5oz Dried Fruit (Sultanas, Raisins, Cheeries)
1 Egg (Lightly beaten)
2 Tbs Milk

Cooking Time: 180c, 15-18 minutes
Serving: 9 Large Rock Cakes / 16 Small

1. Sieve the flour and mixed spice into a bowl
2. Mix the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs
3. Stir in the two sugars and dried fruit
4. Add the lightly beaten egg and milk to the mixture and stir with a wooden spoon or your hands if eaiser so that the mixture forms a nice moist dough
5. Place the mixture onto the 2 greased baking trays, with an even space between the dough so that they do not merge when cooked and place in the oven
6. Once cooked, leave on the trays for 5 minutes and then remove and place on a wire cooling rack.

N.B. These are great to make if you want to take them into work or on a picnic as they travel well and go down a storm.
N.B. If your making them for children and they prefer chocolate you can always swap the dried fruit for the same amount of chocolate chips.
