ROCK CAKES.....

These are delicious with a cup of tea or coffee or just sharing . I covered this batch with a peanut and honey topping and sprinkled with a little xmas glitter. Preheat your oven to 180 deg C . Line a baking tray with baking paper . Place one cup of quinoa flour into a bowl with 1/2 cup of castor sugar , 1 tsp of ground cinnamon , 1/2 tsp of bi carb of soda and finally 1 cup of quinoa flakes . Mix well . Rub in 125 gm of room temp marg / butter , until; mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs . Now mix in 180 gm of mixed fruits . In a small bowl mix together 1 egg lightly mixed , with 1/2cup of milk and 1 tsp of vanilla extract . pour the milk mixture into the flour and use a bread knife to cut through and mix until the batter consistency is moist and firm . Place spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared tray and sprinkle with a little extra sugar. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden and firm to touch . I did not not sprinkle with sugar before baking as I spread the cooked rock cakes with a honey and peanut butter topping and decorated with a little Xmas bling .
