This recipe is adapted almost directly from the Engine Shed Recipe Book, a wonderful set of recipes probably only available in Edinburgh.

Ingredients

• 200g plain wholemeal flour
• 200g plain white flour
• 2 tsp sodium bicarbonate
• 2 tsp cream of tartar
• 100g vegan margarine
• 100g sultanas
• 1 banana, chopped
• 1 apple, chopped
• 1 tsp mixed spice
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 225ml soya milk

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas mark 6.
2. Put flour, sodium bicarbonate and cream of tartar in a bowl and rub in margarine until mixture is like fine crumbs.
3. Add sultanas, mixed spice, cinnamon and chopped fruit and mix well.
4. Using a blunt knife, stir in soya milk until mixture comes together. You should find it makes quite a wet dough, but this makes wonderfully moist scones.
5. Flatten the dough into a round (5mm thick) on a floured surface and cut out your preferred size of scone shapes.
6. Put them on a lightly floured baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.
