English Translation

Ingredients:

225g self-raising flour
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1 tsp mixed herbs, finely chopped
1 egg, beaten
120ml milk
115g streaky bacon, cooked and cut into pieces
50g butter
lard, to grease

Method:

Sift the flour into a bowl and season with salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste. Dice the butter then rub into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. At this point stir in the herbs and the bacon.

In a separate bowl, beat together the milk and the eggs then add this to the flour mix and bring together to form a soft dough.

Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface then knead gently and form into a round shape. Transfer to a loaf tin that's been thoroughly greased with lard. Mark the top of the loaf into six parts.

Transfer the tin to an oven pre-heated to 220°C and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and cooked through. When cooked turn out onto a wire rack.

The loaf can be served either warm or at room temperature.
