  3. Mix together the melted butter and eggs.
  4. Add to the dry ingredients and form a dough. Stir in the nuts and fruit and mix well.
  5. Form the dough into a sausage shape and flatten out the top to a depth of 7.5cm.
  6. Bake on a baking sheet for 25 mins until golden. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then slice into 2cm slices.
  7. Place back into the oven for 10 mins, then turn and bake for a further 10 mins until crisp.
