Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 250 grams (8.8 ounces) self-raising flour
- 65 grams (2.3 ounces) butter or margarine
- 70 grams (2.5 ounces) sugar
Fruit and Flavor:
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) raisins
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
Binding Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) milk
Instructions
- Prepare the baking workspace by heating the oven to a moderate temperature, ensuring an even cooking environment.
- Create a smooth, aerated base by vigorously blending butter and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and voluminous.
- Introduce moisture and flavor with egg, orange extract, and milk, thoroughly incorporating each ingredient to develop a uniform consistency.
- Gradually fold self-raising flour and raisins into the mixture, gently working the components until a cohesive dough emerges.
- Craft rustic, uneven spherical formations with the dough, placing them strategically across a prepared baking surface.
- Position the tray in the preheated oven, allowing the baked treats to transform into a rich golden hue over 15-20 minutes.
- Allow the rock buns to rest momentarily, permitting slight cooling before serving to enhance texture and release intense aromas.
Notes
- Opt for room temperature butter to ensure smooth creaming and better incorporation with sugar for a lighter texture.
- Replace raisins with other dried fruits like cranberries or chopped apricots to customize flavor and add variety to the rock buns.
- Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough baked goods; stir just until ingredients are combined for tender, crumbly results.
- When shaping the buns, use slightly damp
