cuppa.

add sugar and fruit

spread during cooking.

Many thanks for a great website. I am an expat living in the
Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
I was reminiscing about how good life was when my mother used to
bake, and I had a craving for rock cakes that just wouldn't go
away.
Having looked through everything in my mums old recipe tin I was
unable to find her recipe, it must have been one of those that she
kept in her head as she made them so often. Then I came across your
wonderful website and found a recipe.
Many thanks to you all.
