Ingredients
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 180C / 160C Fan / 325F and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Mix the flour and butter together
- Weigh the flour and add it to a large mixing bowl. Measure the butter and chop it into small pieces. Add the butter to the flour.
- Using your finger tips, rub together the flour and butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add the remaining dry ingredients
- Weigh the sugar and raisins and add to your bowl. Add the mixed spice. Mix it in slightly with a spoon.
Add the egg
- Crack the egg into a small bowl, then add to your mixing bowl and give it a good mix.
Make the rock buns
- Using your hands mix everything together until you have formed a large ball of dough. Divide the mixture into 8 pieces, roll them into balls and pop them on to your baking tray.
Bake the rock buns
- Pop them in the oven for 16-18 minutes. They’re ready when they are starting to look golden brown. Remove from the oven, leave to cool on the tray for a few minutes then put them on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an air tight container. Best eaten within a day or so of baking.
