Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix flour with 1 tsp salt and 2 tsp baking powder in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Cut cold butter into flour with your fingertips until the texture resembles coarse sand.

  3. Step 3

    Fold in dried fruit and marzipan cubes. Pour milk in and stir until a shaggy dough forms.

  4. Step 4

    Turn dough onto a floured surface. Shape into a rough oval about 1 inch thick.

  5. Step 5

    Bake on a sheet pan at 400°F until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean, 12–14 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Cool for 2 minutes. Dust generously with powdered sugar while still warm. Serve.
