4 to 6oz sultanas
Drop milk
1tsp cinnamon (optional)

Rub together flour/lard/butter
Add sugar and fruit, cinnamon if using (i dont) bring it all together with milk, not to runny.
Bake in a square tin.
When cooled cut into oblong shapes.
Slice in half spread butter on and enjoy

Why the name Heavy?

I think it would tend to be heavy in texture with those proportions of ingredients, not light like a sponge and there's no egg in it either.

The recipe is very similar to scones, as far as ingredients are concerned....so may be one of those things best eaten fresh
Put the kettle on for the tea to go with it and I'll be round to sample some........just to see if it does taste like scones, of course

My mum called it heavy its her recipe i got it off her as loved it as a kid.

Yes it is a bit sconey but i think better. The trick is getting the final mixture consistency right not to wet not to dry.

Its best eaten in day or 2 , dont forget the butter.
