| lardy bread Posted: 1/31/2008 4:59:42 PM | OP: I think they call it lardy cake, so it might help get more results doing searches. Here is a recipe I found:
Lardy Cake
12 ozs. Risen white bread dough 2 ozs. lard 2 ozs. caster sugar 2 ozs. currant a little honey Roll out to an oblong about 5 ins. x 12 ins.. Spread on lard and sprinkle with sugar and currants. Roll up like a swiss roll and then roll into a square and place in a greaed shallow 7 ins. square baking tin. Make light diagonal cuts in top to give a diamond attern. Cover and leave to rise to top of tin.
Brush lightly wth honey and bake in a mod. hot oven Gas 5 0 375f. 190c. for about 35 mts. Serve hot with butter.
Thats a basic one I found. Seems like there would be something you could substitute for the lard though... And I'm glad to help; it takes less effort for me to post a recipe than it does to post a link to a search engine. | |
