BONNACH TÌ - NAN MEASAN TIORAM

TÀTHCHUIDEAN

  • 1 c / 240 ml tì dubh làidir
  • 1 c / 150 g measan tioram measgaichte 
  • 1/2 c / 100 g siùcar donn
  • 1 ugh
  • 2-3 tbsp / 30-45 ml ìm leaghte no ola
  • 1/2 tsp / 2–3 ml cainnel agus pinneag bheag cnò-mhùsg
  • 2 c / 250 g flùr-èirigh

CEUMANNAN

  • Bog na measan anns an tì theth – obraichidh beagan mhionaidean, tha uair no dhà nas fheàrr, agus ‘s thar na h-oidhche as fheàrr
  • Na dòirt air falbh an tì
  • Measgaich na tàthchuidean uile ach am flùr
  • Cuir ris am flùr agus measgaich gu socair
  • Fuine aig 325–350°F / 165–175°C airson 60-75 mionaidean

NOTA

  • Faodar treacle a chleachdadh airson blas nas traidiseanta
  • Ma tha thu a’ cleachdadh molasses Ameireaganach, cleachd molasses àbhaisteach - chan e “blackstrap” - agus measgaich e le siùcar, 1/4 c / 50 g gach fear
  • Airson inneach nas buige, faodar an ìm leaghte a mheudachadh no a dhùblachadh
