Ingredients
  • 400g Strong white flour
  • 75g Butter, softened
  • 50g Caster sugar
  • A pinch of nutmeg
  • Rind of 1 lemon, finely grated
  • 2 Tsp Dried yeast
  • 2 Eggs, lightly beaten
  • 150ml Milk, warmed
  • 125g Seedless raisins
  • 50g Candied citrus peel
Instructions
  1. Place the flour in a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine bread crumbs.
  2. Pour in the caster sugar, nutmeg, lemon and orange rind, yeast, raisins and candied peel.
  3. Add the eggs and the warm milk and mix this until a dough comes together.

  9. Insert the paper into the pan to line the surround.
  10. After the first rise, punch the dough down, then tip it out onto the work surface. Knead the dough for 3 to 5 minutes, then transfer it to the pan. Press the dough into the pan, cover loosely with cling wrap and allow this to rise for a further 45 minutes in a warm place.
  11. Bake the panettone in a preheated at 180c or 350f for 45 minutes until it is a deep golden brown color and sounds hollow when tapped. Check the top for browning halfway through and cover loosely with foil if it is browning to quickly.
  12. Remove the loaf from the oven and turn it out onto a wire rack to cool. Sift a generous layer of icing sugar over the top of the loaf. Allow the loaf to cool completely before cutting.
  13. This loaf will keep for months stored loosely wrapped in a cool, dry place.

  2. Slice the muffins in half and place them face down in the bacon fat. Fry these until they are crisp and golden and warmed through.
  3. Wipe the pan out carefully with kitchen paper, then half fill the pan with boiling kettle water, then pour in the vinegar.
  4. Crack the eggs carefully into the water and allow them to poach for 3 minutes.... the whites will be cooked, and the yolks will still be soft. Arrange the muffins on platters, top the muffins with 2 rashers of bacon each, top the bacon with the eggs, then top the whole lot with the Hollandaise sauce.
  5. Season with salt and cracked black pepper and serve immediately.
