1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200/gas 7. Make up the scone mix according to pack instructions, then press out into a circle approx 20cm across on a lightly floured baking sheet. Make the edge a little thicker than the middle. Bake for 10 mins until risen and light golden. Meanwhile, put the fruit and sugar in a shallow baking dish and microwave on High for 5 mins until hot, but the berries are still holding their shape. Heat the custard according to pack instructions.
2. Spoon a layer of the custard onto the scone base, then top with the drained fruit. Serve with the rest of the custard.

Make it creamy

FRUIT FOOL SHORTCAKE Cool the shortcake on a wire rack, then split across the middle. Lightly whip a 142ml carton double cream and fold into ½ pot cold custard. Sandwich together with the creamy custard and fruit. Dust with icing sugar to serve.

  Really comforting Sunday pudding. Really easy to make. The sharpness of the fruit worked well with the sweet custard. There was LOTS of it, so some left over for the next day's breakfast, oops, I mean dessert.

  This is delicious pudding, i used the juices from the fruit to drizzle over the custard which made it look really impressive even though the custard and scone mix was ready made. A real sunday dinner pud but also good to serve for guests.
