INGREDIENTS

• 1½ Ibs. fresh apricots, pitted and halved
• 1 cup (8 ozs.) raspberries
• 2 tablespoons (1 oz.) sugar
• 1 cup (3½ ozs.) self-rising flour
• 2 tablespoons (1/2 oz.) ground almonds
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• pinch of grated fresh nutmeg
• 1½ tablespoons turbinado sugar, plus extra for dusting
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons corn oil
• 4 tablespoons soy milk
 

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Put the apricots, raspberries, sugar and water in a saucepan, and cook gently for about 3 minutes, until soft. Pour into an ovenproof serving dish. Set aside.

Sift the flour, almonds, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg into a bowl. Stir in the sugar. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Mix the vanilla, corn oil and milk, and pour the liquid into the well. Mix well, drawing the dry ingredients into the liquid with a wooden spoon. Do not beat. The mixture should take on a dropping consistency. Drop 10 small spoonfuls of the mixture on top of the fruit, and dust with a little sugar. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the topping is risen and golden. Serve warm.
