Rock Buns

Ingredientes

225g/8oz Odlums Self Raising Flour

125g/4oz Butter or Margarine

75g/3oz Shamrock Golden Caster Sugar

125g/4oz Shamrock Fruit Mix

Instruções

Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Lightly grease a baking tray.

Sieve flour into a bowl and add the butter/margarine. Rub into the flour until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Add the sugar and dried fruit and mix well.

Finally, add the egg and milk, then mix thoroughly to form a stiff dough.

Using two forks, lift up small portions of the mixture and place on the baking sheet about an inch and a half apart. The buns should be rough looking, do not smooth them down.

Shake a little sugar on top of each bun and place in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Leave on tin for about five minutes, then transfer to a wire tray to cool.
