Do young people even know what a Rock Cake is ? I still remember my grandmother baking these.

Prep time 15 minutes
Cook time 20 minutes

Makes 20


Ingredients
1 1/2 cups self -raising flour
1/2 cup plain flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup cater sugar
100g butter, chilled, chopped
3/4 cup sultanas
2 tablespoon mixed peel
1 egg lightly beaten
1/3 cup milk

Butter to serve.

Method

1. Preheat oven 200°C / 180°C fan-forced . Line to baking trays with baking paper.

2. Sift flours and cinnamon into a large bowl. Stir in sugar . Using your fingertips, rub butter through mixture until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in sultanas and mixed peel. Make a well in the centre. Combine egg and milk in a jug. Pour egg n milk into well. Using a butter knife, mix ingredients to form a sticky dough. Add more milk if necessary.

3. Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of mixture 5cm apart onto prepared trays.

Serve Rock Cakes warm or at room temperature with butter

Lay off the saffron. It's worth more than gold! Same as rice bran oil. Used be sooo cheap but not now!

Saffron is real gold

I hate cinnamon not in my food sorry.saffron is so overrated I used it once in tassie it’s like hello flavour experience.there was none.

I use cinnamon in so much of my cooking including some sauces

I wouldn't know what saffron tastes like. If it was in any meals I've had in the past, it was apparently forgettable.

I mostly leave it out. Its a give or take but at the price of it I say more give or is that take

More of an aesthetic I think. Used it once and definitely no flavour bomb.

Talking about gold - I also don't get the hype about truffles - mushroom has same flavour.

If I’d ever tasted truffles, it would be unknowingly. Just common button mushrooms are good enough for me…fried in butter and garlic. Mmmm

By take do you mean shoplift? At the price, you wouldn't buy it! MacKenzies Australian Saffron - $14.40 per 250 mg at Woolies! That equates to approximately AUD 4300 per ounce compared to USD2020.79 per ounce as at 6.30 am today for f**king gold!

I paid like $15 for a really really small container of it.
It's 100 mg not 100g

Woolies is cheaper this is coles 100mg $14.75

This post was a complete guess that turned out to be correct. Move over Nostradamus!

I have never and would never purchase them but I did see the deliveries at the fresh fruit & vegetable markets where they supply to restaurants - almost an armoured guard scenario.

I hated mushrooms (thought they tasted like dirt), until my third pregnancy. I suddenly couldn’t get enough of them and to this day I thoroughly enjoy eating them.

I cook so many things using mushrooms but for me I hate them. My daughter is amazed at how good my mushroom sauce is when I hate mushrooms so much. No taste testing there
