Sift the flour and the salt into a bowl and rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the caster sugar and floured dried fruit.
3
Mix the beaten eggs with the milk and marmalade and add to the dry mixture. Stir in well and mix until the mixture gently drops off the spoon, it may need a little more milk.
