Cherry Rascals
Ingredients:
75g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
75g light brown self raising flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
50g diced and chilled, unsalted butter
50g demerara sugar
finely grated rind of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
75g dried cherries
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons full-fat milk, plus extra for brushing
2 tablespoons chopped Brazil nuts
How to Bake
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Put the flours, baking powder and butter together in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the sugar, lemon rind, spices and cherries and pulse briefly to mix. Add egg and milk and pulse again to form a soft dough. Alternatively, mix the flours and baking powder together in a large bowl, add the butter and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar, lemon rind, spices and cherries, then mix in the egg and milk to form a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured work surface and knead briefly. Divide the dough into 6 pieces, form each piece into a ball and place on a baking sheet. Press down lightly, brush with milk and sprinkle with the nuts. Bake for 15 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and leave to cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or cold. Makes 6.
