TRADITIONAL IRISH CHRISTMAS BARMBRACK [IRISH TEA BREAD] RECIPE
#Báirínbreac also known as #barmbrack or #IrishTeaBread is a beautiful fruit loaf packed full of Irish history and tradition. It is a quick loaf to whip together loaded with dried sultanas and raisins and it is typically made at Christmas time. The name means 'speckled loaf' as Gaeilge (in Irish) and you can see why from the amazing speckling of the fruit throughout the loaf.

5g baking powder
5g salt
5g mixed spice
150g light brown sugar
1 large free range egg
