Rebecca Stubbs: the Vicar's Daughter (2015)
“Much to my disappointment, it was a wet day. Before she left for the school room, I asked Miss Miller if she would like me to do any baking. After some consideration, she replied that she rarely ate cake but that I could make some rock buns if I so wished.
Now some people enjoy rock buns, and it is nice that they do, but I find them crumbly, non-descript, dry, and hardly worth eating. They were the first thing my mother taught me to make, and having satisfied her that I had mastered the rubbing...-in method, we never bothered with rock buns again. The only way to get an amount of pleasure from eating them is eating them when they are still warm from the oven, or failing that, dunking them in tea. To please Miss Miller I duly made a batch of rock buns and had them cooling on the table when she came in for lunch. I poured out a cup of tea to go with the fresh buns, but Miss Miller was busy finding a tin. She congratulated me on their appearance, but immediately stowed all the rock buns away into the tin, saying, “They will be a nice treat for Sunday.”MoreLess
