I'm Welsh and grew up with a Nanna that made the most delicious Bara Brith. There are SO many variations on how to make it, which always fires up conversations in local communities! My Nanna's was more of a cake than a bread and she used only currants and never tea because she said that was more of a Scottish thing (her words not mine). She would initially start the mix like she was making pastry, by crumbing the butter and flour together first, and then adding the sugar and then the egg. Currants last. I have very treasured memories of making it with her when I was little.
Always lovely when a new Nigella video appears! I cannot get enough of her! Listening to her old cooking shows with my headphones on makes doing all of my daily tasks and chores very bearable 😅
That looks truly delicious. I haven't tasted bara brith in years! As we might say in Wales for this lovely recipe... _Ardderchog!_ (Excellent!) Nigella, thanks for the plug for Wales.
Yummy - that bings back memories. Tea time at my granny’s house with slices of bara brith spread thickly with salty butter, and a piping hot cup of strong tea on the side.
Back when I was in high school my cooking teacher was an older Welsh woman and for my final project I thought about her, what she’d like to eat and how I could make her happy so I made Bara Brith. She loved it and I loved my A+. What a joy to see you make it too. Thank you for the memories.
Hope to see Nigella back on the BBC again or release a new cookbook soon. Her Amsterdam Christmas special was magical. I’m guessing with the release of these new recipes & videos we may be in for another comeback! ☺️
A mix of sultanas, raisins, currants and candied mixed peel - we can find ready-mixed packets in any UK supermarket baking aisle. The candied peel is a bit of a vote splitter in lots of households, I prefer just using sultanas and raisins.
This is the "fruitcake" recipe I've hoped to find! The only thing I did differently is I added 2 TBS. of marmelade; I incorporated the butter into the batter and I baked it in a nonstick bundt pan. It took only an hour to bake. I also made my own mixed spice. (Googled it) After it cooled I enjoyed two slices with butter....lovely! (I couldn't wait) 🙂
The two are related. The barm in old Scottish Gaelic corresponds to Welsh bara, meaning bread. Another word in older Welsh was bara brech. Brech like brith means ‘speckled’ and is connected to the ‘brack’ element. All Celtic tea breads.

I'm American and never heard of Bara Brith. I'm definitely giving this a shot. I'm a big fan of specialty breads and coffee cakes and such
You can never go wrong with a bit of Nigella ♥

Beautiful Nigella making a beautiful tea brack.......mum used to make it and it never lasted long......
I love how low-tech Nigella is working, just a spoon, a fork, a knife... no mixer, no food processor, no thermomixers ... ^^

POST NIGELLA KITCHEN EPISODES
It’s called Barmbrack
The two are related. The barm in old Scottish Gaelic corresponds to Welsh bara, meaning bread.
Another word in older Welsh was bara brech. Brech like brith means ‘speckled’ and is connected to the ‘brack’ element.
All Celtic tea breads.
Xmas cake ..
2 outfits!
Two different days. She soaked the fruits overnight, as she said in the video 🤦
I really do have Welsh blood, I do. I just don't like dried fruit.... 😕
Why do people call fruit cakes barabrith, proper barabrith was made with yeast.
Originally yes but I don’t think many peopel make fruited leavened dough like that anymore.
The cake has evolved over the years.
Ew this is such an old person cake!! 🤮
What on earth is an old person cake ? It's a traditional recipe and it tastes divine. You just stick to your Dunkin' Donuts.
I like her, but she sounds like the old lady, i mean her voice...
Delicious
