Ingredients
- 8 ounces self raising flour
- 4 ounces butter
- 2 ounces lard
- 3 ounces sugar
- 2 ounces currants
- 3 ounces sultanas
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk, to mix
Method
- Rub the butter and lard into the flour, and add sugar, fruit, lemon rind and spices. Mix with beaten egg and a little milk to a stiff, pastry-like dough.
- Roll out 1/4" thick, and cut into 2" rounds. Grease the griddle or pan with a little fat and put it on a moderate heat. Cook the cakes about 3 minutes on each side, turning over as they become golden brown and risen. If they brown too quickly, turn the heat down.
- Sprinkle with a little sugar while still warm. Eat hot or cold. They keep fresh for several days if stored in an air-tight tin.
