1oz sugar;
A pinch of salt;

Optional additions:
Add to dry mixture after step 2 (cutting in the margarine);
2Oz raisins, currants, etc;
1/2 tsp orange or lemon zest;
1/2 tsp cinnamon;
1 tsp baking powder;

Preparation:
Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar (or replacement). Place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Brush tops with milk.

Method:
[01] Preheat the oven to 220oc / 425of or gas mark 7.

[02] Rub the margarine into the flour and salt until it resembles bread crumbs.

[03] Stir in the sugar and mixed fruit until well mixed.

[04] Add the milk, leaving tow teaspoons for later use, then need into a mixture.

[05] Sprinkle some flour over a clean surface.

[06] Roll out the mixture too about an inch thick.
