    • 16⅔ g sugar

    Rub together butter, flour and sugar to a fine crumb with your finger tips.

    Make a well in the centre of the mixture, then add the beaten egg and sultanas/raisins. Mix initially with a spoon to combine, then make into a firm dough.

    • rolling pin

    Roll out onto a floured surface using a rolling pin. Roll out to a thickness of 0.75cm.

  • Step 5/7

    • cookie cutter

  • Step 6/7

    • Bake stone

    Using a very heavy saucepan, or a bake stone heated to a low/medium heat, cook one side at a time until golden brown, then flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown.

  • Step 7/7

    When cooked, put onto a sugared plate to cool, and sprinkle with more sugar. These are best warm, and with a little jam if preferred!

  • Enjoy your meal!
