Gluten Free Date and Sultana Rock-Cakes

Oh my, it has been way too long since I have added a new 'tested and true' recipe to the blog.

I have a friend in the office who has been told she is gluten free so I have been having fun with the challenge by changing some of my 'tested and true' recipes by adding gluten free flour. I am not up there completely with gluten free so I have not checked all of the rest of the ingredients but she has not had a problem with my cooking (yet).

Ingredients

2 cups gluten free self-raising flour
1 teaspoon mixed spice (I also added about 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon)
90g butter, partly melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sultanas
1/2 cup chopped dates
1/3 cup milk
1 egg

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
2. Place flour and spice into a large bowl. Add butter (this is where you are meant to rub the butter in but I partly melted the butter and when I put it with the gluten free flour it turned into breadcrumbs (score!)).
3. Add sugar, sultanas and dates.
4. Add milk and egg.
5. Drop dots of mixture onto tray with baking paper. I made about 18 biscuits.
6. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

You can also sprinkle a bit more brown sugar on the top of the biscuits before you put them into the oven.

The office approved of these and I hope you also enjoy them.
