honey or malt bread
This is a recipe of my mum's that made either a yummy honeybread or a really sticky maltbread, both of which my family loved when I was growing up. Sadly my mum is no longer with us so to prevent the recipes I do have left of hers being forgotten or lost I want to post them so others can enjoy them as well.
