Rock cakes are one of the oldest known New Zealand recipes that have been written down. They date back to 1861 and were enjoyed at tea time by the original English settlers. Ingredients:
1 cup flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons raisins |
2 tablespoons orange marmalade |
1 egg, beaten slightly |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Mix in butter until crumbly (use clean hands). Add sugar, raisins, and marmalade; mix well (with spoon). Add in egg. Batter should be stiff and rocky .
2. The mixture must be stiff, or it will lose shape when baking. Pull off golf ball size chunks of dough and drop on cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake in oven for 15 minutes until lightly browned. Turn bottom side up to cool. Serve with milk or tea.
