sweet grandma

one of grandmas specialities rock cakes

2 cups standard flour
115g butter
1 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup sultanas
1/4 cup glace mixed peel
2 eggs
Milk for mixing (if required)

1. Preheat the oven to 240C. Grease 2 baking trays.
2. Sift the flour into a bowl. Cut the butter into the flour in small pieces and rub the ingredients together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. (This can also be achieved in a food processor, using the pulse button.)
3. Add the sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, sultanas and peel. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. If the batter is too dry, add one tablespoon of milk at a time to bind into a stiff mixture.
4. Place blobs of mixture in small rough heaps on the cold prepared baking trays, allowing room for expansion. Bake for about 15 minutes, rotating the trays halfway through cooking, until the cakes are golden brown on top. Cool on a wire rack. The cakes will keep in an airtight container for up to a week.

rest in peace dear grandma- i will always remember you for your home baking, jarrah coffee and grandma shoes. my thoughts are with you xxx
