Marmalade Teabread
A moist spicy teabread with a fruity flavour. The tradition of making good, plain cakes and teabreads grew up in the country, where they were part of an early supper, eaten at the end of the day in winter or before a last bout of work in summer.
Serves 8-10 slices
7 oz	Plain flour
1 tsp	Ground ginger
1 tsp	Baking powder
2 oz	Butter, diced
2 oz	Light soft brown sugar
4 tbsp	Orange marmalade
1	Egg, beaten
3 tbsp	Milk
1 oz	Candied orange peel, chopped

	Method
-	Grease a 750 ml (1½ pint) loaf tin, then line the base with greaseproof paper and grease the paper.
-	Put the flour, ginger and baking powder in a bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
-	Stir in the sugar.
-	Mix together the marmalade, egg and most of the milk.
-	Stir in the dry ingredients and mix to a soft dough.
-	Add the rest of the milk, if necessary.

-	Turn the mixture into the prepared tin, level the surface and press the candied peel on top.
