I hunted high and low for malt extract. None of the supermarkets had it, not even Waitrose! In the end I found it in Holland and Barratt.
The recipe said to make two 1lb loaves. I do not have two of these tins, so I used my multiway cake tin, and made the loaves 4 x 6in in size.
I think they would have cooked better in a proper loaf tin - my loaves were a bit firm around the edges.
You can certainly taste the malt, and the flavour is not dissimilar to malt loaf that you buy,however it is not nearly as sticky and chewy, so we only scored these loaves 7.0. Not sure that I would make them again, so if anyone wants any malt extract, let me know - my baking cupboard is full to overflowing!
Hiya Julia, we just used up our malt extract on another malted fruit loaf in the bread machine so we'd be glad to rehome it if it's still going spare? I found our new Lidl stocks vanilla pods so I can exchange you if you're interested :) Wx
