Rock Cakes: A teatime treat

1 lb flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 lb margarine or butter
1/2 lb sugar
1 cup fruit (raisins) and citron peel and cherries - or to taste
1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp almond essence
2 eggs

Add baking powder and sugar to flour and mix.   Cut margarine into flour until crumbly.   Add fruit, peel and essence.   Beat eggs and add to mix.   Drop by craggy spoonfuls onto baking sheet, and bake for 10 - 15 mins.

Don't let the simplicity of this recipe fool you.. these are lovely, and a perfect thing to to have with a cup of tea after an afternoon nap (if you're so lucky;)
