Ingredients

  • 225 g self-raising flour
  • 110 g margarine cubed
  • 75 g mixed dried fruit
  • 40 g caster sugar
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoon semi skimmed milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180C Fan
  • Lightly grease a baking tray
  • Place the flour in a large bowl. Add the cubes of margarine and rub the margarine into the flour with your fingertips to form a breadcrumb like mixture.
  • Stir in the dried fruit and caster sugar. Then stir in the egg.
  • Form a large ball and using your hands make mounds of equal amounts of the mixture and place them onto the baking tray and brush with the milk.
  • Bake in the centre of oven for 10 – 15 minutes until cooked. To check they are cooked through insert a skewer into the centre of one of the buns which will come out clean if they are done.
  • Place the buns on a wire rack to cool. Then store in an airtight container and consume within 3 - 4 days.
