Description
This recipe is almost legendary in our house. Everyone starts licking their lips when someone says ‘you should make that fruit slice with raspberry jam’!
Ingredients
- 2 cups of self raising flour
- 1 cup of lightly packed brown sugar
- 125g of butter, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup of raspberry jam
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3/4 cup of milk
- 1/2 teaspoon of mixed spice
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 cup of mixed dried fruit
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
- Line a 20 cm x 30 cm (8” x 12”) slice tin with baking paper.
- Place the flour, brown sugar, and butter into a food processor fitted with an S blade and pulse until the mixture resembles bread crumbs (you can also rub the butter into the flour and sugar using your fingers if you don’t have a food processor).
- Divide the mixture in half and spread one half into the prepared tin and press it down firmly with the back of a spoon.
- Spread the base with the jam and set aside. *
- To the remaining mixture, add the egg, milk, mixed spice, and baking powder and mix well to make a batter.
- Add the mixed fruit to the batter and again mix well.
- Carefully spoon the batter over the jam base and smooth to edges.
- Bake for 40 – 50 minutes or until golden brown, edges of slice will also shrink away from the sides of the tin when cooked.
Notes
* Warm the jam in the microwave for a few seconds and use a greased butter knife to make spreading the jam easier.
