2. Cut the butter into small pieces and put into a bowl with the flour. Rub together with your fingertips until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs. You can also do this in a food processor.
3. Stir in the spice, Tate & Lyle light brown soft sugar and dried fruits and mix. Now add the Lyle’s Golden Syrup , egg and stir in enough milk to make a stiff dough. Place heaped teaspoons on the baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack. When cold dust with icing sugar.
4. To make Rock cakes look like snowballs, sandwich together with butter cream. Beat the butter, Tate & Lyle icing sugar and milk together until smooth and then using a small palette knife spread a little on half of the rock cakes and place another on top. Dust with icing sugar when assembled
