Ingredients

175g butter (or half butter and marg)

175g sugar

225g self raising flour

175g sultanas (plus anything else you’d like to add, e.g. pecans)

Grated rind of half a lemon

2 eggs, beaten

4 tbsp milk

¼ tsp salt

½ tsp baking powder

Method

1. Heat oven to 180℃.

2. Beat butter and sugar to a cream

3. Add in the beaten eggs in 3 parts, beating in-between.

4. Beat in milk and lemon. At this point the mixture looks a bit curdled, do not worry!

5. Stir the flour, salt and baking powder in lightly

6. Add sultanas

7. Line loaf tin, spoon the mixture in.

8. Cook for 1 hour 10 mins at 180℃ (our oven has a very enthusiastic fan so I check regularly and remove once the top has a nice brown colour and a knife comes out clean)
