Burn O'Vat Rock Cakes recipe

• 225 g (7.9oz) Self-raising flour
• 0.5 tsp Ground mixed spice
• 85 g (3oz) Unsalted butter, chilled and diced
• 100 g (3.5oz) Mixed dried fruit and peel
• 1 Medium free-range egg
• 2 tbsp Milk
• 1 tbsp Demerara sugar for sprinkling
• 1 Baking tray, greased with butter
• 85 g (3oz) Golden granulated sugar

1. Heat the oven to 200C/400F/gas 6.
2. Sift the flour and mixed spice into a mixing bowl.
3. Add the diced butter and rub into the flour until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
4. Stir in the sugar and dried fruit with a wooden spoon.
5. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg with the milk until combined, then stir just enough into the fruit mixture to bind to a very firm, stiff dough - it's important that the dough holds its shape, but if there are dry crumbs at the bottom of the bowl and the dough won't stick together, add more milk, a teaspoon at a time.
6. Divide the dough into 10 and spoon on to the prepared baking tray in heaped peaky mounds (to look like rocks), spaced well apart.
7. Sprinkle with the demerara sugar.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cakes are a good golden brown and firm to the touch.
9. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool.
10. Eat warm or at room temperature, the same day.
