Gluten Free Rock Cakes / Rock Buns

ROCK CAKES
A recipe adapted from my mum's old recipe book!
Similar to scones and are really easy to bake!
Serve warm with butter & maybe a little jam!

Ingredients:
8oz self-raising GF flour
(I also add a teaspoon of GF Baking Powder and GF Xantham Gum)
4oz margarine
3 oz sugar (plus a little extra)
4oz sultanas / mixed fruit / peel
1 egg
A little Milk 
  • Preheat the oven to 200c
  • Grease & dust a baking sheet
  • Sieve the GF flour into a bowl 
  • Lightly rub in the margarine until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs
  • Stir in the sugar & fruit
  • Beat the egg. Add the beaten egg to the dry mix.
  • You want to form a stiff and slightly sticky mix. If needed, add a little milk until the mixture comes together
  • Place into rough heaps on a baking sheet
  • Sprinkle with a little extra sugar
  • Bake for between 15 - 20 minutes until golden brown
  • Remove and cool on a wire rack.

Enjoy cold, or warm them a little and spread on some butter & jam!



Served sliced in half with jam and whipped cream:

    I melted the butter because I couldn't be bothered to beat it in. I also added some mixed spice, just because I like it. These are absolutely amazing and will definitely be made again! I now have to leave my husband alone in the house with them .... I have counted!

      Thanks for your comment and I'm pleased to hear they turned out well. What a good idea with the mixed spice.
      Haha! Were there any missing when you got back home?! ;-)
