ROCK CAKES

Rock Cakes image

I'm posting these for a request. My mum used to make them, but I've never made them-only eaten them! The directions say a "quick oven". I can only guess what THAT means;-) and whilst these are called cakes, they are more like cookies.

Time 25m

Yield 1 batch of rock cakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups self raising flour
1/2 cup mixed peel
3/4 cup sultana
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup milk (or as needed to make a VERY stiff dough)

Steps:

Cream butter and sugar, add the egg and beat well.
Sift in the flour and spices, add the fruit and begin to add as much milk as you need to make a STIFF dough.
Divide with a fork, and place small pieces on a greased biscuit tray.
Bake in a quick oven for 15 minutes.
*Ican only guess a quick oven would be 200-220c.
