I found this recipe inserted into an old recipe book I bought at a charity shop! I’ve made it a few times and it has been a roaring success!
Ingredients
- 125g (4oz) bran (as in bran flakes cereal)
- 125g (4oz) sultanas
- 300 ml (1/2 pint) semi skimmed milk
- freshly grated rind and juice of 1 orange (I peel then cut the rind to make it larger and make the loaf look colourful)
- 50g (2oz) chopped walnuts
- 125g (4oz) soft brown sugar
- 125g (4oz) self-raising wholemeal flour
Method
Place bran, sultanas, milk, ring & juice into a large mixing bowl. Leave to soak for 2 hours. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Spoon into a greased lined 900g (2lb) loaf tin and place in centre of pre-heated over (190 C, 275 F, Gas mark 5) for 45-55 minutes. Leave to cool and serve sliced with butter! The loaf can be cut into 8 slices!
I find this a great small meal when served with cheese & veggie sticks, or it is perfect for afternoon tea served with a cup of tea!
Please remember to enter the competition by commenting on what 3 things you love to do in England! And for those that wondered, three people have now seen the new bob (I don’t think I’ve ever had my hair this short) and they love it!
Looks yummy, and that’s great that your haircut was a success.
Oh my goodness, I just read your message about featuring my blog! I’ve been travelling so just now got unto a real computer (as opposed to my cellphone). Are you sure you want to pick mine – its even more random than usual these days
Also – your blog recipes ALWAYS make me so hungry! I’m glad your bob is a success
I’ll be giving this one a go, thanks for sharing.

seriously, no egg???
Are Sultanas raisins? I ask because I am not in England. It sounds delicious. Anyone know if I can substitute Whole Wheat Flour and yeast for self rising wholemeal flour (I don’t know what that is).
This looks really good – I think I’ll have to try it out! Nice work on the frugal bob too!
Thank you for posting the recipe! I might try it sometime soon…
