These are amazing!!! Have made them twice!! I made your fruited soda bread, tea scones, treacle scones, and tea brack! All fantastic! My great grannie was Manx and she was a governess in England. Amazing baker even after she went blind in her 70's!!! it is lovely to get all her bakes back. Your recipes are terrific!!! I was a good baker, and now I am even better. Thank you for teaching us what you know!!

Wow thanks do much Jean! Thanks a lot for following and watching the videos. I really appreciate it. Keep baking away so! 😊☘️☘️☘️
We in the Caribbean add grated coconut just before adding the wet ingredients! Also a bit of ginger, a zest of lime and a bit of cherry in with the fruits too....❤

Made these a couple of times and always came out good. Other than my own, the last time I had them was in 1971, Walton Jail- Liverpool. Mine were better as you would have had to be lucky to get a raisin! I have doubled the recipe and also good. Added cashew nuts as well.
