Ingredients

150g butter, chilled and cut into small cubes

225g self-raising flour

100g caster sugar

50g sunflower seeds

100g sultanas

100g dried apricots, cut into sultana-sized pieces

150ml semi-skimmed milk

2 large eggs

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Line a loaf tin with baking paper.
2
Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the sugar, seeds and dried fruit. Stir until evenly mixed. In another bowl, lightly beat the milk and eggs together. Stir into the dry mixture.
3
Put in the tin and bake for 50-55 minutes, until golden brown. To check if it’s ready, stick a skewer in the middle – it should come out clean.
4
Turn out the loaf and leave on a wire rack to cool.
