Fruit Scones Recipe – Fortisip Compact Vanilla

Ingredients

• 1 (125ml) bottle Vanilla Fortisip Compact
• 250g / 6oz self-raising flour
• 30g butter at room temperature
• 30g mixed dried fruit
• 15g caster sugar
• ½ eggbeaten

Method / Preparation

• Sieve the flour into a bowl and sprinkle in the sugar. Rub the butter in lightly until the mixture looks crumbly.
• Add the dried fruit. Pour in the beaten egg and Fortisip Compact and mix to a dough. Allow to rest for 10-15 minutes.
• Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured working surface. Roll it out to approx 2½ cm / 1in thick and cut out scones using a cutter.
• Place the scones on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 220ºC / 425ºF / Gas mark 7 for approx 10 minutes, or until they are well risen and golden brown. These scones are delicious served warm with butter or cream and jam.

Notes

• Chef’s Tip

  For a little variety, try adding chopped glacé cherries or blueberries in place of the dried fruit. Any left over scones will freeze perfectly well.
