It was a tricky. I thought I'd easily get all the measurements down into a fool proof method but the process began like this:
Mix 2 handfuls of course wholemeal flour with 1 handful of bran...wait now...how big is a handful? As it turned out Dad's hand lifts about 4oz of flour...which is also handy if you're baking a cake.
Anyway the rest went something like this:
Dry Mix
2 handfuls Course Wholemeal Flour
1 handful Bran or Plain Flour (Dad usually uses bran)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
Liquid Mix
Mix the following separately then add to Dry mix
2 dessert spoonfuls Molasses Cane Sugar (mixed in a little hot water to aid mixing), can be varied to taste
0.75 pint approx Butter Milk
2 dessert spoonfuls cooking oil
Gas Mark 5, 45 mins approx
So that is what I followed tonight except I doubled everything. I couldn't bake my Dad's old recipe without making him a loaf and the other one is for the SWOT breakfast tomorrow.
