Cooking mode
  1. In a small bowl, add the dried fruit, then cover with boiling water and set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare 2 large baking trays.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the flour, caster sugar and baking powder. Add the butter and rub together with your fingertips until it starts to look like breadcrumbs.
  4. Drain the dried fruit, then stir into the flour mixture. Add the milk a little at a time until the mixture comes together. Add a little more flour if the dough becomes too wet.
  5. Place the dough on a floured surface and roll out to about 2cm thick. Using a round cutter, cut out the scones. Place on the tray and brush with soya milk. Bake for 20 minutes or until risen and golden.
