Servings 20 cakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup Flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup soft butter or margarine
- ¼ cup Granulated sugar
- ½ cup mixed dried fruits (i.e. currants, raisins, diced apricots, blueberries, cranberries
- 1 medium egg
- 1 – 3 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp Dark brown sugar for sprinkling
- 1 Oil for greasing for greasing
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400F. Light grease a baking sheet or use parchment paper
- Mix flour and baking powder into a large baking bowl, add the softened butter, and lightly rub together with fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add the sugar and the dried fruit and mix so all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add the egg and 1 tbsp of the milk and mix to create a stiff dough. If the mixture is still dry add milk a tbsp at a time until required consistency. Add a little more flour if too wet.
- Using a tablespoon divide the mixture into 12 mounds evenly spaced on the 2 baking sheets. If you are an experienced baker you likely already own a small scoop which will make quick work and perfect cakes.
- Sprinkle with the demerara sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
