Instructions
- Load into a bowl the flour, seasonings, and the sugar and then add in the butter chopped into chunks.
- Mix the fat into the flour, seasonings, and sugar until you have a bowl of coarse brown coloured breadcrumbs.
- Then add in the currants, peel, and the zest, along with the vanilla essence and mix well.
- Next add enough milk to make a soft scone style dough.
- Then measure out your mix and then divide by four. Then weigh out your dough to make 4 equal sized dough balls. Then make into scone shapes.
- Decorate the tops with glace cherry halves for eyes, mixed peel for nose and then raisins for a smile.
- Brush the tops of the rascals with egg wash using a pastry brush.
- Load into the air fryer and air fry for 8 minutes at 180c/360f followed by 3 minutes at 160c/320f.
Notes
Milk. I recommend having 2tbsp of milk for helping bind together your fat rascals. Then adding a little at a time. You can always add extra but you can’t take it away.
Currants. I used just 60g of currants and 60g of mixed peel, you can of course double this if you like a lot of them in your dough.
Nut Free. To make our fat rascals nut free we left out the almonds and used raisins instead of almonds for the cheeky smile.
Reheat. You can reheat your fat rascals that you bought from Bettys in the air fryer at 160c/320f for 5 minutes.
