Cooking Directions

Melt margarine, sugar, honey, and stout in a saucepan over low heat. Let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and spices.
Add melted mixture and an egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until combined.
Mix in dried fruit of choice (such as raisins or currants).
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Pour batter into a greased 9x4 inch loaf tin.
Bake for 45 minutes on the center shelf.

Let the bun cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
