Rock cakes are an easy bake, and they’re great to have ready as an afternoon snack as we go into exam season! They’ll keep for while in an airtight container too, but they’re best eaten just out of the oven!

225g self-raising flour
75g caster sugar
1 tsp baking powder
125g cubed butter

2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 180C / 160C Fan and line a baking tray.

3. Add and mix in the dried fruit.
4. In a new bowl, beat the egg and milk together with the vanilla.
5. Add the wet mixture to the dry, and stir with a spoon until a lumpy dough forms. You can always add more milk if it seems too dry!
