Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Use an ungreased baking sheet.

Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in
a bowl, stirring with a fork to mix well. Add the dried
fruit. Still using a fork, stir in the cream and mix until the dough holds together in a rough mass (the dough will be quite sticky).

Lightly flour a board and transfer the dough to it. Knead the dough 8 or 9 times. Pat into 2 circles about
6 inches round. For the glaze, spread the butter over
the top and side of the circle of dough and sprinkle
the sugar on top. Cut each circle into 8 wedges and
place each piece on the baking sheet, allowing about
an inch between pieces.

Bake for about 11 minutes, or until golden brown.
