Ingredients used: 15 oz. flour.
2 oz. Fleischmann's Yeast.
1/2 pint milk.
3 oz. butter.
3 oz. sugar.
4 eggs.
1/2 gill brandy.
1 teaspoonful anis.
The grating of 1 lemon.
2 oz. chopped orange peel.
1 pinch of salt.
Set sponge with milk and yeast with sufficient flour; allow to rest until it breaks (time about 45 minutes). Cream the sugar and butter together, adding the eggs one by one; then add the brandy and add this mixture to the sponge; mix smooth. Then add the remaining flour together with the fruit. Mould and allow to rest until double original size; then make up into breads, the same as home-made bread; place on greased baking sheets and allow to rise until double original size; then brush over with egg water and bake in medium-hot oven. They can also be baked in single-loaf baking tins.
