Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mixed dried fruit
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar packed

  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar for icing

Method
 

  1. Cream the butter and brown sugar, then beat in the eggs one at a time.
  2. Fold in the flour, mixed spice, and dried fruit until just combined.

  4. Bake at 350F for 22 to 25 minutes until risen and set, then cool completely.

Notes

A tiny piece of green icing or a single mint leaf on top makes the holly detail.
