   1       ts           Mixed spice -- level
     1/2   ts           Salt

 125       g            Sultanas

  Sift flour, spice, salt, and caster sugar, into a bowl. Chop butter
  into small pieces and add that, and then all remaining
  ingredients--remember to peel the bananas first and mash them with
  a fork. Mix thoroughly. Turn the mixture into a 22 cm (9") loaf
  tin. Bake at 180°C for 1 hour, then for another 30 minutes at
  160°C. Remove from the tin and cool on a rack. Serve thinly sliced
  and buttered--like most tea loaves, it tastes all the better for
  keeping.
