This slightly sweet nut bread is great for toasting and is so versatile.

3 eggs, duck or hen

1 tbsp runny honey

60g butter melted

280g ground almonds

Half tsp bread soda

Preheat the oven to 170C/ 325F/ gas mark 3. Lightly grease a 1lb loaf tin.

In a medium-sized bowl mix the eggs with an electric mixer or a fork.

Pour in the honey and melted butter and mix.

Sprinkle in the almonds and bread soda and mix until combined, ensuring there are no lumps.

Turn into a well-oiled or buttered loaf tin and smooth out the surface with a knife.

Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.

Leave to cool slightly in the tin, turn it out and enjoy with a good slather of butter.
