Is it just me, or does anyone else toast malt loaf? It's the greatest post-winter ride snack, with a good cuppa. Everyone I've fed it to (or even mentioned it to) says "that's brilliant, I've never had toasted malt loaf".
Surely someone else does it?
A couple of tips if you are trying it for the first time:
- It goes from "not quite toasted" to "on fire" in about 15 seconds. I use a kitchen timer, 1m 45s with my toaster.
- It gets really hot. Must be all the sugar.
- You'll probably have to fish it out with something pointy. Turn the toaster off first.
- Works best with lashings of butter.
any sort of malt loaf (except the inevitable mouse-flavoured option) is sublime. toasted is amazing, though hard to create as the malt load tends to get eaten before it gets to the toaster 🙂
*runs off to shop to buy malt loaf* 😀
hehe, i obviously meant "malt loaf", rather than "malt load"!
oooh, must try this. i love malt loaf.
I toast mine too and apply the butter very liberally. I started toasting as we always have an emergency loaf in the freezer that I wasn't paitient enough to let defrost.
I also like malt loaf and custard a la microwave......mmmmm
I love toasted malt loaf, I've got my children hooked on it too 😀
The butter on malt loaf has to be sliced, not spread.
Like it MrsF 😛
Toasted malt loaf, dripping in butter. Then for the pièce de résistance...
Marmite!
Mmmm!
Toasted malt loaf? Well I never did.
I must buy some Soreen this weekend and get burning!
Why on earth have I never thought of doing this?!
Just a little aside...............Malt loaf + Nutella .......... OMG :-p
never thought to try this - good one!
yep. good tips there.
best toasted with butter & strawb jam. mmmm
going to try the toasted option for mid-afternoon snack as I feel it will be good for getting rid of my cold......along with the red wine i will be having later 😉

I know what you mean.
I think.
You were talking about the joys of warm chocolate spread?
Weren't you?
The joys of it in general!!!
not yet convinced... I will try it... but I am sceptical. not sure toasting it will add anything to a great product.
Undecided, Devon.
I'm in the no-butter/spread/jam etc camp when eating Soreen but this toasting thing intrigues me..... 🙂
Yummy
It's a bit depressing when you get excited about post winter ride snacks in the middle of august though 😐 **** off rain!!
Give it a try... just a little bit... it won't hurt...
I wear one of these

Sad I know.
BLASPHEMER!!!!!!!!!!!!
How about bread and butter pudding made with malt loaf only about a thousand calories per serving YYYUUUMMM
[b][u]Fruit Malt surprise[/u][/b]
1. Cut loaf into 1cm thick slices.
2. Butter 1 side.
3. Then use a variety of spreads + jams on the other side - peanut butter, strawberry jam, blackcurrant, etc.
4. Arrange on a plate butter side up - then serve.
5. Watch the surprise as your family + friends expect just a plain piece of buttered malt loaf.
[u][b]Swedish Malt Loaf Roulette[/b][/u]
1. Recipe to number 2 above.
2. Arrange on plate.
3. Then secretly place a piece of pickled herring under one slice.
4. Then pretend you are in The Deerhunter - but obviously use the malt loaf instead of guns and the herring as a bullet.
yeh, malt loaf's nice and all that, but for flammability, opportunity for 3rd degree burns AND tooth decay..
Pop Tarts FTW !!!

I miss Soreen...
Australia - so ****ing behind!! ;D
Toasted is good, but hardly lasts long enough to get to that stage for me either.
PSA : Morrisons had XL Soreen on BOGOFF last night!
I have a supply of the bogof malt loaf in the cupboard. I must try the toasting thing this afternoon when de-cacking the bike.
It's a taste sensation. Just when you thought malt loaf could not get any better...
Two slices of malt loaf, add two slices of butter and a fresh coffee.

Make sure you get the large one and cut it length ways before toasting, to make big molten hot rectangles. Piddly little squares don't compete.
Nice with Dairylea on.
Strangely, as well as toasted Malt Loaf, I prefer Pop Tarts cold (great energy snack)
doesn't have to just be for the winter!! sling it on the bbq
then add plenty of butter!!
yum yum
I saw this thread.
I entered the thread, expecting to post something along the lines of
'nnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo that's just not right'.
I will shortly be leaving this thread to go buy malt loaf and, ahem, experiment.... 8)
I'll just running down to Morrisons, however poking the toaster with a knife to retrieve the malt loaf seems like asking for trouble is all.
Must try this in the morning before tomorrows local ride
I've been doing it for years, and can safely say it's the best thing since malt loaf was invented 😀
Malt loaf is a diabetics worst nightmare... it really is [b][i]that [/i][/b]good!
Now, there's not much better than toasted Malt Loaf. Except...

Fresh, home made Bara Brith. First time I've made in a silicon loaf tin, so it's big fat at the top - smells supreme though 8)
Well after reading this thread i toasted my first bit of Malt Loaf a minute ago. Oh my ****ing god!
Now i need to find a way to take a toaster out on the bike with me as well now....
Today I found a new love. Many thanks Beej

It even made it to the Flickr photo a day pool [url= http://www.flickr.com/groups/941393@N25/ ]CLICKY HERE[/url]
I'm 47 years old and thought Soreen couldn't be improved. You really do live and learn. That Bara Brith looks good too.

So wrong it must be right.
I feel all warm and fuzzy that I have, in some small way, enriched peoples lives.

And so you should, we love you 😳
Guess what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow?
Supper time soon as well!!!
i'm sill not sure about toasted malt-loaf, but Lincolnshire plum-loaf is awesome toasted so i might give it a try.
Ommm nomm nommm 😀
Don't burn it as it's not as nice.
Was toasted just enough to go chewy on the edges......perfect!!
Why have I never done this?!?!?!
This oversight must be rectified.
Report back in approx 6 minutes with your findings ;-P
just tried this after reading thread.wow,seriously yummy-so simple but soooo nice!!!
Just toasted some Lincolnshire Plum Malt Loaf and that gets a thumbs up.
damn it,was at morrisons and saw a special offer on soreen malt loaf(obviously didn't buy any).damn you all(only joking) 🙂
I have gone off malt loaf.
I discovered it makes a fantastic meal suppliment. So fantastic in fact, I ate two of the things straight from the pack for 3 days running. Kept me going a treat and filled me up nicely................................. 2 weeks and a prescription later I finaly "ejected" the part my body didn't use. Worryingly, had I kept the bag, I could probably have taken it back for a full refund, It looked exactly the same (round, not square obviously!!)
Let that be a lesson to you all, it cloggs you up.
Sorry if anyone was eating while reading that, which is more than I could do with burst blood vessels in me eyes!!:-0
Immense!!
In all my years of eating this stuff, I can't believe this simple enhancement never occurred to me. Now all I need is a solar or battery-powered toaster that'll fit in a daKine helipack and we're laughing.
Thank you OP!
yay that works - just tried it with the cinnamon variant - tasty.
Tried toasting - have to say I'm not convinced! Have another loaf in the cupboard so might try experimenting again this afternoon.
