List of Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup chopped dried fruit (currants, raisins, cranberries or your choice)
1 1/4 cups heavy cream Recipe
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar with a fork. Add the dried fruit and mix well.
2. Add the cream and stir: It will be quite sticky. Turn the mixture onto a lightly floured board and knead 8 or 9 times. Add a little flour if it's too sticky. Shape the dough into an 8-10 inch flat round.
3. Melt 3 Tablespoons of butter. Pour the butter over the round of dough and make sure the sides are covered as well. (Mush it around with your fingers!)
4. Sprinkle the top with 2 Tablespoons of sugar.
5. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough like a pie into 12 wedges and place the wedges onto a lightly-greased cookie sheet.
6. Bake 12 to15 minutes, until golden brown.
