Old-fashioned scottish raspberry buns

1 batch

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 ounces Flour; self-rising
3 ounces Caster sugar
4 ounces Butter
1 Egg; beaten
teaspoon Milk
Raspberry jam
Caster sugar to dust

Directions

Set oven to 425øF or Mark 7. Grease and flour baking sheets. Sift the flour into a bowl and rub in the butter. Add the sugar and the beaten egg with enough milk to make a fairly stiff consistency. Divide the mixture into about walnut-size balls and place on baking sheets, allowing space for them to spread slightly during cooking. Make a small hole in the centre of each ball and spoon in a little raspberry jam. Pinch the edges together again. Dust lightly with caster sugar.

Bake for 10 minutes then reduce heat to 350øF or Mark 4 and bake for a further 5 minutes. The buns should be light golden in colour. Cool on a wire rack.
