8oz (250g) grated raw potato
6oz (200g) grated raw carrot
4oz (125g) plain flour
1 teaspoon salt
2-4 oz (60-120g) sugar
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
10-12 oz (300-350) mixed dried fruit
3oz (90g) melted dripping or margarine
WASH YOUR HANDS FOR HYGIENE PURPOSES!!!
Instructions:
- Grate and prepare all of the vegetable.
- Mix all of the dry ingredients together, add the fruit and vegetables and, lastly, add the melted dripping.
