Sift the flour, baking powder, spice and salt together. Rub in the butter until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and fruit. Beat the egg. Add with enough milk to make a firm paste. Roll out on a floured board to a thickness of 1/4 inch and cut into 2 inch rounds. Grease a griddle or electric hot plate or thick frying pan. Cook the cakes on the griddle over a gentle heat for about three minutes on each side or until golden brown. Cool and sprinkle with caster sugar. Serve alone or with butter.
