step 1
Preheat the oven to 175C. Sieve the flour into a large mixing bowl and then add the ground mixed spice and the cinnamon. Mix through well.
step 2
Next, add the margarine and mix to resemble fine breadcrumbs with your fingers. Add the sugar and then mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Pour a beaten egg into the mixture until it comes together to a sticky, dough ball. You made need a little milk at this point but add it a splash at a time.
step 3
Place the mixture in generous lumps on a baking tray and then sprinkle with sugar. Don't smooth them out too much at this stage as they look much better when cooked, if they remain lumpy.
step 4
Bake in the oven for 10-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
step 5
Then Enjoy! They are perfect with cups of tea and coffee and delicious with clotted cream when still warm from the oven!!
