Date and Walnut Tea Bread

Name: Date and Walnut Tea Bread
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 50 min
Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients: 100 g Dates; 1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of soda; 1/2 Rind of a lemon; 100 ml Hot tea; 40 g Unsalted butter; 70 g Light muscovado sugar; 1 Egg; 125 g Self-raising flour; 25 g Walnuts; Walnut halves

This might sound old fashioned but it doesn’t taste it, then again I’m probably the one who’s old fashioned. It's deliciously moist from soaking in the tea, with the dates providing a rich, sweet, caramel flavour and slight chew. Then the walnuts are the perfect combination with their nutty and almost savoury flavour. This lathered in some real butter along with a cuppa is seriously good.
