Put the sultanas, raisins, butter and water into a pan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool a little.

Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar.
Step 4:
Pour in the warm fruit mixture and add the beaten egg and malt extract. Mix well until blended.
Step 5:
Pour into the prepared tin and bake for for 35 - 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool.

Recipe Reviews
This is the simplest recipe, have made this every couple of weeks, great fresh with butter
Love this recipe, easy to make and has a great taste 👍🏻
I use a loaf tin grease proof liner
Great malt loaf that lasts well if you can manage not to eat it in one day 😀
We love this malt loaf. I use chopped dates, not sultanas/raisins and always double the recipe, one is not enough!! The timing is hit and miss, mine takes longer to bake because I doub it. Trial and error but always worth it.
Delicious every time I make it, I added a few tweaks for my own liking, i use chopped dates with the sultanas and 3 tablespoons of malt, it turns out decadent and perfect. ☺
Many thanks.
Very good. I used double quantity of everything to fit a larger tin. Quadrupled the malt extract and did without the sultanas - just used chopped up raisins 125g is enough for a double up recipe... Thanks.... oh yes, more than an hour in the oven..
