As a Derby resident and also a massive Rams fan I had to include this local speciality they look a bit like scones or rock cakes but have a much softer texture. Warning if you are counting the calories these are seriously more-ish
I must thank the following website for this recipe (Thank you) :
Greg's store do sell these if your feeling lazy and even have a facebook appreciation page:
Ingredients
1lb flour
8oz margarine
4oz caster sugar
1oz currants
1 teaspoon baking powder
a few drop of yellow colouring
a squeeze of lemon
1 tablespoon of cold water to mix
Method
- Cream the sugar and margarine together.- Add the colouring and essence to the cold water.
- Stir the liquid into the creamed sugar and margarine.
- Mix in all the dry ingredients.
- Mix to a dough with a little more water if necessary.
- Roll out on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut out with a biscuit cutter.
- Place on a greased baking tray.
- Bake for 30 minutes (about 170 degrees Centigrade).
- Shout come on you Rams before eating
These turn out just like greggs. It's an easy simple to follow recipe. If you have never had the luxury of trying one then you must as you don't know what your missing out on. They are amazing and as mention totally morish so be careful. I am convinced they are physically adictive.

Thanks justjaney - I love Derby Biscuits too unfortunately due to me being on Slimming World now I haven't had any for ages and ages :( I must work on making a low fat version - there must be a way!!!!
DeleteJust wondering self raising or plain flour.
ReplyDeleteYes can you please confirm plain or self raising flour
ReplyDeleteI presume it's self raising because they sure don't work with plain, more like a biscuit
ReplyDeleteI think it's plain flour as they also have baking powder which will help it rise.
