This medium-dark fruitcake is full of nuts, fruit and lovely spices. If desired, unwrap occasionally and brush with more brandy.
Using whipping cream in the dough gives these scones a light, fluffy texture and rich, creamy flavour.
Toasting the cumin and coriander seeds, the cinnamon and whole cloves — before blending them with the other spices in the mix — awakens their flavour and fragrance.
