Your instructions say to Sift flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, spice mix, and salt to large bowl. How much granulated sugar. I don't see it in the ingredients list.

judac49, I believe English loaf pans can come in three sizes. The 1/2 lb loaf pan is 6 " by 3.5 ". The 1 lb loaf pan is 7" by 5 " and the 2 lb loaf pan is 10" by 5". Thanks! Blair, Editor at RecipeLion.com.
