HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 190c then line a baking tray with baking paper.

Step 2

Mix the self-raising flour, baking powder and Tate & Lyle Pure Cane caster sugar in a bowl.

Step 3

Add the butter to the flour. Then as though making pastry, lightly and briskly rub the fat into the flour using your fingertips.

Step 4

Add grated apple and cinnamon mixing thoroughly into the flour so that they're well incorporated and the flour is preventing any sticky fruit chunks from sticking together.

Step 5

Beat the egg together with the milk. Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour the liquid in.

Step 6

Using a rounded knife, cut the dry ingredients into the wet and gently but firmly bring the dough together.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 8 pieces and roll into balls then place them on the prepared baking tray, spaced well apart and press down.

Step 8

Bake the Rock Cakes for around 15-18 minutes, until they're just going golden and are cooked through.

Step 9

Remove them from the baking tray immediately to a wire rack and sprinkle with the sugar & cinnamon mix.

Step 10

Serve still warm from the oven with a cuppa!
