I Love Love Love eating warm Rock Cakes!

 Warm, straight out of the oven Rock Cakes are just so delicious.

I have been exploring older recipes of late.

 The kinda recipes my Granny used to make my mum

 and my mum made me...

 Thought I would make the girls some...

They sure love helping bake but I think it's the

 licking of the beaters that gets them in...umm umm..

 I used to love that part too when I helped my mum.

 Warm straight out of the oven.... so yummy soft... 

not the usual rock hard.. ha ha... hence the name

 I usually time them for afternoon tea, occasionally for breakfast

 adding a few spices like cinnamon and cherries 

when having them on a Sunday morning.

Hope you enjoy then like I do...

 Rock Cakes (yeilds 20)

To a large bowl add 180gm sugar add to it

 480 gm Self Raising Flour and 120gm Butter,

rub together to resemble fine breadcrumbs.

 Make a well in the centre

 and add 2 eggs, a pinch of cinnamon, 1tsp Vanilla essence

160ml milk and 120gms sultanas

(any fruit will do, like currants cherries etc).

 The mixture will be sticky.

 Place heaped tablespoonfuls on a lined baking tray and

 bake in oven on 180C for 15-20mins...

 I usually watch them after 12mins to make

 sure they look golden  and not too dark.

 Sprinkle with icing sugar and serve warm...

 ENJOY!

Hooray....

After fiddling around for a month or so

 I am thrilled I can now upload photo's to my blog..Hooray Hooray.

 This last month has been rather busy for me...

 Home-schooling started and books galore arrived for us to start with..

 Plans were written and enthusiasm was high.

 My Girls love reading but most of all they love craft..

  I have purchased some funky fabric for them to make

 a pencil case for the new school year...

 I also planned a few things for them

 in the scrap booking area too...more on that later.

 This month I have a quilt published in Homespun magazine. February issue.

 Just love this quilt!

 If you live overseas the pattern will be available from April in my Craftsy shop.
