Golden Sultana Bread Recipes

SULTANA LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C Bake - 355F
• Line a loaf tin with baking paper and set aside
• In a medium sauce pan add the Sultanas (or raisins), butter, baking soda and boiling water, bring to the boil and cook for 3-5 minutes stirring occasionally
• Remove from the heat, pour this sultana mixture into a medium bowl and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes, feel free to pop this in the refrigerator
• Add to the sultana mixture the sugar, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and stir through
• Then add a well beaten egg, golden syrup and vanilla.
• Combine all of these ingredients together until no flour remains visible.
• Pour this into the prepared loaf tin and bake for one hour. This loaf is cooked when a skewer or knife comes out clean, with only moist crumbs remaining but no batter
• It is ok if the top cracks - see notes above
• Remove from the oven once baked and allow the loaf to cool for 20 minutes before removing from the pan and cooling on a wire rack
• Once cold store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• This loaf can also be frozen, either as is or already sliced.
• Serve as is or with butter or margarine.
• Enjoy!
