This is a recipe I came across a long time ago, and I’ve cooked it every now and again since. I found it in a book somewhere, and modified it slightly.
Makes 10.
Ingredients
200g Self Raising Flour
Pinch of Salt
75g Butter
75g Sugar
75g Dried Fruit
1 Egg
1-2 tbsp Water
Method
Light the oven, gas 7, 220oC. Place the shelf just above the centre, if possible. Grease a baking tray.
Sieve the flour and salt into a bowl, run in the butter and then stir in the sugar and dried fruit. Beat the egg lightly, and add it to the mixture. If necessary, add the water. The mixture must be firm enough to stand in heaps.
Divide into 10 and place in rough heaps on the baking sheet. Bake for about 15mins until firm and golden brown. Cool on a wire tray.
