5 oz. butter and lard mixed milk to mix
Sift flour with a pinch of salt. Rub in fat roughly. Mix in sugar and fruit. Add milk to make a fairly soft dough. Roll out into an oval shape about three-quarters of an inch thick. Score the top both ways in a lattice pattern. Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes. Cut into
squares while hot.
