Miscellaneous
They can also be made with cheaper white sugar but will, of course, be less tastey.
The original recipe used half as much fruit which is cheaper but, of course, less fruity.
Use moist dried fruit like sultanas or raisins not small hard currants.
They can be topped with coarse-grain sugar &/or a half a glace cherry each (but I prefer them without).
I've heard that 'chunky hard fruity buns' has an accidental double entendre in the USA dialect of English. Sorry but this page is written in the UK dialect of English so if you were looking for muscular buttocks you have come to the wrong place; enjoy the cakes instead.

How to make rock cake:

These cakes are an absolute tea-time stand-by. They are inexpensive and easy to make but are scrumptious.


Ingredients

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg, well beaten
a little milk
2 tablespoons currants or sultanas


Method

- Rub the butter into the flour.
- Add the dry ingredients.
- Beat in the egg and a little milk if the mixture is too stiff.
- Pile heaps of the mixture onto a greased baking tray.
- Bake in a fairly hot oven for 15-20 minutes.

good luck : )
