Title: Rock Buns
Post by: Rosadollymixture on May 09, 2012, 10:30:16 am
Just made a batch of rock buns, a bit Mrs Cropley style (if you watched Vicar of Dibley you'll understand, if not ask someone who did about Mrs Cropley's cooking).  I'd run out of caster sugar making a batch of muffins on Sunday so I used light brown sugar instead and I used up some chopped prunes (left over from Christmas pudding production last autumn) instead of the usual sultanas.  Result, yum :thumbsup: (really).  Chickens supplying lots of eggs right now hence the baking frenzy.

I used to love baking but have lost the inclination :( My younger daughter, though, is like you, she can make a lovely something out of an unpromising nothing :)

They sound lovely.  I wouldn't mind having a go at some myself.

I once saw a trendy magazine article on adding chopped apricots and chopped dates but have never tried it - yours sound like they might keep you nice and 'regular' so to speak   ;)
