Ингредиенты
- For the Pastry
- 500g plain flour

Инструкции
- For the filling
- 300g stale bread (about 8 slices of sliced pan)
- 350ml fresh, strongly brewed tea
- 150g mixed dried fruit (sultanas, raisins or whatever else takes your fancy)
- 150g dark brown sugar
- 2tsp mixed spice
- 1 egg
- Remove any very thick, hard crusts from the bread.
- Place the bread in a medium-sized bowl and pour the tea over it. Allow the tea to soak in and soften for a minute or two, then mash well with a fork or your hand. You need just enough liquid to wet all of the bread – the mashed bread mixture should be stiff rather than overly liquidy if so just pour any excess liquid off.
- Stir in the fruit sugar and spice and egg .Mix well and leave to plump up for an hour or two.
- When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 200C gas mark 6
- Put filling on top of first layer of pastry then top with second layer. Prick pastry with a fork and brush with a little milk or an egg wash. Bake for about 30-35 mins until golden brown. Then enjoy with a big mug of tea.
