Tom Barbour inspired me to start the BUN THREAD. His events have the best post race hospitality bun tables on the circuit. If anyone has food recipes which are good for feeding the heart and soul of us running dudes, fire the details on here.
Can I recommend a recipe for a filling low fat, dietary fibre training aid. I seriously call this a training aid because its helped me lose a few pounds over the months ( I have run out and can't stop eating those McVities Yogurt topped biscuits damn things -tasty though!) It gives a good energy boost between meals.
Ingredients
500g/KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN
500g/caster sugar
1375g/mixed dried fruit
1500 ml/(Use semi skimmed to keep fat content down)
500g self raising flour
Cooking Instructions
Put KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN, sugar and dried fruit into a basin and mix them well together.
Stir in milk and leave ALL-BRAN to stand for half an hour.
Sieve in the flour, mixing well, and pour mixture into 4 well greased 2 lb (900g) loaf tin.
Bake in a moderate oven, 180°C (350°F) Gas Mark 4, for about 1 hour.
The above is actually for 5 loaves but if you divide the mixture between 4 tins it is deeper and moister. Watch cooking time though. I vary temperature and use a skewer frequently to check on cooking process.
And why 4 loaves!. It tastes fantastic, the family will love it and a good supply is needed. Have baked a few dozen of these now and not fed up of it yet. Doesn't need marg or butter but now and again with a wee bit jam is good.
BUN APPETITE!
