· Weigh the caster sugar and add to the flour
· Weigh the butter, cut into cubes and add to the dry mixture
· Rub the butter into the mixture until it looks like breadcrumbs
· Beat the eggs and mix in a little buttermilk
· Add to the bowl (save some wet mixture for egg-washing) and mix with your hands to make a dough, use more buttermilk if the dough is too dry
· Knead a little, very gently! Add dried fruit to dough.
