ROUND, HARD WITH A HUGE RED SPOT

Before my visit to Glenn Field last weekend I had planned on going shopping for the following ingredients. But what did I plan to bake and take to celebrate Paul Travers' mevellous aim and victory over the martian mambas? 

  • 8 oz/ 225g self raising flour
  • 1 tsp double action baking powder (US) or 1 tsp baking powder (UK)
  • 4 oz/110g soft butter or margarine
  • 2 oz/ 55g granulated sugar
  • 4 0z/ 110g mixed dried fruit
  • 2 oz/ 55g currants
  • 1 medium egg
  • 1 - 3 tbsp milk
  • Demerara sugar for sprinkling
  • Oil for greasing

    Arto and Ed, your'e both right. It is in fact the list of ingredients for rock cakes, a fat rascal type cake with a glace cherry on top. Rock cake/ rock snake. My little joke.
