LAURA'S LOVELY FRUIT SCONES
Yield 10 Scones
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius / gas mark 7 / 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the butter, flour and baking powder to a chilled mixing bowl and using your hands rub the butter and the flour together, making a light, crumbly mixture. You want to keep all of these ingredients as cool as possible whilst doing this, then stir in the sugar and the and the dried fruit.
- Add the milk and all but one tablespoon of the eggs into the flour mixture, until it makes a moist, soft dough.
- Lightly flour your work surface and turn out the dough. Gather the dough into a ball, and then roll out until it is roughly three quarters of an inch thick. Cut out as many circles as you can (I normally get about 10) and add them to a lightly greased baking tray.
- Brush all of the scones with the rest of the egg, then add to the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they have risen and turned a light golden-brown colour
- Remove the scones and leave to cool on a wire rack.
BETTY'S OF YORK TEA ROOM FAT RASCALS - FRUIT BUNS/SCONES
When I worked in York, I used to nip down to Betty's of York Tea Rooms in my lunch break and treat myself to one of these delicious buns! Actually, they are a cross between a bun and a scone, and Betty's Fat Rascals differ from some other recipes, as they have whole blanched almonds and glace cherries on top! The origin of the name is unknown, but they are thought to have been made since the mid 19th Century - under the name of Fat Rascals! They originate from Yorkshire and Durham, and are very popular in most bakeries in the North East of England. These tasty fruit and peel buns are wonderful with a cuppa, to take on a picnic or, to tuck into a lunch box for the hungry workers and children! The original recipe uses lard, probably where the word "Fat" comes from - but I am not a lover of lard, so I have specified butter. A poignant historical note: A few years after Betty's opened its doors in York war broke out, and Betty's - in particular the basement 'Betty's Bar' - became a favourite haunt of thousands of airmen stationed around York. 'Betty's Mirror', on which many of them engraved their signatures with a diamond pen, remains on display today as a fitting tribute to their bravery, as obviously, some never came back. (NB: I note that a reviewer has said these are NOT Betty's Fat Rascals!! Well of course they aren't, as I don't have the "secret" recipe - but they are a very close match! There are dozens of Fat Rascals recipes throughout Yorkshire, this recipe is as close as you will get outside Betty's Tea Room! Enjoy them as a typical Yorkshire treat, as I still do in France!)

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7 and grease or line a baking sheet, or a cookie sheet.
- Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix well.
- Add the cream and mix to a stiff paste - a firm dough.
- Roll the mixture out on a floured board, to about 1" thickness and stamp out rounds, of about 3" in diameter. ( You can also shape the fat rascals by hand; take a piece of dough, about the size of a small egg, and make a small ball - flatten it out slghtly into bread roll shapes - like a bread bap shape.)
- Arrange them on the greased baking tray and glaze them generously with the beaten egg.
- Then place 2 whole blanched almonds on top with a halved glace cherry for decoration - pushing them down gently into the dough, so they do not fall off during baking!
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they have risen and are golden brown.
- Allow to cool on a wire cooling rack.
- Store them in an airtight tin for up to 4 days.
