Thank you for visiting my blog!

Over the last few years, I have been cooking for PureMalt staff, guests and events. I create every day food recipes for all to enjoy and often experiment with the addition of malt extracts in some of my dishes. East Lothian is a county full of great tasting and exciting local produce, which I will try to include in my food whenever possible.  It’s all about quality and flavour – hope you enjoy my recipes!

    When the fruit has soaked up all the tea liquid, remove the tea bag and discard.

    Put the Malt Extract and all the sugar into a heavy bottomed saucepan and warm without stirring it over a medium heat just until all the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat.

    In a separate bowl, put the flour, baking powder and salt and mix through to ensure there are no lumps.

    Remove 2 large tablespoons of the soaked fruit into another bowl and using a hand blender, purée until you have a thick paste. Break eggs into a cup and beat lightly. (I just added them straight into bowl)

    Next pour the warmed sugar and malt mixture into the flour and then add the paste mixture along with the soaked fruit. Now add the beaten eggs and gently fold the mixture together.

    When it has all combined well together, scoop it into lined baking tin and level out.

    Bake for around 50 mins to an hour until centre is lightly springy, remove from oven and leave to cool In tin. Whilst it is cooling you can brush over top with the little reserved malt extract. Or not if you don’t want it to be extra sticky.

    When cool slice and butter thickly and enjoy with a cuppa or a coffee or in my case a long cold glass white wine.
