ROCK BUNS

I am not a big fan of sultanas in sweets, i much prefer them in savoury dishes but my family and Gareth are a big fan so I thought I would try these out.

These rock buns have orange rind which is a bit unusual, they remind me of Spanish bakes but if you prefer to stick with the traditional just take the orange out. 

Ingredients:

8oz plain flour Pinch salt 2 tsps baking powder 4 oz butter 4 oz caster sugar grated rind of an orange 4 oz sultanas 1 egg

Method:

Place in a bowl the flour, salt, baking powder and butter. Mix to fine breadcrumbs like you would do when doing crumble topping.

Add the rest of the ingredients and combine. You might think there isn’t enough liquid but don’t worry, just persevere and it will come together.

Take a tablespoon of the mixture, be rough, you don’t want balls, just rough little mountains and place on two baking trays lined with baking paper. This recipe makes 12 rock buns so place 6 in each sheet.
