Bara Brith - United Kingdom traditional dish

🧂 材料

350 g Mixed dried fruit(A mix of raisins, sultanas, currants, and candied peel works well.)
300 ml Cold black tea(Brewed and cooled. Any strong black tea will suffice.)
350 g Self-raising flour(Ensure it's fresh for best results.)
150 g Light brown sugar(Packed into the measuring cup.)
1 Egg(Large, free-range if possible, lightly beaten.)
1 tsp Mixed spice(Optional, but adds a lovely warmth.)

👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Combine the mixed dried fruit and cold tea in a bowl. Cover and leave to soak at room temperature overnight (or for at least 8 hours). This rehydrates the fruit, making it plump and juicy.
⏱️ Overnight
2
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C Fan / 350°F / Gas Mark 4). Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking parchment.
3
In a large mixing bowl, add the self-raising flour, light brown sugar, and mixed spice (if using).
⏱️ 2 minutes
4
Add the soaked fruit (along with any remaining tea) and the lightly beaten egg to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick and hold its shape.
⏱️ 5 minutes
5
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf tin and level the surface with the back of the spoon.
⏱️ 1 minute
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. The Bara Brith is ready when it is deep golden brown, firm to the touch, and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
⏱️ 1 hour 15 minutes - 1 hour 30 minutes
7
Remove the loaf from the tin and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This allows the crumb to set properly.
⏱️ 2 hours
8
Serve slices of Bara Brith generously buttered. It's delicious on its own or with a cup of tea.
