We made this at a kids’ cookery class. The recipe is perfect as very little weighing so the kids can do a lot, but I found the class itself hard-going… too much fuss!
3 tbsp. currants
1 tbsp. chopped mixed peel
2 tbsp. caster sugar
110g SR flour
mixed spice
60g butter
1 egg
Mix the currants, chopped peel and sugar in a little bowl
Put the flour and mixed spice in a another bowl
rub the butter into the flour until it looks like breadcrumbs
Add the sugar mix to the flour and lightly mix
Add the beaten egg, bit by bit (you might not need the whole thing)
Make into 5 and bake for 15-20 mins
