Hermits (eggless)

Ingredients

• 4 ozs Self-raising Flour
• 3 - 4 ozs Dried Fruit
• 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
• A pinch Ground Cloves
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 2 ozs Sugar
• 11/2 ozs Margarine 
• 1/4 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
• Milk and water

Method

Rub the fat into the sifted dry ingredients. Add the fruit and just enough milk and water (half and half) to make a stiff mixture which will hold its shape. Place heaped teaspoonfuls on a greased sheet and bake in a fairly hot oven for 20 minutes.
