1 - Preheat oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and line a baking tray with baking parchment.

2 - Mix the flour, sugar and baking powder in a bowl and rub in the cubed butter until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs, then mix in the dried fruit.

3 - In a clean bowl, beat the egg and milk together with the vanilla extract.

4 - Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until the mixture just comes together as a thick, lumpy dough.

5 - Add a teaspoon more milk if you really need it to make the mixture stick together.
