Ingredients

  • Custard: 500g pot ready-made fresh custard
  • Demerara Sugar: 2 tbsp demerara sugar
  • Frozen Mixed Berry: 250g pack frozen mixed berry
  • Scone Mix: 320g pack scone mix

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200/gas 7. Make up the scone mix according to pack instructions, then press out into a circle approx 20cm across on a lightly floured baking sheet. Make the edge a little thicker than the middle. Bake for 10 mins until risen and light golden. Meanwhile, put the fruit and sugar in a shallow baking dish and microwave on High for 5 mins until hot, but the berries are still holding their shape. Heat the custard according to pack instructions.
  2. Spoon a layer of the custard onto the scone base, then top with the drained fruit. Serve with the rest of the custard.
