Rock Buns
Oven should be at gas 5, 190° (fan 170°?)
175g Wholemeal Flour
175g Plain White Flour
1/4 teaspoon (tsp) Salt
2 level tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Nutmeg*
1/4 tsp Mixed Spice*
175g Butter
175g Soft Brown Sugar
75g Currants/Sultanas/ or mixed fruit*
25g mixed peel*
an egg
a little milk
Mix the flours, salt, baking powder, sugar and spices, then rub in the butter reasonably thoroughly.
add the fruit, mix in egg so that a stiff dough is formed. This is the point where you might need to add a little milk - only enough so that it all holds together.
This will make about 12 - 16 buns - use about a dessert spoonful of mixture to make ranks of them on a baking tray then stick in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes
*The above is the Delia Smith quantity. I always add at least 25%.
