FAT FREE MALT LOAF

Unlike some malt loafs, this doesn't use yeast to rise. This is a type of cake-like bread eaten in slices with tea. I like it with butter, but some people don't.

Tips:

  • To make a perfectly fluffy Fat-Free Malt Loaf, make sure to use self-raising flour. If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by adding 2 teaspoons of baking powder to every 1 cup of all-purpose flour.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark malt extract instead of light malt extract. You can also add a tablespoon of molasses to the batter for a deeper flavor.
  • If you don't have any malt extract, you can substitute it with an equal amount of honey or maple syrup. However, keep in mind that this will alter the flavor of the loaf slightly.
  • For a crunchy topping, sprinkle some demerara sugar or raw sugar on top of the loaf before baking. You can also add a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruit for a different texture.
  • Be sure not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the loaf dense and dry. Simply mix until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Bake the loaf in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the loaf rises evenly and doesn't sink in the middle.
  • Let the loaf cool completely before slicing. This will help to prevent the loaf from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Fat-Free Malt Loaf is a delicious, moist, and fluffy loaf that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is also a great way to use up any leftover malt extract you may have. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this loaf is a surefire hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying treat, be sure to give Fat-Free Malt Loaf a try!
