📝 Ingredients
- 225g/8oz self-raising flour
- 75g/2½oz caster sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 125g/4½oz unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 150g/5½oz dried fruit (raisins, sultanas or currants)
- 1 free-range egg
- 1 tbsp milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
👨🍳 Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Line a large baking tray with baking paper (use two trays if yours are smaller).
- 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, milk and vanilla extract together.
- 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 need it to make the mixture stick together.
- Place spoonfuls 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 15â20 minutes, until golden-brown. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool. Best eaten while still warm.
