So yes, REALLY GOOD, nice and moist but doubled the recipe and it made a good sized loaf. :), approved=true, user_name=Maddie, hs_createdate=1702249878820, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175556247}, {comment_text=A very easy recipe to follow. I would have liked more ginger and spice, so I will add more next time. Also I did warm the milk before adding the Baking soda, just because that's what is normally done. I think it would be very easy to double the recipe. I made mine in a small loaf tin and it was fine., approved=true, user_name=Lee, hs_createdate=1702249878364, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=11175484595}, {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. Makes a modest size loaf, I'll try doubling it next time., approved=true, user_name=Cat H, hs_createdate=1702249878051, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175383606}, {comment_text=I LOVE it hot with butter and maybe add ginger icing for lots of ginger!!!:), approved=true, user_name=Ally, hs_createdate=1702249877979, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175716392}, {comment_text=I made this with gluten free flour and it was simply delicious., approved=true, user_name=Natasha, hs_createdate=1702249877598, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175496023}, {comment_text=I love this recipe! Instead of powder I use a generous amount of grated fresh ginger and it's simply divine!, approved=true, user_name=Lyndsay, hs_createdate=1702249877567, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175605018}]}

Method

Pre-heat oven 190°C. Line a loaf tin with baking paper.

In a large microwave-proof bowl or saucepan, melt the Tararua Butter and Chelsea Golden Syrup together.
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.
