How to Make Rock Cakes
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (add more if desired!), and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional).
- Cut in 1/2 cup cold unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 cup mixed dried fruit (raisins, currants, cranberries – your choice!).
- In a separate small bowl, lightly beat 1 large egg.
- Add the beaten egg to the dry ingredients. Gradually add milk (approximately 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup), mixing until a stiff, slightly sticky dough forms. Don't overmix!
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cakes are light golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let the rock cakes cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
