Recipe's preparation

Instructions

Set oven to 200°c or 180°c fan

Boil the jug, weigh the dried fruit into a bowl, when the water has boiled pour the water over the dried fruit and set aside for 5 minutes. Once the fruit has plumped up a bit drain in a sieve or colander.

Line a couple of cookies sheets with baking paper. No need if you’re using good non-stick pans.

Weigh the flour, baking powder, spice, sugar and cold butter cubes into the TM bowl, pop on the lid and put the MC in place. Mix for 10 seconds/speed 6

Weigh the egg and milk into the TM bowl and mix again 5 seconds/speed 4

Add in the drained fruit and mix on reverse speed 3 seconds/speed 4

Place spoonfuls of the dough mixture onto your prepared oven trays (I got 11 rock cakes from this batch)

Sprinkle with a little raw sugar then Bake until golden brown (around 20 mins)

Cool on a cake rack,

Tip

These will keep for 3 – 4 days in an airtight container
Don’t over mix.
Don’t overbake.
Take them out when they start to appear golden brown. Too dark and they’ll dry out.

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 6

For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

TM 5

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
