADO SUGAR

1 CUP OF WELSH TEA (BLACK TEA)

1 TSP SPICE

2 CUPS OF SELF RAISING FLOUR

1 FREE RANGE EGG

Method

Put the dried fruit in a bowl and pour over the tea, mix in the sugar and stir well to dissolve. Leave to soak for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Next day, sift the flour and spice into the soaked fruit and stir in the egg. Blend well together.

Preheat the oven to 150°C /Gas 4. Line a loaf tin with baking paper and pour in the mixture.

Bake for approximately 1 hour until the Bara Brith has risen and cooked through. Leave to cool on a rack and store for 2 days before eating. Serve sliced thinly with Welsh salted butter.

This mixture can be doubled to make 2 loaves and will keep for up to 7 days.
