Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C and line 2 baking sheets. Tip the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips to create a fine breadcrumb-like texture.
- Stir in the honey, caster sugar, dried fruit, glacé cherries and egg, then stir through 3 tbsp of the milk. Mix to form a thick, lumpy, sticky batter, adding an extra 1 tbsp milk if it’s a little dry. Spoon heaped dessertspoonfuls onto the lined baking sheets, leaving enough space for spreading.
- Bake for 20-25 mins until golden, then leave to cool on the baking sheet for 5 mins. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
