Rock Cakes

Its a wet, cold morning here in Mildura and I have just washed all my new fabric so there will be no sewing today so its a perfect time to bake a quick batch of rock cakes before I go to work.

I really love sultanas so my favourite biscuits are Rock Cakes. My Grandma always has them in her biscuit container in her kitchen which I raid every visit.

Recipe

• 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 115g unsalted butter
• 1 cup sultana
• 75g caster sugar
• 2 eggs

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Place flour and baking powder into a large bowl, then rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Stir in fruit, sugar and zest. Add eggs, stirring together, until combined.
Place a small tablespoon sized mould on a greased baking tray, leaving space for spreading between each one.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Let cool
