I love Pudina Tal Hobs. We were in Malta this Sept and I always make it when we’re there. I put raisins in mine instead of chocolate and I even put a few drops of whiskey, mmmm so good.
open note pad and copy and paste the recipe
What is the pkt of Sultana?? We don’t have that here in the States. We just have the real Sultana’s : )
Hi Sylvia
With 800 to 900g loaf of bread I use a full cup of sultanas, there is not much sugar in it so a little bit more won’t hurt.
Also I dont soak it in milk but in water and put some Marsala or Port in it too.
Good luck
Jane
