Manx Bunloaf (Isle of Man) image

Made without eggs, this is a 200year-old recipe for a delicious rich, moist fruit loaf. The area and the Cumbrian coast was at that time a haunt of smugglers who brought in spices and exotics as well as rum, brandy and tobacco, and cooks made the most of it.

Number Of Ingredients 13

18 ounces plain flour
2 ounces margarine
2 ounces lard
2 ounces brown sugar
2 ounces white sugar
2 eggs

buttermilk, to mix

Steps:

  • No method given but judging from the ingredients rather like a rich fruit cake :beat fats and sugar, add eggs; sift flour spice and raising ingredients, then add with fruit and cook in a slow oven (150C - probably around 2 hours but needs experimentation). Alternatively possibly rub fats into sifted flour/spice mix and then add eggs, fruit and buttermilk to produce the required dropping consistency.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the taste and texture of your bunloaf.
  • Be sure to activate the yeast before using it: This will ensure that your bunloaf rises properly.

  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help it to double in size.
  • Bake the bunloaf in a preheated oven: This will help it to rise evenly.
  • Let the bunloaf cool slightly before slicing it: This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
