Step 2

Grease two baking sheets.

Cut the butter into small pieces and put into a bowl with the flour. Rub together with your fingertips until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs. You can also do this in a food processor.

Step 4

Stir in the spice, Tate & Lyle Light Soft Brown Sugar and dried fruits and mix. Now add the Lyle’s Golden Syrup, egg and stir in enough milk to make a stiff dough. Place heaped teaspoons on the baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a Cooling rack.
