Rock Cakes are British in origin, but where, when, and how exactly they came to be is something that doesn’t seem to be well-known. They’re a popular tea-time treat, and seem to have been around since at least Victorian times. They were also actively promoted by the Ministry of Food during WWII thanks to most Rock Cake recipes using fewer eggs and sugar than a traditional cake. What’s with the name? Well, they’re said to resemble a small rock, as they’re rough in shape. But don’t let that put you off! Rock Buns or Cakes are light and crumbly and a bit like scones, with the process of making them starting off in a very similar way. The good thing is they also use ingredients that we tend to have in the cupboard already or can easily substitute, so they’re an easy one to whip up on a whim.

Thus called because you mound them in craggy peaks to bake and hope they stay that way. My Mum made these a lot when I was growing up in Manchester and I think I also remember being taught how to make them in Domestic Science class at school - they are pretty much a no fail delight - very easy and nigh on impossible to mess up even for a beginner baker. They taste to me how I wished scones tasted - sweeter and more cakey and they cry out for butter and either jam, honey, lemon curd or even Golden Syrup - they are a mish mash blend of biscuit/cookie/cake/scone and are such a nice treat with a cuppa. The ingredients are simple: and the recipe I used is from "A Tale of 12 Kitchens" by Jake Tilson - family cooking in 4 countries, "every aspect has been created by artist and passionate cook Jake Tilson" - a fun and image filled book. Pre heat the oven to 375F. Have a buttered baking sheet to hand. THE INGREDIENTS: As usual I give the ingredients in weights as you get a more reliable result :) This recipe makes 8 medium sized cakes/buns 8oz white flour, unbleached preferably 5oz sugar preferably white 4oz/1 stick of butter (I always use salted Kate's but you can use whichever you prefer) 4oz sultanas/white raisins - I only had regular raisins so I used those. 1 large egg whisked with 2 tablespoons milk 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. Pinch of salt THE RECIPE: 1. Put flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a bowl or the bowl of a food processor - chop butter in and either whizz in the machine or as I do because I love the process of baking - gently rub the butter into the flour with your hands until you get a mixture that looks like fine breadcrumbs thus: 2. Add the raisins and stir to distribute evenly. 3. Stir in the egg/milk mix until the dough comes together. 4. Using a fork pile into craggy heaps onto a buttered baking sheet - 8 piles should do the trick. (You'll see below I only have 4 because I try out the recipe cut in half first in case it doesn't work - plus there are only 2 of us and if I always bake the whole amount we will always eat the whole amount :) 5. Bake for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown Mine spread quite a lot which I was worried about at first because they weren't looking rocky enough for me but they tasted so good I didn't care and I will make them again the very same way. Do let me know if you make them and feel free to post pics of such on my Facebook page - HERE!! HAPPY BAKING
