SPACE ROCK CAKES
Makes 6 large rock cakes or 12 smaller

Line a couple of baking trays with silicon-coated baking paper or use some reusable baking tray liners.
Put the flour and baking powder into a bowl and then added the margarine and crumb the mix with your finger tips together to add to the mixture.
Children always love the next bit break the egg and whisk the milk and egg. Use a spoon or mix the wet and dry ingredients together he would use his hands. This recipe is great as both methods work just as well.
Divide the mix into 6 large lumps (tennis Ball) or 12 smaller (golf ball sized) and place on the baking tray with enough space to expand.
Put in the oven for between 13 and 20 minutes (this will depend on your oven and you are after a lightly golden color to the surface).
Once they were cooked remove and let cool.
Then Sprinkle with Space dust and enjoy.
