Ingredients
225g self-raising flour
1 level tsp mixed spice
115g butter, cut into cubes
100g granulated sugar
125g mixed dried fruit
1 large egg, beaten
1-2 tbsp milk
Marzipan, to decorate
Method
1
Pre-heat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Sift the flour and mixed spice into a bowl.
2
Add the butter, then rub in with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and fruit.
3
Stir in the egg and 1 tbsp milk to make a stiff dough. You may need extra milk - add a teaspoon at a time.
4
Put in 10 piles on the trays and press lightly into bun shapes. Roll the marzipan to make thin strips. Put on top of the cakes to make crosses.
5
Bake for 15 minutes, then leave to cool on a wire rack.
