{has_more=true, offset=40, total=104, results=[{comment_text=Very soft and delicious. I doubled the recipe bc I know it will disappear fast. Also double-doubled the spice. My butter/syrup/eggs/sugar mix had cooled quite a bit by the time I added the milk and the mix became very runny - it would have run under the base liner - so I added about 1/4 cup of OO flour. Still turned out lovely texture and taste. Does indeed seem to be a bullet proof recipe., approved=true, user_name=Kirsten, hs_createdate=1702249878350, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175716398}, {comment_text=Lovely easy recipe with not too much butter or sugar smells divine, approved=true, user_name=Thelma MacDonald, hs_createdate=1702249878156, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175501668}, {comment_text=Delicious loaf and so simple. Keeps and slices well. The mixture is quite runny but it firms up quickly, definitely check it at 30 minutes, I was surprised at how swiftly it baked.

Add egg and Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar, mix well, then add all other dry ingredients except the Edmonds Baking Soda.

Mix the Edmonds Baking Soda with the Meadow Fresh Original Milk and stir in. 

Pour into prepared loaf tin and bake for 30 - 40 minutes or until cooked (when a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean with no fudgy crumbs attached).

Cool on a wire rack, slice and butter when cool.
