Moon Rocks Recipe
Moon Rocks Recipe
Recipe Ingredients:
This will make about 24 moon rocks
For the rock cakes:
300g plain flour
100g butter
˝ cup raisins
100g sugar
1 egg
Blue food colouring (optional)
For the rockets:
Coloured marzipan
Raisins for decoration
Recipe Directions
1. Ask a grown-up to turn the oven on to 200 Celsius/ 400 F /gas mark 6
and make sure you’ve got a lightly greased baking tray ready.
2. Tip the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the butter. Using your
fingers, crumble the butter into the flour. This may take a little time. The
mixture will start to turn from lumpy into fine crumbs.
3. When you are happy with your mixture you can add the sugar followed
by the raisins. Mix all the ingredients together.
4. Add a beaten egg to the mixture, then splash in a few drops of blue
food colouring (optional). You could use any colour you like.
5. Mix it all together with your hands and form the dough into small balls.
Place them on the baking tray in the oven for 15 mins.
6. Whilst the moon rocks are baking in the oven make the decorations.
Make the marzipan into spaceship shapes.
7. Place raisins and sweets on to make portholes.
8. When the fifteen minutes is up take the moon rocks out of the oven. Be
sure to leave them to cool before you touch them. Place a few of the
moon rocks onto a plate and place the spaceships around the edge
