Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour then rub together with the butter and salt until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Step 2
Mix in sugar and dried fruit.
Step 3
Add eggs one at a time, beating together until mixture forms a thick dough. If dough will not form, add a small amount of milk (i.e. a tablespoon).
Step 4

Step 5
Roll dough out on a flat surface.
Step 6
Cut 2–3-inch circles from the dough and fry
