    Mini rock cakes

    Serves:

    Ingredients

    • 1 and a half cups self-raising flour
    • 2 tbsp custard power
    • half a teaspoon mixed spice
    • 100g butter, chopped
    • 1/3 cup caster sugar
    • half a cup sultanas
    • 1 egg, lightly beaten
    • one and a 1/3 cup milk
    • 2 tbsp caster sugar, extra
    • Butter to serve

    Method

    Preheat oven to 190C.

    Sift flour, custard powder and mixed spice into a large bowl.

    Rub in butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in sugar and sultanas.

    Make a well in the centre. Add egg and enough milk to make a moist dough with a firm consistency.

    Spoon level tablespoons of mixture, about 5cm apart on to lightly greased oven tray.

    Sprinkle evenly with extra sugar.

    Place in oven and cook for approx. 8 minutes, or until lightly brown and fluffy. Loosen cakes, cool on wire racks.

    Serve warm or cold with extra butter.

    Notes:

    • Make sure you give the cakes a good sprinkling of sugar as it creates a lovely taste to bite into on top.
    • If you are not a big fan of mixed spice, you can leave it and the rock cakes will still taste delicious!
