Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz or 225g plain flour (all-purpose flour)
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 oz or 55g butter
  • 3 tbsp caster sugar

  • Rub in the butter with your fingers until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Stir through the sultanas, sugar and grated lemon rind.
  • Beat the egg and milk together in a small bowl or jug. Add most of this to the dry ingredients and mix to form a soft dough. You may not need all the egg/milk mixture.
