Add 3-4oz of grated mature cheddar, and about 1pt of buttermilk and mix gently until it all comes together, no need to knead, just pop it into a loaf tin that you have lined with baking parchment.

Fold in flour mixture, sultanas, mixed peel, almonds, and mixed fruit. Add Guinness. Mix well. Turn it to a greased and lined 8-inch tin. Bake in the center of the oven ( 300°f) for 120 minutes.
