Rock Drops (Aka Rock Cakes)
- 7 tablespoons butter cut into small pieces, plus extra for greasing
- 1 5/8 cups plain flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 6 tablespoons golden caster sugar
- 1 1/16 cups sultanas
- 3 1/2 tablespoons glace cherries finely chopped
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Lightly grease a baking sheet, large enough for 8 big rock drops, with a little butter.
- Sift the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Rub the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar, sultanas and chopped glace cherries, mixing well. Add the beaten egg and the milk to the mixture and mix to form a soft dough.
- Spoon 8 mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them well apart as they will spread while cooking. Bake in a preheated oven, 200u0b0C / 400u0b0F, for 15-20 minutes or until firm to the touch.
- Remove the rock drops from the baking sheet. Either serve immediately or transfer to a wire rack to cool before serving.
