Rock buns are similar to a scone but packed with mixed fruit with a rough surface resembling a rock! They are really delicious eaten warm or cold. Rock buns were promoted by the Ministry of Food during the Second World War since they require fewer eggs and less sugar than ordinary cakes, an important savings in a time of strict rationing.

This recipe is certainly tried and tested as when I had my cafe I was making scones every morning before we opened at 10am. We always made fruit and cheese scones and they were always good sellers. They were always freshly made every day and to me this is when scones are definitely at their best! They were one of the best sellers in the cafe and some days I would have to make an extra batch as they had all sold out. It took many tries to get a recipe I was happy with and my
