Time 40m

Yield Makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

200g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp mixed spice
100g butter
85g light muscovado sugar
100g mixed dried fruit
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp milk
demerara sugar, or roughly crushed sugar cubes, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Tip the flour, baking powder and 1 tsp spice into a bowl. Add the butter, cut into small pieces. Rub the butter into the flour until the mixture forms fine crumbs (or do this in the food processor).
  • Stir in the muscovado sugar and fruit, then add the egg and milk. Mix to a fairly firm dough. Spoon 10 rough blobs of the mixture onto the baking sheet, leaving room for a little spreading. Mix together the sugar and remaining mixed spice and sprinkle over the cakes. Bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown.
