Total time: 15 min
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cup self-raising flour; 1/2 cup caster sugar; 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; 70 gram butter; 1/2 cup dried cranberries; 1 egg, beaten; 1/4 cup milk; 1/4 cup sugar; 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup self-raising flour

1/2 cup caster sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

70 gram butter

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1 egg, beaten

1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 180°C, and line two baking trays with baking paper.

2.Sift flour, caster sugar and cinnamon into a large bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the cranberries.

3.Make a well in the centre and add the egg and milk, then stir gently to form a stiff dough.

4.Place large spoonfuls onto the trays. Combine sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle generously onto rock cakes.

5.Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Eat while warm with butter and jam or drizzle with honey.

This was one of the first recipes I was allowed to make on my own as a child, and I now see why my mum chose it. It has lots of measuring, sifting, rubbing in with your fingers and gentle mixing – although I thought the best bit was eating them warm straight out of the oven without having to wait for them to cool! – Jo Wilcox
