Rock Cakes are a classic British tea time treat that are beloved for their simplicity and delicious taste. These cakes are a kind of cross between a scone and a cookie, with a crisp crust and soft, crumbly interior studded with sweet and chewy dried fruit. While Rock Cakes are traditionally made with currants, you can use any kind of dried fruit you like in this recipe. These cakes are best enjoyed straight out of the oven, served with a hot cup of tea and good company.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2.Sift together the cake flour, salt, and mixed spice.
3.Rub in the butter or margarine until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
4.Stir in the sugar and dried fruit.
5.Beat the egg and add enough milk and water to make up to 1/4 pint. Stir into the flour and fruit mixture.
6.Place spoonfuls of mixture well apart on a greased baking sheet.
7.Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.
8.Cool on a rack and enjoy!
