Settle down to tea with Rock Cakes, the always enjoyed teatime favourite.
It's always nice to get baking in the kitchen, and rock cakes compliment a lovely cup of tea or latte perfectly, especially when they are still warm from the oven!
The ingredients for rock cakes are cupboard staples, so you may only have to go and get one ingredient and voi la, a tasty tea time treat is yours.
Ingredients:
Self-raising flour
Caster Sugar
Baking Powder
Unsalted Butter
Dried Fruit
Free-range Egg
Milk
Vanilla Extract
To bake these tasty treats:
1. Preheat oven to 180c/350F/Gas 4 and line a baking tray with baking parchment
2. Mix the flour, sugar and baking powder in a bowl and rub in the butter (cut into cubes) until you get a breadcrumb looking mixture
3. Mix in the dried fruit to the mixture
4. In another bowl, beat the egg and milk together with the vanilla extract
5. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until it's thick and lumpy (add more milk if needed)
6. Place golf ball sized spoons of the mixture onto the baking tray, remember to leave space between them as they will spread out when cooking.
7. Bake for 15-20mins, allow to cool and tuck in!
