6. Dot one-third of the remaining lard and butter over the surface of the dough, sprinkle one-third of the fruit, peel and sugar over the surface then fold the bottom third up and the top third down. Give a quarter turn to the right, then roll out again repeat the whole process twice more.

7. Roll the dough out to fit a greased 20 x 25 cm (8 x 10 inch) roasting tin, cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes, until puffed up.
