Rockcakes

I had a real craving for some of my mums pumpkin scones, and as I'm getting better at baking (and loving to bake more and more), I wanted to try out my scone making skills. I do most of my baking at my mums, as she has everything you need to bake with. Only thing is, her kitchen is tiny as, with no bench space. When I told mum of my wanting to make pumpkin scones, she let me down by saying there wasn't enough room in her kitchen, as I didn't know you had to roll the dough out on the bench to cut them into the scone shape. So I thought of another bakery goodness my mum used to make heaps when I was younger and instantly thought of rockcakes. I got the go ahead to bake them, and happily set about in the kitchen, getting out all the tools I needed, and setting up all the ingredients.

These were amazingly easy to bake, didn't take much time, and tasted really great. My mum approved of them, but just said I needed to add more spice (which I can happily do next time I bake these.) I will deffinatly be baking these again, and the fun thing is, you put in different combinations of ingredients. For these rockcakes, I just used a mixture of dried fruit (without peel, as I'm allergic to oranges, and I don't enjoy peel).
