Ally

Have googled but keep coming up with coconut in the recipe

My eldest made them at an after school club last night, and they were to die for :drool: I simply cannot wait till next week to get the recipe:o They were lovely melt in your mouth .... erm ... lumps

I have been told that the ingredients are as follows:
Butter
Flour
Brown Sugar
Sugar Strands
Eggs

don't know the type of flour to use, of quantities for the ingredients

Can anyone help!!

TIA:D

Haven't come across these as such but it sounds like a variant of rock cakes/buns.

There is a recipe on the Cbeebies website (Big Cook Little Cook !)...... no mention of sugar strands though, so may not be right one but it still looks good

I have a recipe for moon rocks in one of my kids cookery books, they are basic rock cakes with added sugar strands, adding chocolate drops instead is also a great recipe.
