Pear & Cinnamon Loaf

80 mins
Serves 1 loaf
Savoury pancakes

Lightly spiced, moist and delicious, this loaf is perfect for a tea break. "Many people I know have certain food allergies and intolerances and this loaf caters for everyone. There’s no need to slather it with butter as the pear gives a creamy fruitiness to every slice, but absolutely do if it takes your fancy."
