Dark and Fruity, a Taste of Wales… Bara Brith…

[@virginiavoigt2418]

You have the voice of a wonderful storyteller. I would enjoy your videos even without any intention of making the recipes You just sound comforting like a favorite aunt or grandmother.

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

You are so sweet to say that! Have a great day...👋

[@denisedavies5859]

I came across your channel by chance last week. It simply popped up on my feed. I’m in my mid 60’s and found quite a few of your recipes bring back memories. A neighbour gave me this recipe in the late 70’s. I was shocked to see tea being used like this but I was soon converted. I also like the fact that you insist on scraping out the bowl. It’s the way I was taught in the late 60’s in Domestic Science lessons. Today’s tv chefs and cooks leave so much in the bowl it infuriates me.

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Hi Denise, Lovely to hear from you. I love these old fashioned recipes as I was also young at the time they were popular.. Food has a great way of bringing back memories. I have a playlist on this channel called Childhood Memories. I wonder if you recognise any others.. 🤔 Thanks for popping over. Have a great day 👋

[@gagglesc5631]

I also found your channel just by chance on Wednesday 3rd Oct, after a friend of mine at class brought Bara Brith for us all to try. I'm making my own tomorrow, using your recipe 😊. I will be looking at lots more of your recipes in the future 😊

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

​@@gagglesc5631 That's great 👍

[@nootansworldDMK1]

first big likkeee👍 looks yummyyy thanks for sharing👌

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Hi there...👍

[@CookingSecretsForMen]

I like the combination of the dark Brown sugar and the fruit combination. I'll bet the bread taste wonderful

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Thanks Charlie, It certainly disappeared fast...😁👍

[@mehruskitchen1vlogs297]

Wow looks so yummy and mouthwatering perfect presentation first like full watched

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Hi there...👋

[@buddyboy4x44]

I made and commented favourably on your Malt Loaf, Margaret. You recommended I also try this Bara Brith which I have now done. It makes very similarly to the malt loaf and, like it, needs to be slathered in butter when eaten to reach its optimum flavour. It is delicious. Thank you for providing the recipe and great tuition. Of the two I prefer the malt loaf as being a little more moist and having a deeper flavour, but that takes nothing away from the Bara Brith. Good job.

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Hello BuddyBoy, How lovely you tried this recipe too. You are absolutely right about the butter and Kerrigold is the best if you can get it. It certainly has a different feel to the malt bread. My sister loves this one best and it rarely lasts very long in our house because of that...😊 (My other half prefers the malt loaf.) Thanks for letting me know about your bakes, I wonder what you will be trying next. I'm always open to suggestions of what to bake next. So if you have an old favourite that you'd like to see the recipe for, then do let me know... Have a good evening...👍

[@shanejones43]

Hello Margaret as a Welsh person I’ve never been able to get it wright I’ve followed you’re ingredients and it’s out of this world exactly like my grandmother and grandfather use to make it thank you for the video 🙏

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

That's great, thank you for your message Shane. I'm so pleased you made this. We love it and it always brings back happy childhood memories. I do hope it does for you too...👍

[@veronicaelsegood5175]

I loved Bara Brith when we lived in Wales and this is a really easy recipe .thankyou

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

My pleasure, hope you enjoy... 😊

[@robertocontreras-yb5vn]

Lovely video ❤❤

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Thanks for your kind words. 💙

[@BakingWithElliott]

Now the is the traditional style bakes I like seeing - I haven't had any of this in such a long time! Thank you for sharing the recipe with us Margaret!

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Hi there Elliot 👋 Yes, traditional bakes are great to make and I'm sure the reason they have been around so long is because they are so tasty... Take care...👍

[@davidcampbell651]

Just made this. Very easy to follow recipe and well explained. I have already looked out for more of your videos.The hardest thing about this recipe is the two day wait to eat it.😊

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

So pleased you enjoyed it David. The old fashioned recipes like this are among some of my favourites. If you like this one, then you might also enjoy my malt loaf. Have a good day...👍

[@OneHotBite]

Well this is fabulous Margaret!! Nice with a hot cup of tea in the afternoon.

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Absolutely Melissa... Thanks for stopping by 👍

[@peterjf7723]

That takes me back. Often had this when visiting my Welsh aunt and uncle, after they died my father would make it, but he died in 1998 and I haven't had it since. Going to make some this week.

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

I'm sure you'll love it...😀👍

[@nickdavies4123]

Lovely this Margaret I even used Welsh tea , it’s how I remember Bara Brith tasting when I was a child

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Welsh tea.... It must have been real good then. Thanks for stopping by to leave a comment...👍

[@SandraDent-lf4xy]

That looks lovely Margaret, also a good tip on lining you cake tin. Thank you

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

So pleased you enjoyed it. Thanks for popping by ...👍

[@patriciadiamond1305]

Never to late to thank you so much for this, great easy to follow recipe. The best l have found❤,and there have been a few. "CONGRATS"❤

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Hey thanks for your kind words Patricia. We love this one. It's definitely one of our favourite bakes...👍

[@susanfryer1616]

Delicious looking

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

It really is. Well worth the bake...👍

[@CookingwithAnadi]

wow this looks incredible Margaret. I've never heard of a tea loaf but I feel like I'd love it. As always the best things are totally worth the effort. Nicely done Margaret!

