      Ingredients  Method


            1lb flour
            1 teaspoon baking powder
            1 pinch allspice
            1 pinch salt
            4 oz butter
            4 oz lard
            7 oz sugar
            4 oz seedless raisins
            2 eggs, beaten
            Milk to mix
            Caster sugar to sprinkle



            Stir together the flour, baking powder, allspice and salt in a large 
            bowl. Rub in the butter and lard. Add the sugar and raisins. Beat 
            the eggs and add to the mixture, with a little milk, to make a 
            fairly stiff dough. Roll out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch and 
            cut into 2 inch rounds with a pastry cutter. Cook on a greased 
            griddle or heavy based frying pan for about 3 minutes each side 
            until golden brown. Sprinkle with sugar and serve warm.
