Rock Cakes
2 cups self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup caster sugar
90g butter or margarine
1 cup mixed dried fruit
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Sugar for dusting (optional)
Heat the oven to 180 – 200 degrees.
Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Rub in the butter. Add in the mixed fruit.
Whisk the egg and milk together in a small bowl. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the liquids. Incorporate together until just combined. Do not overmix.
Prepare a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Use a dessertspoon and your finger to push lumps of the mixture onto the tray. Sprinkle with sugar if using. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown underneath. Cool on a wire rack.
