Ingredients

  • Self-raising Flour : 225g
  • Caster Sugar : 75g
  • Baking Powder : 1 tsp
  • Butter : 125g
  • Dried Fruit : 150g
  • Eggs : 1
  • Instructions

    Preheat oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
    Mix the flour, sugar and baking powder in a bowl and rub in the cubed butter until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs, then mix in the dried fruit.
    In a clean bowl, beat the egg and milk together with the vanilla extract.
    Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until the mixture just comes together as a thick, lumpy dough. Add a teaspoon more milk if you really need it to make the mixture stick together.
    Place golfball-sized spoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking tray. Leave space between them as they will flatten and spread out to double their size during baking.
    Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden-brown. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a couple of minutes then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool.
