Equipment

1 x baking tray
Baking Parchment

Ingredients

200 g White Spelt Flour or plain (all purpose flour)
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 pinch of Salt
50 g caster sugar
110 g Unsalted butter fridge cold cut into cubes.
50 g Milk Chocolate Chips
50 g Dark chocolate Chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 medium egg
2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180deg Fan Assisted.
Line a baking tray with a sheet of baking parchment
Add the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar to a large bowl. Give it a little mix.
Using your finger tips, rub in the butter until you have fine breadcrumbs.
Add the chocolate chips and give everything a good mix to evenly distribute the chocolate. Add the egg, milk and vanilla extract, then using a cutlery knife or large spoon, bring everything together to form a firm dough.
Spoon 11 - 12 individual mounds of dough onto the baking tray leaving a little space between each one.
Bake in the centre of the oven for 12 - 15 mins or until baked. They should have a nice golden colour with the chocolate melting a little.
Baking times will differ if you choose to make larger or smaller rock buns. Take out of the oven and leave to cool on the tray or cake rack.

Notes

Keep in an airtight container for a few days to a week.

You can freeze the dough to bake later. Add an extra minute or two to the baking times when baking from frozen.

You can also freeze the baked rock buns. Bring back to room temperature before serving, or bake in a moderate oven for a few minutes.
