Fate Fruit Scones

• 200g Fate Low Protein All-Purpose Mix
• 50g butter or block margarin
• Pinch of salt
• 30g castor sugar
• 1tsp baking powder
• 100g mixed dried fruit
• 150mls water
• Extra Fate Low Protein All-Purpose mix for shaping

METHOD

1. Pre-heat the oven. Gas Mark 7/200C/425F
2. Place the Fate Low Protein All-Purpose Mix into a bowl. Rub in the butter. Stir in the salt, sugar, baking powder and dried fruit.
3. Add all the water and stir well using a metal spoon, for about 30 seconds. The mixture will be very soft, but leave it for about 2-3 minutes and it will thicken.
4. Turn the mixture out onto a work surface lightly dusted with Fate Low Protein All-Purpose Mix. You do not have to knead the mixture at all.
5. Dip your hands in a little extra Fate Low Protein All-Purpose Mix and gently pat the scone mixture into a piece about 3-4cms thick.
6. Cut into 6 rough squares or use a biscuit cutter and cut into 6 rounds.
7. Place onto a greased baking tray and bake for about 12-15 minutes, until risen and golden brown.
8. Cool on a wire rack.

The scones freeze well.
