    I remember making these Mrs Bailey’s home economics class back in the day! I’m originally from Co Kerry. Thank you for bringing back such a great memory.

    We in the Caribbean add grated coconut just before adding the wet ingredients! Also a bit of ginger, a zest of lime and a bit of cherry in with the fruits too....❤

      Thank you for this tip!
      Looking forward to trying both the original and this Caribbean version. I enjoy the addition of dried fruit to recipes and have friends who also like coconut and lime.
      Thank you Irish Baker and Zoey!

    These are amazing!!! Have made them twice!! I made your fruited soda bread, tea scones, treacle scones, and tea brack! All fantastic! My great grannie was Manx and she was a governess in England. Amazing baker even after she went blind in her 70's!!! it is lovely to get all her bakes back. Your recipes are terrific!!! I was a good baker, and now I am even better. Thank you for teaching us what you know!!

    Rock cakes are a British wartime classic, strongly promoted by the Ministry of Food because of the rationing of other ingredients and because morale was boosted with a baking treat. 1940s British ‘dough schools’ taught the baking of rock cakes which in turn was taken up by secondary school domestic science teachers, most of whom trained in the dough schools, and the recipe remained popular into the early 1970s. It was usually made by or with children as an introduction to baking because it’s a pretty fool proof recipe. The basic recipe does not use spice or buttermilk, just regular whole milk, the texture should not be soft or doughy. The classic recipe calls for crushed sugar cubes to be the sprinkling on top. Everyone in the 1930s and 40s had sugar cubes as well as loose sugar. It creates a gravelly, crunchy topping for the ‘rock’.

      Thanks to my Mum who regularly made them here in Australia, I now make them twice a week and the grandchildren love them ( as indeed I do ) . The main thing to remember, according to Mum , was to have the mix so aa a knife would stand tall without falling over . I personally believe they were a bit too moist in the video , but they still looked good ..

    Made these a couple of times and always came out good. Other than my own, the last time I had them was in 1971, Walton Jail- Liverpool. Mine were better as you would have had to be lucky to get a raisin! I have doubled the recipe and also good. Added cashew nuts as well.

    Can I add a tablespoon of oil to my buttermilk when making rock cakes. What effect would it have? Thanks 🙏

      @irishbakerabroad  2 дня назад +1

      I wouldn’t add any oil. There’s already 100g of butter in the dough already 😊
