honey or malt bread
This is a recipe of my mum's that made either a yummy honeybread or a really sticky maltbread, both of which my family loved when I was growing up. Sadly my mum is no longer with us so to prevent the recipes I do have left of hers being forgotten or lost I want to post them so others can enjoy them as well.

How To Make honey or malt bread
-
Step 1Heat oven to 165C and line a loaf tin with buttered greaseproof paper (or the loaf tin liners you can get are excellent). -
Step 2Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
-
Step 3Warm the 2 Tbsp. honey (honeybread) or black treacle (maltbread) together with the butter until butter has melted.
-
Step 4Add the milk to the bowl and mix to a dropping consistency.
-
Step 5Pour into the prepared tin and either spread over the 2 teaspons (or my mum used a desert spoon) of honey and sprinkle with bun (maltbread)/crystal (honeybread) sugar.
-
Step 6Bake for 45-60 minutes until cooked. (I would test with a skewer.)
-
Step 7Cool and peel off paper.
