Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas 4.
Grease the baking sheet with lard.
Sift both flours and the baking powder together into the large mixing bowl.
Add the butter and rub into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add the sugar, citrus zest, spices and dried fruit. Mix together well.
Add the beaten egg and enough milk to bring the mixture together into a soft dough.
Form the mixture into 8cm diameter rounds, about 2cm deep.
Place the egg yolk and water in the small bowl and whisk together to make a glaze and brush this over the fat rascals.
Decorate with the cherries and almonds by placing two cherry halves for eyes, and 3-5 blanched almonds placed vertically in a row for teeth.
Transfer to the baking sheet, place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool a little before transferring to the cooling rack.
