Thickly buttered, these fruity, cinnamon spiced teacakes are brilliant for breakfast or afternoon tea and make a great snack anytime. I used to have them in mid morning break at school! Ingredients:
400 g plain white flour |
12 g salt |
40 g sugar |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
50 g butter |
25 g dried yeast |
220 ml water |
80 g sultanas |
60 g mixed peel |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl place the flour, salt, sugar, cinnamon, butter and yeast.
2. Add the water and mix together to form a dough. Knead for 2 minutes and then transfer the dough to a floured work surface. Knead the dough for a further 5 minutes then place back in the bowl for 1 hour to rise.
3. Add the sultanas and mixed peel and divide the dough into 80g pieces, shape them into balls and using a rolling pin flatten them out to 1cm thick.
4. Place the teacakes onto a greased baking tray and leave to rise for a further hour.
5. Set the oven to 375°F
6. Brush the teacakes with beaten egg and bake for 15 minutes.
7. Once cool, serve toasted with loads of butter!
