Rock Buns, a favorite during my Home Economics lesson... I remembered baking a few times during that time using a small toaster because I do not own an oven. When I saw Kenneth Goh sharing the recipe for Rock Buns, I immediately bookmarked it.
Rock Buns (Recipe taken from Kenneth Goh's blog)
- 200 grams of plain flour
- 100 grams of butter
- 50 grams of castor sugar
- 150 grams of dried mixed fruits (I used 50g raisins)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons of milk
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of mixed spice (optional)
STEPS OF PREPARATION
- Pre-heat the oven to 200 degree Celsius
- In a bowl, add the soften butter and flour. Use FINGER TIPS to rub the butter and flour such that it resembles bread crumbs. Add in the mixed fruits and sugar. Use a fork or a tablespoon to stir such that it is well mixed. Make a well in the centre and crack the egg follow by the milk.
- Use the tablespoon or fork to lightly and swiftly mixed it until it form a sticky dough. Take a spoonful and drop the batter on the baking tray leaving some space for expansion. Bake in the pre-heated oven of 200 degree Celsius for about 15-20 minutes or until a skewer inserted to the cakes comes out clean. Best served warm.
Notes:The handling shall be light and fast and no pressing of the dough. Shaping should not be done too. Both steps are to ensure that adequate air are introduced to the cakes so that they can be fluffy. Light handling will ensure no formation of gluten that causes the cake to be chewy and hard.
