2 cups of plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
6tbsp butter {or dairy free spread}
1/3 cup caster sugar, extra to sprinkle over the finished cakes

Milk to mix
H O W ~ T O
* Sieve flour and baking powder into a bowl, and rub in butter
* Stir in mixed spice, sugar and fruit
* Mix in the egg, and just enough butter to bring it all together into a dough
* Roll out to about 1 cm thickness, and cut into rounds {I used a small tumbler as my cutter!}
* Cook in a buttered griddle pan for around 4-5 minutes each side, until they’re golden brown.
* Toss in some caster sugar.
Serve warm as they are or spread with a little butter!
