Honey Bread

The end of exams is in sight! E finished hers this week (and moved back home over the half term holiday). M has two next week and then one the week after. What with a hectic time work wise as well, weekly menu planning hasn't happened over the last few weeks. So here I am on a sunny afternoon baking rather than gardening. Various reasons - as not a frequent activity for me - and this must be the first batch of cake baking that has happened with the new oven as they are taking longer to cook than in my old oven.
M normally bakes sponge cakes - he is the one who eats the majority of the cake after all - but couldn't be persuaded to do so. Something to do with his girlfriend being around?
Now the sponge cakes are out (more on them another time) the honey bread is now baking.

Honey Bread
Haven't made this for ages. Great one to make with small children and I do remember making this with my mother when I was younger. Low fat but only if you don't spread the slices with butter prior to eating!

8 fl oz milk
2 tbsp honey
4 oz sugar
9 oz Self Raising Flour - sifted

Heat oven to 150C
Grease and flour a bread tin. Line base with greaseproof paper
Put milk, honey and sugar in a saucepan and heat gently heat until sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in flour (some lumps is fine)
Pour into loaf tin and bake for 30-45 minutes until skewer/knife comes out clean (note to self - 45 minutes in new oven)
