Rock Cakes a Scottish Tradition

I grew up with my Nana always making some homemade Scottish traditional yummy treats. You knew that when she was coming for a visit there would be several tins of treats and goodies to be had by all. These are precious memories of my Nana and I miss her so much. But I have her wonderful recipes to enjoy still. These little tea cakes can be enjoyed with some tea or coffee and make the perfect treat in the afternoon or anytime. I hope you enjoy it!
