Malt loaf
4 cups self raising flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar

Put the milk, water, syrup and malt into a pan and warm.
Remove from the heat.
Sieve the flour and salt into a large basin and stir in the fruit and sugar.
Add the liquid and beat well.
Put the mixture into a greased loaf tin and bake at 150 degrees C for 1 hour.

Malt Loaf

1/2 tsp mixed spice
150g mixed fruit

Havent thought about that stuff for years. My kids loved the orange flavour one. Is it still made! I dont think I have seen it in the supermarkets
dibble35, Feb 24, 6:29pm
I saw some a few weeks ago. Countdown, only small tins though. And not sure whether it was the original or orange flavoured one
cookessentials, Feb 24, 6:44pm
Yes, it is still available. We used to have the orange one with the fish oil in it. Used to love it,I have seen it at Moore Wilson and Pack N Save. Mum used to make malt loaf with it too.delicious!

I have the Countdown app on my phone so had a look. Countdown Tauranga have the plain in 1500gr or 550gr. No mention of the orange flavour. I'll look in Pak n Save next time I am there

From maltexo.co.nz "Maltexo Plus is now de-listed while we work on a new formula due to the unavailability of Halibut Oil'I fancy that message has been there for a year or two.

Malt is usually sold in the health section of supermarkets - where vitamin tablets etc are sold, and often on the very bottom shelf. I made bran muffins recently, no golden syrup so used malt. yum!
