Ingredients
Method
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine the flour, starch, baking powder, baking soda, xanthin gum, cinnamon and salt. Heat the butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter turns a nut brown colour then remove from heat and set aside. In a large bowl combine maple syrup, buttermilk and eggs then stir in browned butter. Add wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined, then stir in walnuts. Pour into a well-greased 9×5-inch loaf pan then bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until risen and a toothpick in the middle comes out clean.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.
A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
