This is a very traditional British recipe for Rock Cakes. Absolutely delicious with a cup of tea or coffee

The Ingredients:
220g NEILL’S®Plain Flour
85g Light Brown Sugar
120g Butter
90g Raisins
1 egg
1.5tbsp Milk
2 tsp Baking Powder

The Ingredients:
Preheat oven to 190c
Sieve the flour and baking powder together, add the butter and use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour. Do this for a few minutes until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Mix the raisins into the brown sugar and then pour this into the flour mixture. Mix well.
In a small bowl beat the egg and milk together and then pour this into the flour mixture too.
Mix well until the mixture forms a moist dough.
Spoon dollops of this mixture onto a baking sheet (you will be able to make about 8 with this recipe)
Sprinkle with demerara sugar (or more light brown if you don’t have demerara)
Bake in the centre of the oven for 20 mins
Remove and allow to cool.

You’re Done!
