These rock cakes are so soft and fluffy on the inside and have the perfect crunch when you bite into them! My boyfriends family love it when I cook these as they are delicious to have with a cup of tea.

Ingredients

• 225g self raising flour

• 125g stork butter

• 75g caster sugar

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 150g dried fruit (sultanas)

• 1 egg

• 2 tbsp milk

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

1. Preheat the oven to 180C Fan

2. Combine the flour, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl.

3. Cut the butter into cubes and rub it into the flour so it resembles breadcrumbs.

4. Add in the dried fruit.

5. In a separate bowl combine the egg, milk and vanilla extract.

6. Pour the egg mixture into the flour and mix everything together with a spatula so it becomes a thick sticky dough.

7. Now use a tablespoon to spoon out the mixture and place onto a tray with parchment paper. It does not need to be a smooth round ball, it is better if they are messy! This is how you get a lovely crispy exterior.

8. Bake for 20 minutes or until the rock cakes become golden.

9. Once out of the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes and then transfer to cooling rack.

10. Enjoy!
