What we changed or couldn’t read (2)

Milk is printed as "3 tsp"; that is very little for this batter, and 3 Tbsp. may be meant.
The source's wording about the dry ingredients and fruit is run together ("Sift all dry ingredients and add to mixed fruit, cut up and mix or dredge"); the steps follow the most likely reading.
