Mixed Fruit Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 2/3 cup self-rising flour
1 1/2 oz (about 2) pitted dates, finely chopped
1/4 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
1/3 cup dried figs, finely chopped
1 tsp pumpkin- or apple-pie spice
1 cup lemonade
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp milk, for brushing

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425\u00b0F. Sift flour into a large bowl. Stir in dates, apricots, figs and mixed spice.
Mix lemonade and cream together; pour into flour mixture and, using a flat-bladed knife, mix gently until just combined. Dough will have a sticky consistency.
Turn dough out on to a lightly floured surface. Quickly bring dough together to form a 1 1/2-inch-thick round. Using a floured 2-inch cutter, cut 16 rounds from dough.
Place scones on a lightly floured baking tray, just touching side by side. Brush tops with milk. Bake for 12-15 mins, until golden. Serve warm.
