Ingredients 3 ingredients

  1. one-half cup brown sugar
  2. three tablespoons butter
  3. One bowl soft bread

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.

Method

  1. One bowl soft bread sponge, one-half cup brown sugar, three tablespoons butter, very little soda.
  2. Dissolve in warm water;
  3. stir to a thick batter with Graham flour;
  4. put in tins, and let rise until very light;
  5. then bake.