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

You'd love it Anadi 😀 It's sticky and sweet, perfect with butter..... Have a fun week my friend...👍

[@WhippedFood]

Another great recipe!

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Thanks 😊

[@Taigamom]

Wow, this loaf was designed for a nice hot cup of tea.😍 I have never heard of this recipe and I would love to try it. This would be particularly nice on a rainy cold winter afternoon - so comforting.😊

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Hi there, thanks for popping over...👋

[@Makethemhearragtime]

Can't find it on your website. Made it the other day. It does bring back memories of when I lived in Cardiff as a child. Barra Brith is great and your instructions are very easy. Only problem is it's very hard to hide up. So before you know it there's only the last slice left.

[@Makethemhearragtime]

I remember now, that it would all go in one sitting in Cardiff. Hence why cut and come again cake will be my next cake. It implies there's more than one slice for the cook.

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

You're right, it's not on my website. I really must add it as it's one of my most popular recipes! So glad you found the recipe easy to follow. We love this one and seeing your message, I'm tempted to make one again this week too. ...and yes, you certainly need to hide it well...😎

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Absolutely...😋

[@judith4985]

Hello Margaret, Just found your website and KZbin videos yesterday. I was looking for a Bara Brith recipe and decided to try yours. Made it this afternoon. It smells wonderful! I’ll wrap it up and let it mellow for a couple of days, which is going to be hard to do. I can’t wait to try it! Thank you for the recipe! Judith Smider Saskatchewan, Canada

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Hello Judith, Pleased you found what you were looking for. We really enjoy this one. Don't forget lashings of butter...😉

[@malcytull]

Wow, that look delicious, thank you for this video.

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

My pleasure 😊

[@GingerSnapKitchen]

I’ve never heard of this, Margaret, but it appeals to me very much! It’s quite lovely. Thank you for sharing it with us! 🙂

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Hi there Stephanie, yes it's quite an unusual one...😁👍

[@MitchAndPhilip]

This looks so delicious. Well done Margaret!

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Thanks guys, always good to see you... 👀 👍

[@judith4985]

Hi Margaret, We couldn’t wait two days. It made it overnight! Lol My husband and I loved it, and yes, we had lashings of butter. Too much, but it was delicious! I want to try your sticky buns next! They look so good! Judith 😊

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Wonderful! You'll love them! Thanks for getting back to me...👍

[@bertpoppy94]

That looks really appetising I could polish that of with a cup of tea 😊

[@AndrewsSimplecooking]

Hi Margaret this Looks super delicious am glad your put plenty of butter on it makes a huge difference i was wondering Margaret do you perhaps have your own Malt Loaf recipe ? I have made one but it just did`nt turn out right and the shop bought ones are nothing like they used to be have a good weekend my friend

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Hi Andrew, thanks for your kind words. Always good to have you stop by...👍 PS I have a malt loaf recipe coming up soon, watch this space....👋

[@christinebeames712]

So no butter? It looks lovely just sibbed

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Thanks Christine, That's right, no butter... It's very moreish and my sister and I love this one as it reminds us of our childhood. .. Great to have you on board...😀👍

[@danandoliver3613]

Can I write this one in my recipe book?

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

If it's for your own use, then feel free. If you're publishing it, then do add a credit to Miss Margaret @MargaretsMakeandBake. Have a great day...👍

I didn’t have to use an egg for the batter to come together. Slightly concerned if I didn’t anything wrong

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Hi, It's quite a wet batter when the egg is added. It really does need the egg to make the right texture once it's cooked. Hope it came out OK and don't forget to spread the sliced loaf with slatherings of butter. Thanks for popping by...👋

[@nancythomas-wardm.b.a2993]

oups no sugar house..cross finger as i.ll use honey!! Meryy Christmas all...xxx n

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

I see no reason why that wouldn't work in this recipe... Looking forward to hearing how it comes out...👍

[@jrb4935]

It takes three days?

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Hah ha, yes, we have to be patient with this one...😁👍

[@sallywilson1343]

Lovely! May I respectfully suggest that you use a plate instead of clingfilm to cover the bowl? The earth is suffering extreme toxicity from overuse of plastic, which is so often non-recyclable.

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Thanks for your comment and respecting your opinion. Have a good day...🙂

No fat in this recipe?

No fat inside the recipe but loads of butter on the top is essential...😉

Copy of Irish T Brack

[@MargaretsMakeandBake]

Yes it is very similar 😀 I have not heard of Irish T Brack, so have googled it! It looks lovely. I imagine with human migration, many bakes have crossed over boarders and been changed over time. Thanks for teaching me something new today...👍
