- Then add in the currants, peel, and the zest, along with the vanilla essence and mix well.
- Next add enough milk to make a soft scone style dough.
- Then measure out your mix and then divide by four. Then weigh out your dough to make 4 equal sized dough balls. Then make into scone shapes.
- Decorate the tops with glace cherry halves for eyes, mixed peel for nose and then raisins for a smile.
- Brush the tops of the rascals with egg wash using a pastry brush.

Notes
- Milk. I recommend having 2tbsp of milk for helping bind together your fat rascals. Then adding a little at a time. You can always add extra but you can’t take it away.
- Currants. I used just 60g of currants and 60g of mixed peel, you can of course double this if you like a lot of them in your dough.
- Nut Free. To make our fat rascals nut free we left out the almonds and used raisins instead of almonds for the cheeky smile.
- Reheat. You can reheat your fat rascals that you bought from Bettys in the air fryer at 160c/320f for 5 minutes.
