I was raised on rock buns and hated them. I know they sound like a figment of my overactive imagination but they are very real and somewhere in the U.K. at this moment a small child is being offered a rock bun and is too polite to say no.
So to ease all of your minds, for I know this is of great concern to everyone, here is the recipe for rock buns. I dare Hannah to make them for the Mercuries!
8 oz. flour
baking powder
4oz. sugar
4oz. butter
3oz. currants
1oz. mixed peel
1 egg
a little milk
Mix flour and sugar in bowl. Rub in butter. Mix in currants and peel. Mix to a stiff dough with egg and milk. Place in rough heaps on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes.
There they are in all their lusciousness: Rock Buns!
I haven't eaten one in 40 years and I am not about to now but they may make an appearance at the GeordieFest. We'll see.

I certainly hope we get them at the GeordieFest. I do like them at times but they also prove the superiority of Viennese desserts.
I have accepted your dare. I will make these rock buns. If all else fails I can at least throw them at those who annoy me. The "rock buns for brains" as it were...
