  • 1 level teaspoon Odlums Baking Powder
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 2 dessertspoons Sugar
  • 50g/2oz Butter or Margarine

  2. Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar and mix well.
  3. Rub the butter/margarine into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the sultanas or raisins, if used, and mix through.
  4. Finally add the egg and sufficient milk to make a soft dough, not too wet or sticky. Turn onto a lightly floured board and gently knead, just enough to bring the dough together.
  5. Transfer to the prepared baking tray and shape into a round about 4cm/1½" deep. Cut a cross on top.
